The much used and popular word "freedom" is being examined as to its significance and in that context the peculiar expression "freedom of will" is also brought into the discussion. In the course of this clarification, philosophy, jurisprudence, poetic-literary and our everyday language all had to lend a hand. In its application to psychic abnormal and sick persons one finds that in the endogenous psychoses, because of the profound change of existence, some patients experience the freedom of being for the very first time; this, however, can in the course of the illness turn into its opposite.
人们正在审视常用且流行的“自由”一词的意义，在此背景下，“意志自由”这一独特表述也被纳入讨论。在这一阐释过程中，哲学、法学、诗文学以及我们的日常语言都不得不助一臂之力。在将其应用于精神异常和患病个体时人们发现，在内源性精神病中，由于生存状态的深刻改变，一些患者首次体验到了存在的自由；然而，在疾病过程中，这种自由可能会走向反面。
