Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the issue of free will. Two perspectives will be presented—a philosophical one, which explains what free will essentially is and points to the ultimate causes justifying its existence, and a psychological one, showing the relationship between psychosomat ic determinants and the unlimited noetic dimension of existence. The aim of the reflection, therefore, is to answer the question: what is the relationship between external and internal determinants and the structures of the deep ‘Self’ possessing free will? The article also presents a case study in which a person in an existential crisis is analyzed and provided with psychological therapy.
