Holzhey-Kunz's Daseinsanalytic approach facilitates an understanding of the ontological dimension in work with echoists. Case material demonstrates how the approach allows further understanding of echoism. The concept of Hellhörigkeit, the ontico-ontological distinction of Heidegger, and the ideas of Kierkegaard and Sartre, have contributed to a greater understanding of echoists.
