About Viktor Frankl's Logotherapy
Logotherapy the third Viennese School of Psychotherapy founded by
Viktor E. Frankl MD, PhD (1905-1997) is based on three basic principles:
1. Life has meaning under all circumstances;
2. The will to meaning is the most important human motivating force;
3. The human spirit is free to search and find meaning in life.
Logotherapy and Existential Analysis
"Logotherapy ... seeks to bring to awareness the spiritual realities. As Existential Analysis it is particularly concerned making men conscious of their responsibility... Existential Analysis is psychotherapy whose starting point is consciousness of responsibility."
Viktor Frankl, The Doctor and the Soul (1946)
