Abstract in brief

The text discusses how clinicians currently lack a clear method for understanding emptiness, which can represent feelings of loss, deficiency, alienation, or spiritual goals.
It proposes a framework that separates emptiness into three different dimensions: subjective (personal feelings), objective (external realities), and existential (overall sense of meaning or purpose).
The suggested approach involves using different therapeutic methods—psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, behavioral, relational, and spiritual—to address each dimension and help patients manage their feelings of emptiness more effectively.]
