Description

This course introduces you to Logotherapy , the powerful, meaning-centered approach to psychotherapy developed by Viktor Frankl , a Holocaust survivor, neurologist, and psychiatrist. Logotherapy teaches that the will to meaning —the desire to find purpose in life—is the most fundamental human motivation.

You'll begin with an exploration of Frankl's life, including his harrowing experience in Nazi concentration camps, where he developed the foundational ideas of Logotherapy. Drawing from real-life suffering, Frankl discovered that those who could find meaning in pain were more likely to endure it with resilience and hope.

We'll unpack the core concepts of Logotherapy , including its three pillars:

  1. Creative values (through work and achievement),

  2. Experiential values (through love and experiences), and

  3. Attitudinal values (adopting a meaningful response to suffering).

You'll also explore the techniques of Logotherapy , including dereflection , paradoxical intention , and Socratic dialogue —each offering practical tools for overcoming issues like grief, guilt, depression, addiction, trauma, and anxiety.

Alongside theory, the course includes real-life examples , reflective exercises , and guided meaning-making prompts to help you integrate this philosophy into your everyday life.

This course is ideal for psychology students, therapists, counselors, life coaches , or anyone seeking a deeper purpose in life. With Frankl's timeless philosophy, you'll discover how meaning can be found not just in success, but in love, creativity, and even unavoidable suffering—offering a transformative path to resilience, fulfillment, and personal growth.
