Behavioral psychotherapy emphasizes empirically supported interventions and theoretical frameworks.

Purpose of the Study:

To comparatively discuss existential and behavioral psychotherapy.
To identify areas of convergence between behavioral theory and existential concepts.
To explore the integration of existential-behavioral constructs in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

Comparative analysis of theoretical frameworks.
Review of empirical research and single case studies in behavioral therapy.
Discussion of phenomenological and existential themes.

Main Results:

Recent emphasis on cognitive variables in behavior therapy has reduced the conceptual distance between existential and behavioral approaches.
Behavioral theory and research can be related to existential concerns such as death, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness.

Conclusions:

Integrating existential-behavioral constructs and methods improves the understanding of psychopathology (aetiology).
Combined existential-behavioral approaches lead to enhanced clinical effectiveness.
Cognitive shifts in behavior therapy have fostered greater alignment with existential principles.
