For Otto Rank, Will Therapy meant that man was primarily directed by his own will and he was not the victim of either internal or external forces. Therapy then became the process of freeing the client to assume responsibility for his choices and for the direction that his life was evolving. The goal of therapy was to enable the person to accept himself as a separate, unique individual who could risk his newfound emotional freedom for creative self-expression and fulfillment. (10 pp.)
