Was a prominent Finnish philosopher and psychologist, widely regarded as a forerunner of existential and humanistic psychology in Finland. He is best known for his holistic theory of human existence, which integrates physical embodiment, consciousness (both physical and spiritual), and the situation of being. Rauhala’s philosophical contribution to the world is the concept of the regulative situational circuit: the situation (to which all humans are related), physicality, and consciousness mutually regulate each other. His work has profoundly shaped Finnish psychology, education, and nursing care, showing that helping and supporting others should be multidimensional and holistic.
