Written by an international assembly
of leading exponents of existential
psychotherapy and related disciplines,
this book includes thirty chapters on
current trends and topics in Logotherapy
and Existential Analysis. It provides
readers with an up-to-date and well-integrated
text that will enhance the knowledge and
skills of everyone who in one way or
another applies meaning-oriented and
person-centered psychotherapy and
counseling in his or her professional
and/or personal life. In keeping with
Logotherapy’s tradition of
interdisciplinarity, the research
gathered in this volume comes from a
variety of sources and disciplines,
including medicine, psychiatry,
psychology (both clinical and
theoretical), counseling, nursing, and
philosophy.
Part I focuses on the theoretical
foundations of Logotherapy and
Existential Analysis as well as tributes
to Professor Viktor Frankl. Reflections
on Logotherapy and its broad application
to everyday life and psychotherapy are
also included in this part. Part II
addresses Logotherapy in the context of
current trends in the empirical,
theoretical, and clinical behavioral
sciences. Part III presents new
approaches and applications of
Logotherapy and Existential Analysis,
whereas Part IV introduces new research
and empirical findings on the
application of Logotherapy, the
constructs of hope and meaning, and
meaning in suffering.
As Jay I. Levinson, Ph.D., former
Special Assistant to Viktor E. Frankl,
and co-editor of this essential new
volume, says in his foreword, “It was
always Frankl’s wish … that he not be
seen as the great ‘guru,’ meaning the
only and/or ultimate authority on
existential psychiatry. Rather, Frankl
encouraged others to build on his
theories, expand the literature and
further serve humankind.” Thus, the 30
chapters contained here allow readers
access not only to the contributions of
Viktor Frankl but to the grand
extrapolations that have been made by
those who have learned from him. Like a
force of nature, the Logotherapy
paradigm shows us the vision in its
roots and the core in its branches.
The specific and the general dovetail to
clarify the philosophical basis and
clinical applications of Frankl’s
Logotherapy, as well as possible future
directions. Contributors include:
