The present book offers a collection of articles and writings which detail aspects of the theme of finding meaning in suffering as a perspective available through Viktor E. Frankl's Logotherapy and Existential Analysis. It is comprised of selected articles which illustrate dimensions of finding meaning in unavoidable suffering. --By unavoidable suffering we mean that suffering which can not be cured or lifted because it is not possible to avoid it by some means that would be otherwise the first meaningful response to it. Through meaning-centered lenses, the book intends to highlight how understanding the unfolding of meaning in our lives can be part of a historical and biographical exploration; how Viktor Frankl himself experienced and responded to suffering in his life; how his system of meaning-centered psychotherapy responds to aspects of suffering universally confronting humanity; and how, through the freedom of will of each individual, a unique and meaningful answer can be searched for, found, and actualized.

A book of short poems about love, conflict, and rejuvenation.

It illustrates that, beyond a philosophy, Logotherapy is also a theory of personality, and a form of therapy. The book aims to illustrate the inductive and deductive interplay between theory and practice.Volume I is devoted entirely to Logotheory. Volume II contains the chapters which portray the practical applications of Logotherapy. Each chapter ends with Points to Ponder, which aim to bridge the chapters, and to highlight connections between theory and practice. The Appendix is written in the form of a Study Guide, expanding on Logotherapy's applications in specific practice areas in line with current developments in mental health care.
