Short course in Logotherapy offered by Unisa
Logotherapy is meaning-centred counselling and psychotherapy based on the principles of living life with a sense of purpose and direction. It is applicable in cases where people have to deal with loss, tragedy, terminal illness and disease, chronic pain or disablement, or any other stress-provoking situation causing a crisis of meaning in their lives. It is also indicated in many cases of substance abuse, violence, crime, and depressions earmarked by a sense of meaninglessness and despair as a result of a lack of purpose and direction in life. The course is the first of its kind in South Africa and is run in close collaboration with the international body, The Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy in Dallas, Texas.
Meaningful quotes
If architects want to strengthen a decrepit arch, they increase the load that is laid upon it, for thereby the parts are joined more firmly together. So, if therapists wish to foster their patients' mental health, they should not be afraid to increase that load through a reorientation toward the meaning of one's life. Viktor Frankl |
