Abstract: For the purposes of a survey of the correlation between psychic health - personhood - existentiality 211 predominantly higher qualified and in elevated professional positions working adults at the age of 18 to 70 years (43,6% male, 56,4% female) were examined with the Trierer-Person-lichkeitsfragebogen (TPF-Becker, 1989) and the Existenz-Skala (Langle & Orgler, 1991). The results show, that existentiality was found to be a correlative for psychic health to a medium extent in several subscales of the TPF; personhood correlates with psychic health only in the dimension self-transcendence, but not in the dimension self-distance.
