English term or phrase: chooses and wills that which is also absolutely determined

前面说到，当面临抉择时，当事人的任何思想、感受和行为都取决于之前发生的事情。没有什么自由可言。一个具有防御心理的人愿意或者选择了某种行为方式，但是却发现自己无法按照自己的选择行事。他被现时情形里的因素决定着，这些因素包括他自己的防御心理，他对于一些相关数据的否认和扭曲。因此，他的行为自然不会那么尽如人意。他的行为是决定了的，但是他却无法自由地作出有效的选择。
The fully functioning person, on the other hand, not only experiences, but utilizes,the most absolute freedom when he spontaneously, freely, and voluntarily chooses and wills that which is also absolutely determined.

Chinese translation:选择或决意要做某件同样绝对被决定的行动

Explanation:

这里that 是指选择的对象，即行动。而 which 引导一个定语从句来说明所选择的行动的性质，即行动本身是不自由的，是被决定的。

试译：

与此相反，充分发挥着功能的人，虽然所选择或决意要做的行动，也绝对是被决定的，但他们是自主地、自由地、自愿地这样做的，所以，他们不仅充分地体验着最为绝对的自由，而且利用着这种自由。

或者

与此相反，充分发挥着功能的人，自主、自由、自愿地作出选择和意愿。所以，他们不仅充分地体验着最为绝对的自由，而且利用着这种自由，尽管所选择或决意要做的[行动]同样绝对是被决定的。
