Abstract: In the modern psychological tradition there exists a dramatic disparity between the experimental probative research and the psychotherapist practice. It is connected with the fact that such most important elements in existential and humanistic psychotherapy of existence as “the picture of the world of man”, “freedom”, “loneliness “ etc. are semantically uncertain concepts and therefore they are inaccessible for experiment checkup with the use of the traditional mathematical methods. However their formalization as well as their use in practice is possible. With the help of psychosemiotic methods it became possible to prove that the picture of the world of a human being is not a metaphor but it does exits in reality and is reflected consequently on the texts both written and oral which are generated by this human being. Analyzing the texts with the help of the specially created formal procedure it became possible to recreate the model of the picture of the world of the author of these texts while the formalization brings to the minimum the plurality and the arbitrariness of the interpretations whereas the reliability is checked with the help of the easy mathematical method with the use of combinatorics. As a result it became possible to detect omissions and in a number of cases to reconstruct them (with the data precision), which apart from the theoretical interest opens up new productive strategies in psychotherapy
