To contextualize the scholarship in this special issue, I argue that primary tenets of existentialism are transtheoretical in the counseling profession. Specifically, issues of authenticity, freedom, and responsibility to others are articulated as having shared heritage in existentialism. Deepening the well of existential scholarship can catalyze a renewed relationship between theory and practice.
