Abstract

Even though Psychology has always tried to clarify all those aspects which form the affective, cognitive and behavioral reality of the human being, it has always remained loose, at a general level, another basic aspect from which all the former branch out according to existencial psychology: The particular structure of existence.For that reason, the objetive of this article is to quest for the person who is giving life and support to all those impulses, thinking processes, dynamics, and psychological mechanisms which this person undertakes in order to give himself a meaning in the concrete world where s/he is, and all its implications for the psychological comprehension.

Keywords: Thinking processes, psychopathology
