ABSTRACT

There is robust evidence to support the relationship between spirituality and mental health, but the mechanisms of this association are not well-understood. The existential meaning provided by spirituality may be one of these mechanisms. This was the central theme of Viktor Frankl's psychology, which he explained using the notion of the spiritual unconscious. Thus, we sought to explain how Frankl understands this spiritual unconscious and the two pieces of evidence he presents for its existence: the phenomenological description of responsible action and the analysis of dreams. Lastly, we discuss his contribution to the current understanding of the relationship between having an overarching purpose and/or religious meaning and improvement in mental health.

ABSTRACT

Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, born in 1938, is Africa's first elected female head of state. She navigated stressful and traumatic events, including bullying, domestic abuse, persecution, a civil war, witnessing the effects of genocide and navigating a patriarchal system. Nonetheless, Johnson-Sirleaf's determination established her as a global icon who played a significant role in women's empowerment. Johnson-Sirleaf was purposively selected for this study as she is an extraordinary female political leader. Frankl's dimensional ontology is employed to describe and explore the life of Johnson-Sirleaf from a psychobiographical perspective using publicly available information. The study focused on the period between 1938 and 2005. The findings suggest that Johnson-Sirleaf transcended psychophysical and psychosocial limitations and crafted a meaningful life. It seems Johnson-Sirleaf was guided by a sense of purpose and used her will to meaning to overcome psychosocial injustices and psychophysical issues. This study illustrates the value of Frankl's existential theory in illuminating the life histories of extraordinary political leaders and its potential contribution to contemporary mental health challenges.

ABSTRACT

Life-threatening illness such as cancer may lead to existential distress, fears about dying, and questioning our legacy and impact on those around us. Building on the foundation of meaning-focused interventions in cancer care and the significance of the therapeutic alliance, the paradigm of vicarious resilience can inform oncology social work, serving as a means of growth, resilience, and self-care for clinicians. Vicarious resilience is the strength clinicians may experience through clients' resilience in facing adversity, and the meaning that practitioners can gain from supporting individuals through traumatic situations, namely life-threatening illness. Social workers in the field of oncology are at risk for vicarious traumatization and compassion fatigue, as they walk alongside clients through suffering and loss, while also positioned to experience vicarious resilience and meaning through the resilience displayed by clients. This paper will examine the potential benefits of vicarious resilience in the field, and through enhancing psychoeducation and incorporating it into training and supervision, it can be brought to the fore as a paradigm in cancer care, offering a means to support practitioners. A case study involving a composite client navigating her cancer journey will be shared, illustrating the companionship and vicarious resilience through the oncology social work relationship.

ABSTRACT

Psychotherapy is a comprehensive biological treatment modifying complex underlying cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and regulatory responses in the brain, leading patients with mental illness to a new interpretation of the sense of self and others. Psychotherapy is an art of science integrated with psychology and/or philosophy. Neurological sciences study the neurological basis of cognition, memory, and behavior as well as the impact of neurological damage and disease on these functions, and their treatment. Both psychotherapy and neurological sciences deal with the brain; nevertheless, they continue to stay polarized. Existential phenomenological psychotherapy (EPP) has been in the forefront of meaning-centered counseling for almost a century. The phenomenological approach in psychotherapy originated in the works of Martin Heidegger, Ludwig Binswanger, Medard Boss, and Viktor Frankl, and it has been committed to accounting for the existential possibilities and limitations of one's life. EPP provides philosophically rich interpretations and empowers counseling techniques to assist mentally suffering individuals by finding meaning and purpose to life. The approach has proven to be effective in treating mood and anxiety disorders. This narrative review article demonstrates the development of EPP, the therapeutic methodology, evidence-based accounts of its curative techniques, current understanding of mood and anxiety disorders in neurological sciences, and a possible converging path to translate and integrate meaning-centered psychotherapy and neuroscience, concluding that the EPP may potentially play a synergistic role with the currently prevailing medication-based approaches for the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders.

ABSTRACT

This article aims to uncover the meaning of life and death across the lifespan of the extraordinary person, Viktor E. Frankl (1905-1997). Frankl was purposively sampled due to his international acclaim as an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist, who later became famous as a holocaust survivor and the founder of logotherapy. Through his approach of "healing through meaning," he became the founder of the meaning-centred school of psychotherapy and published many books on existential and humanistic psychology. The study describes the meaning of life and death through two theoretical approaches: the archetypal analysis based on C.G. Jung's and C.S. Pearson's work and a terror management approach based on the melancholic existentialist work of Ernest Becker. The methodology of psychobiography is used to conduct the psycho-historical analysis of the interplay of archetypes and death annihilation anxiety throughout Frankl's lifespan. The article evaluates how archetypes and death anxiety interacts and how they built meaning in different stages of Frankl's lifespan. The theories are discussed and illustrated in the light of Viktor E. Frankl's life.

ABSTRACT

The existential psychiatrist Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) lived an extraordinary life. He witnessed and experienced acts of anti-Semitism, persecution, brutality, physical abuse, malnutrition, and emotional humiliation. Ironically, through these experiences, the loss of dignity and the loss of the lives of his wife, parents and brother, his philosophy of human nature, namely, that the search for meaning is the drive behind human behaviour, was moulded. Frankl formulated the basis of his existential approach to psychological practice before World War II (WWII). However, his experiences in the concentration camps confirmed his view that it is through a search for meaning and purpose in life that individuals can endure hardship and suffering. In a sense, Frank's theory was tested in a dramatic way by the tragedies of his life. Following WWII, Frankl shaped modern psychological thinking by lecturing at more than 200 universities, authoring 40 books published in 50 languages and receiving 29 honorary doctorates. His ideas and experiences related to the search for meaning influenced theorists, practitioners, researchers, and lay people around the world. This study focuses specifically on the period between 1942 and 1945. The aim is to explore Frankl's search for meaning within an unpredictable, life-threatening, and chaotic context through the lens of his concept of noö-dynamics.

ABSTRACT

The unprecedented changes in our society because of COVID-19 and the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) shows that our healthcare system and the medical approach to psychotherapy can no longer meet the mental health needs of society. This paper first described the negative impact of COVID-19 and 4IR on our mental health. Then, following a brief critique of the medical model, this paper proposes that the future of psychotherapy needs to be based on the more inclusive and integrative framework of existential positive psychology (PP 2.0), which emphasizes flourishing through suffering. Finally, the paper emphasizes Viktor Frankl's cure and Wong's integrative meaning therapy. It concludes that integrative meaning therapy represents the future of psychotherapy, because it is situated in the area of interactions of at least three traditions: Clinical psychology, existential psychology, and positive psychology. This integrative model is holistic, recognising humans as bio-psycho-social-spiritual beings and considers several theoretical perspectives in both diagnosis and treatment.

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho é um estudo teórico que objetiva abordar aspectos centrais da Antropologia Filosófica presentes em dois autores existencialistas: SørenKierkegaard e Viktor Frankl. A partir do estudo do que é o homem, apresentamos algumas importantes questões existenciais que, embora desenvolvidas pelos autores supracitados nos séculos XIX e XX, respectivamente, permanecem atuais: o desespero e a busca pelo sentido, liberdade, responsabilidade, possibilidade e necessidade, angústia e vazio existencial. Partimos da pesquisa qualitativa, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, buscando atender ao objetivo proposto. Compreendemos que a dimensão do espírito diferencia o homem dos outros seres. Ambos os autores destacam a esfera espiritual e compreendem o humano em sua integralidade. Conclui-se que Kierkegaard eFrankl, em seus pressupostos, oferecem possibilidade de conhecimento do homem e de questões existenciais relevantes para nossa sociedade permeada pelo desespero e pelo vazio existencial. Assim, as proposições dos autores contribuem especialmente para as ciências humanas


This paper is a theoretical study that aims to approach central aspects of Philosophical Anthropology present in two existentialist authors: Søren Kierkegaard and Viktor Frankl. From the study of what man is, we present some important existential questions that, although developed by these authors in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries respectively, remain current: despair and the search for meaning, freedom, responsibility, possibility and necessity, anguish and existential void. We started from the qualitative research, through a literature review seeking to meet the proposed objective. We understand that the dimension of the spirit differentiates man from other beings. Both authors highlight the spiritual realm and understand the human in its entirety. We conclude that Kierkegaard and Frankl, in their assumptions, offer the possibility of knowledge of man, and of existential questions relevant to our society, which is permeated by despair and existential emptiness. Thus, the authors' propositions contribute especially to the humanities

ABSTRACT

O presente trabalho tem o propósito de expor e analisar o primeiro dos três fundamentos básicos relativos à logoterapia de Viktor Frankl: o problema da liberdade humana. Iniciamos nosso esforço argumentativo por meio da discussão a respeito do significado da categoria "espírito" enquanto conceito antropológico e sua intrínseca relação com o tema da liberdade humana. Num segundo momento, discute-se como essa visão de liberdade se relaciona com aquilo que Frankl entendeu como os três complexos básicos de determinação aos quais o homem está submetido sob a forma dos "destinos" biológico, psicológico e sociológico. Analisamos o argumento afirmativo da liberdade espiritual no contexto de cada um desses domínios.


This paper aims to expose and analyze the first of the three conceptual foundations relating to the logotherapy of Viktor Frankl: the issue of human freedom. The argumentative effort is initiated by the discussion regarding the meaning of the "spirit" category as an anthropological concept and its intrinsic relation to the theme of human freedom. Secondly, it is discussed how this conception of freedom relates to what Frankl conceived as the three basic complexes of determination to which man is subjected under the form of biological, psychological and sociological "destinies". The affirmative argument of spiritual freedom in the context of each of these areas is analyzed.

ABSTRACT

O presente artigo tem o objetivo de analisar o sentido do sofrimento em Logoterapia - psicoterapia do sentido que propõe a compreensão da existência através dos fenômenos tipicamente humanos, especificamente das convergências nas dimensões espiritual e religiosa. Com base no resgate do conceito de vontade de sentido, pretende-se estabelecer tanto uma relação entre os conceitos de pathos, finitude e morte quanto sua articulação com a perspectiva do Homo patiens em Logoterapia; assinalando o lugar da culpa, da doença, da dignidade, da responsabilidade e do sentido nesse contexto. Ademais, considerando a natureza do sofrimento como inerente à constituição humana, a teoria de Viktor Frankl considera a resiliência uma adaptação positiva do homem em resposta às adversidades, as quais possibilitam ao homem superar-se. O texto também pontua as dimensões essencialmente humanas, enfatizando a dinâmica do Homo religiosus e a dimensão noética como fatores fundamentais no processo de identificação, enfrentamento e superação do sofrimento.


This present article has the purpose of analyzing the meaning of suffering in Logotherapy - psychotherapy of meaning that seeks to comprehend existence by typical human phenomenon, specifically through the convergences in the spiritual and religious dimensions. From the rescue of the meaning's will concept, it intends to establish a relation both in the concept of pathos, finitude and death, as well as its articulation with Homo patiens perspective in Logotherapy; distinguishing the place of guilt, disease, dignity, responsibility and meaning in this context. Furthermore, considering the nature of suffering as inherent to the human constitution, the theory of Viktor Frankl considers resilience a positive adaptation of man in response to adversities, which enables him to overcome them. The text also indicates the essentially human dimensions, emphasizing the Homo religiosus dynamics and the noetic dimension as fundamental factors in the process of identifying, confronting and overcoming suffering.

ABSTRACT

Ao longo da história, o câncer sempre foi estigmatizado como sinônimo de morte, e apesar do avanço ocorrido nas últimas décadas, ele ainda traz consigo a sensação de morte iminente. O câncer atualmente é considerado um problema de saúde pública devido a sua alta prevalência. O ser com câncer está inserido nas diversas instituições de saúde. O cuidado ao ser com câncer requer um envolvimento de diversas áreas de conhecimento, por se tratar de uma assistência bastante complexa. Diante do exposto, utilizei como questão de investigação: Qual o sentido do cuidado de enfermagem para o ser com câncer? E como objetivo, compreender qual é o sentido do cuidado de enfermagem na perspectiva do ser com câncer. Trata-se de um estudo fenomenológico que utilizou como referencial a Análise Existencial de Viktor Frankl, que através de uma visão existencialista discorre sobre situações de sofrimento, culpa e morte e como fundamentos os valores vivenciais, criativos e atitudinais. A pesquisa foi realizada em um hospital público da cidade de Salvador, que atende a diversas especialidades e presta serviço, também, na área oncológica a nível ambulatorial e de internação. Os colaboradores da pesquisa foram 12 seres com câncer em tratamento ambulatorial e em unidades de internação do hospital. Eles aceitaram participar do estudo e assinaram o termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido. As entrevistas foram realizadas nos meses de setembro e outubro de 2009 com o uso do gravador no intuito de obter a fidedignidade das informações coletadas. Foram utilizadas duas questões, uma de aproximação: o(a) senhor(a) tem recebido cuidados de enfermagem desde que chegou aqui? E outra norteadora: Qual o significado do cuidado de enfermagem para o(a) senhor(a)? O processo de análise do discurso foi desenvolvido na perspectiva de Martins e Bicudo. Dos relatos dos seres emergiram três grandes categorias: Desvelando os valores que atribuem sentido às vivências de cuidado de enfermagem do ser com câncer, que teve como subcategorias: revelando os valores vivenciais na religiosidade do ser com câncer diante da finitude da vida, revelando os valores atitudinais no agir da equipe de enfermagem e revelando os valores criativos no agir da equipe de enfermagem; Desvelando as vivências do ser com câncer em busca de cuidados, que teve como subcategorias: criando vínculos nas relações de cuidados, comparando as vivências de cuidado e acesso ao tratamento, expressando sentimentos que atribuem sentido ao cuidado de enfermagem; Revelando as vivências do ser com câncer com os cuidados de enfermagem, e como subcategorias: expressando sentimentos que atribuem significado ao cuidado de enfermagem ao cuidado de enfermagem e qualificando o cuidado recebido pela equipe de enfermagem. Compreende-se que o desvelar do sentido do cuidado nas vivências do ser com câncer através da revelação do fenômeno possibilitou apreender os significados de busca pelo cuidado, do cuidado recebido, das vivências de estarem com câncer, de apreender o sentido do cuidado e os valores que atribuem significado, sem exaurir outras possibilidades.(AU)
