Frankl's Logotherapy

Logotherapy, founded by Viktor Frankl, is a psychological approach that emphasizes finding meaning in life, especially during suffering. Frankl believed that even in the most challenging circumstances, individuals can discover purpose, which can promote mental well-being. Central to Logotherapy is the idea that our primary drive is not pleasure (as Freud suggested) or power (as Adler proposed), but meaning. Through techniques like reflective thinking and creative self-expression, Logotherapy helps individuals confront existential questions, enabling them to find personal significance and resilience, even in adversity.
