Meaning-Centred Psychotherapy
Viktor E. Frankl, the founder of the "meaning centred psychotherapy" called logotherapy, was awarded 29 honorary doctorates from around the world for his work. One distinguishing feature of this form of psychotherapy is that it works well in the long term as well as providing short time relief. This is more and more important in view of the increasing numbers of people in the world who suffer from mental instabilities or disorders. The two renowned authors of this book offer exciting insights into the practical application of logotherapy. In doing so, they inspire readers to come up with ideas and tips for their own lives.
The Therapist and the Soul
The Therapist and the Soul: From Fate to Freedom by Elisabeth Lukas Elisabeth Lukas is one of the leading practitioners of logotherapy in the world, and is internationally known for applying and extending the work of Viktor Frankl. Frankl noted that, "For Lukas, there is no human being who does not retain a chance to grow, no situation which does not have its spark of meaning.... To elucidate meaning possibilities is the art of Elisabeth Lukas and entirely in the tradition of logotherapy." In this book, Lukas offers hope to those who suffer from guilt or fear, whether justified or not. Each must be dealt with differently; for example, it is common for a person to suffer from guilt for an acc...

Meaning in Suffering
This 1986 classic has been renewed with fresh graphics and crisp typesetting. Elisabeth Lukas artistic discovery of the uniqueness of each individual shines across dozens of case studies and examples; thus she illuminates the potential for meaning in the presence of even intractable pain, guilt, and suffering. Lukas demonstrates a living logotherapy, not by standardized techniques, but by the compassion and insight she brings into each therapeutic relationship. The true heroes of life are not the triumphant victors, but the defeated who find a ray of hope (p. 52). As Lukas notes in the introduction: For thousands of years, people have done pretty well without the science of psychotherapy. Ye...

Logotherapy

He developed a form of psychotherapy with an intriguingly dignified concept of human beings and the world which has an impressive track record of rapid success in practical application. Numerous universities around the world have honoured Frankl for his achievements. The present book provides a structured insight into his work. It explains the anthropological foundation of logotherapy and the healing concepts that are built on this foundation.
MEANINGFUL RENUNCIATION
In our turbulent times, many look to the horizon, searching for a glimmer of hope. Yet there may be more than one silver lining within reach. Industry's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions could be one such ray. The decision of affluent nations to curb waste and luxury, along with a readiness to share with struggling countries, could be another. And perhaps the brightest light of all would be a shift from aggression and conflict to compromise and cooperation. What's true for the world is just as true for each of us individually. Thoughtful restraint at the right moment can relieve personal crises, ease tensions, and bring inner peace. Two experienced logotherapists have drawn from both theory and practice to offer insights that help readers discover how a mindful approach—choosing what to hold on to and what to let go—can foster confidence for the future and enrich quality of life in the present.
Meaningful Living
Is there something more than this? What is the meaning of my life? Lukas' classic book introduces the theory and practice of logotherapy. Second expanded edition includes an additional section by Elisabeth Lukas and Bianca Hirsch.
