Four givens are particularly relevant for psycho-therapy: the inevitability of death for each of us and for those we love; the freedom to make our lives as we will; our ultimate aloneness; and, finally, the absence of any obvious meaning or sense to life.
我们生活的四个既定事实与心理治疗息息相关：我们及我们所爱的人终将不可避免地会死亡；每个人都有选择生活方式的自由；人终究是孤单的；最后一点，生命本没有明显的意义或道理。
