Abstract

This article is a theoretical reflection about the psychological foundation implied in the experiential process of human beings. In this article it is emphasized the need of understanding the psychological position that human beings develop in daily life from the intentions, values, and meanings that they try to affirm or preserve when they relate to any situation or determinism. Based on the theoretical work of contemporary authors, conclusions based on the clinical experience, and the findings of several hermeneutical phenomenological researches, it is concluded that the human experiential process implies and is characterized by the interaction and integration between the concepts of wish, will, meaning, valuing, consciousness, and intentionality.
