What is Logotherapy?

Logotherapy is based on the premise that life has meaning under all circumstances. With this life orientation, logotherapy directs our fundamental will to find meaning in life towards realising the unique values embedded not only in opportunities, joys and challenges of life, but also in the pain and suffering. Clearly stated in The quest for destiny written by Dr Teria Shantall 2003.3 and proven by Dr Viktor Frankl throughout his suffering in life. In logotherapy, the therapist tracks down the self-curative powers of the patient such as courage, power to defy, humour and gratitude and deliberately reinforces them.
