	Logotherapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Developed by neurologist and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, Logotherapy is considered the "third Viennese school of psychotherapy" after Freud's psychoanalysis and Adler's individual psychology.
		It is a type of Existential Analysis that focuses on a "will to meaning" as opposed to Adler's Nietzschian doctrine of "will to power" or Freud's of "will to pleasure".
		The human spirit is referred to in several of the assumptions of Logotherapy, but it should be noted that the use of the term spirit is not "spiritual" or "religious." In Frankl's view, the spirit is the will of the human being.

		The Austrian founder of a type of psychotherapy known as logotherapy was to undergo bypass surgery and theprospects were dim.
		Logotherapy is described as "health through meaning," and its practitioners teach their clients that "the search for meaning in the circumstances of one's life is the key to psychological well-being," Barnes said.
		Hence, logotherapy brings "health through meaning." In a practical application, that means that if people can find a meaning for their lives even in the direst of circumstances, they can be healthy.

		Logotherapy is a term first coined by Viktor E. Frankl in 1926 that means “therapy through meaning.” While developed within the context of a psychiatric practice, logotherapy employs techniques useful for the schizophrenic, neurotic and mentally well alike.
		Logotherapy is predicated upon assumptions about the nature of humanity that coincide with the principles of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
		Another criticism of logotherapy is the concern that the doctor is exceeding his realm of expertise when he discusses philosophical and religious matters with the patient.

		In logotherapy terms, the significance of this narrative is the meaning that the patient had found in her dying (Frankl, Will, 150).

		Thus, logotherapy is a personalistic psychotherapy which does not concern itself primarily with symptoms, but rather tries to bring about a change in orientation with respect to the symptoms.
		The therapeutic aim of logotherapy is to make the individual aware of him purpose in life and to bring him to a fuller understanding of it.
		Logotherapy is based on the observation that uncertainty about life’s meaning is one of the most important causes of emotional problems in the world today.

	Victor Frankl
		Logotherapy was developed by Viktor Frankl and is referred to as the "Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy." It comes from the Greek word "logos".
		Logotherapy focuses on "the meaning of human existence as well as man's search for meaning".

	Unit 11c Frankl
		Logotherapy does not dictate to clients how to think about the meaning of life, though it offers some suggestions and insights about how meaning is to be found.
		The term logotherapy itself comes from the Greek word logos which means "word", "meaning", or "purpose" (the same Greek word that is used, incidentally, in John 1:1).
		Logotherapy addresses itself to the existential problem of meaninglessness (boredom, apathy, a "wasted" life, "squandered" time) and is not afraid to speak, albeit in rather generic terms, about spiritual issues and concerns (see also Unit 8).

		Logotherapy also employs techniques useful for phobias, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders and medical ministry.
		But Logotherapy was also the result of Frankl's own ideas and improvisations, not all of which are very obviously connected with his experiences in the camps or the meaning of life.
		More generally, logotherapy can be seen as dereflecting the patient away from their presenting problem towards searching for meaning.

		Logotherapy assumes that man, in addition to his physical and psychological dimensions, possesses a specifically human dimension, and that all three must be considered if he is to be fully understood.
		Logotherapy further asserts that man is fee, within obvious limitations, to make choices regarding his activities, experiences, and attitudes, and that freedom allows him to change himself - to decide not only what kind of a person he is but also what kind of a person he is going to become.
		Logotherapy insists that man must not use his freedom arbitrarily, but tempered with responsibility; that he must assume the awful and magnificent responsibility of his own choices.

		Instead of teaching that the human person's frustration was rooted primarily in a sexual problem or behavioral conditioning, Frankl taught that human beings are frustrated by a lack of meaning in their lives.
		Hence, logotherapy teaches that there are three basic or general ways in which a human being can find meaning in his or her life.
		Logotherapy, according to Frankl, is "...an essentially secular approach" to psychotherapy.11 It is "...available for every patient and usable in the hands of every doctor, whether his Weltanschauung (world view) is theistic or agnostic."12 In short, simply because a person is a human being, he or she may benefit from logotherapy.

		Logotherapy, as a secular theory, must restrict itself to factual statements, leaving to the patient the decision about how to understand his own being, responsibility, and meaning: whether along the line of religious beliefs or agnostic convection.
		Logotherapy is an optimistic approach to life for it teaches that there are no tragic or negative aspect of life that can not be, by the stand one takes to them, translated into positive accomplishment.
		Logotherapy is concerned not only with being but also with meaning; not only with ontos but also with logos; and this feature may well account for the activistic, therapeutic orientation of logotherapy.

		Meaning of the moment: We have all the time to answer the questions life asks us and, therefore, it is important to understand the meaning of each moment by fulfilling the demands life places on us.
		Logotherapy teaches that it is not we who can ask life, "WHY, WHY, WHY...?" Rather, it is Life, who is the questioner.
		There, the "defiant power of the human spirit" has to be activated and brought to bear on current life situations to bring about the desired change that is healing or life-giving.

		According to his theory of logotherapy, the meaning can be discovered by creating a work or a deed, experiencing something or encountering someone, and by the attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering.
		As stated in logotherapy, man's main concern in life is not to gain pleasure or to avoid pain, but rather to see a meaning in life.

		Thus Frankl's own "logotherapy," which views suffering not as an obstacle to happiness but often the necessary means to it, less a pathology than a path.
		What distinguishes logotherapy from other schools of psychology is the humble recognition of an objective order that simply is and moral facts about the universe that are beyond our power to escape, modify, or reinvent.
		The positing of a supermeaning that evades mere rational grasp is one of the main tenets of logotherapy, after all.
