Viktor Emil Frankl, the founder of logotherapy, ranks amongst the twentieth century's most important researchers into the human condition. 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.

Founded by Viktor E. Frankl, logotherapy is a form of psychotherapy that has proven itself over decades - through periods of war and prosperity - to work for the happiness and mitigate the unhappiness of all sorts of people. It has an impressive track record of success. It helps people to remain mentally supple in crisis situations and opens up new possibilities for discovering meaning. Its sophisticated methods all rely on the inalienable dignity of the unique person - who is trusted, in the interplay of freedom and responsibility, to outgrow his or her own problems and weaknesses. In this book, two experts in logotherapy report on their experiences. Through real case histories and expert discussion, readers discover for themselves just how beneficial this form of psychotherapy can be.

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.

In der Betriebsamkeit des Alltags bleibt leider viel zu oft ungesagt, warum die oder der andere so wertvoll für uns ist. Die gedankenreichen, einfühlsam bebilderten Texte von Elisabeth Lukas können helfen, dies wettzumachen. Sie rufen dem Leser eindrucksvoll ins Bewusstsein, dass unser eigenes Leben und das vieler anderer ohne diesen einzigartigen Menschen anders aussähe und etwas Bereicherndes fehlen würde.
