Back on land and development
As a former student of Freud, Viktor Frankl has an orientation psycholanalyical, however, was influenced by the writings of existential philosophers like Heidegger, Scheler, Jaspers. Frankl begin to develop his existential philosophy and therapeutic techniques. To avoid confusion with Bingswanger's existential analysis, Frankl coined the term therapy to avoid the logo. According to Frankl,Proceeds from Logotherapy Spirtual, while the existential analysis is due to the Spirtual.
Frankl's first book was published in 1946 in German and translated into English in 1959 under the title From Death Camp to Existentialism. This book was later revised to clarify the basic concepts of speech therapy and can be re-distributed in the year 1962, under the title "Man's Search for Meaning belong.
Philosophy andConcepts
Frankl believes that even under the extreme physical and psychological burdens of the concentration of man's spiritual freedom that can safeguard the independence of mind. He can decide what has become of him mentally and sparitually. And 'this freedom Spa Ritual, which can not be taken. Furthermore, Frankl, when it gives life a sense, but it also makes sense, suffering, suffering because, as death is an inescapableLife.
The nature of the person
The individual is a unit consisting of three aspects: body, mind and disappeared. The first two are closely interrelated and together form the psychophysicum through the mediation of Freud, Adler and Jung, we have neglected a working knowledge of the mind and body, but the spiritual side of human scale. Logotherapy in the third dimension, the spiritual man. Spirituality is theChief attribute of the person, and from this comes the awareness, love and aesthetic consciousness. The second of human existence is freedom. To be human is to be decided in this situation. Man is free to decide what he wants to be the later. Freedom, freedom on three levels: at the moment, hereditary predisposition and environment. True, people are influenced by all these factors, but are free to accept or reject and take a stand on theseTerms.
It is not easy, will establish its existence. As the man on the biological, psychological and sociological can be increased, according to forecasts, are remarkably unpredictable. The third factor is the existence of individual responsibility. Individual freedom is not just freedom from, but freedom for something, and indeed to Frankl, is individual responsibility. Logotherapy tries to customers fully aware of itsresponsibility, must decide what to what or who understand that you are responsible.
Justification
The main motivation is the individual is not the will to pleasure or the will to power, but the will to meaning. And 'this deeply that many people are motivated, that the phenomenon most human of all, like an animal, certainly never worried about the meaning of their existence. The meaning is not of men, it was invented but discoveredthem. They give meaning to their lives through the realization of creative values, by achieving tasks. People realize values through their attitudes toward unavoidable suffering, or discolored.
This is the setting of values and the possibility for their realization to exist until the last moment of life, suffering has meaning. The will to meaning is not a driving force in the psychodynamic sense. The values of itself does not guide a man who has not pushed, but take it. They include decisions orDecisions is not the man is driven to moral behavior, in any case it decides to behave morally. He does so in the interests of all cases in which it undertakes, or a person who loves, or because of his God
The Vacum existential frustration and existential analysis
This existential vacum is most evident in a state of boredom. For example, Sunday kind of Neurosis depression, people suffering the emptiness be aware of theirLife has been busy noise of the week is over and the vacuum is self-evident. Existential frustration is the frustration of the will to meaning. This frustration is a representative of a desire for power or the will to compensate for joy. Often, existential frustration with the sexual balance. It may be noted that the sexual libido in existential vacum on the agenda.
Existential frustration is not pathological or pathogenic, not every conflict isnecessary neurotic suffering is not always a pathological phenomenon. The search for meaning can lead to tension rather than equilibrium, but the tension is not pathological, it is rather a prerequisite for mental health.
The nature of neurosis and psychosis
Although the existential conflicts can exist without neurosis, every neurosis is an existential. Neuroses are based didderent in four basic dimensions of human resourceswith the physical, psychological, social and existential or spiritual. For example, do not arise neurosis Noegenic conflict between the drives and instincts, but by conflicts between different values, in other words, moral conflicts and spiritual matters.
Frankl believed that the characteristics of collective neurosis of the four symptoms: (approach to day 1) of modern life, (2) People fatalistic attitude toward life, (3) collective human thought,and the last symptom is fanaticism. Ultimately, all four of the symptoms can be feared again, the responsibility of man and his escape from freedom back.
