Publisher Description: This book reviews the fundamental tenets of Viktor E. Frankl's Logotherapy and Existential Analysis: (1) Meaning in Life; (2) Freedom of Will; and (3) Will to Meaning. Meaning in life is a philosophical tenet. The freedom of will is an anthropological tenet which allows for a holistic conceptualization of the person. The will to meaning is a psychotherapeutic tenet. The three pillars are at the core of meaning centered interventions. It provides an overview of the evidence supporting the validity of these concepts in meaning centered psychotherapy. It details the results of emerging research surveying the experience of freedom of will. The "Principled Model of the Freedom of Will" is presented with implications for the interpretation and application of neuroscience findings in psychotherapy practice and everyday living. A valuable resource for practitioners and students of meaning centered psychotherapy who wish to familiarize themselves with the theoretical foundations underlying the practice of this modality. It may be of interest to readers for personal and professional development. |
