Logotherapeutic conversation practice
The core focus of this week's discussion is training in the Socratic questioning method, which is a fundamental aspect of applying logotherapy in practice.

Logotherapy Practice Module
In the center of a large circle, two chairs face each other, with one for the simulated patient and the other for the simulated therapist. This setup provides a practice arena where making mistakes is not only allowed but encouraged – because it’s through errors that we learn best.
Together, we engage in role-playing therapy conversations for various scenarios. One of the 5 days is specifically dedicated to practicing couples therapy following Lukas‘ method.
Granted, it can be daunting initially to take a seat in those chairs – but very quickly, any nervousness fades away, and the group becomes a familiar and supportive circle, collectively exploring logotherapy in practical terms.
Our practical units, supervision and conversation training, are available only after successfully completing at least four semesters of foundational theoretical studies. This ensures that students have the necessary theoretical foundation to fully benefit from hands-on practice.

Thanks to the new online offer, participation in logotherapy training will be opened up and made possible for a further group of interested people for whom this was previously not an option for private, personal or professional reasons.
Because the online teaching units can be repeated at your own pace and at any time and as often as necessary, participants have the opportunity to develop an individual, tailor-made learning rhythm.
The logotherapy training content is interesting, exciting and profitable, although also extensive and demanding. Due to the many good practical examples, the theoretical part is understandable and easy to implement.

Logotherapy is a very enriching philosophy of life, close to people and friendly to people. In this lecture cycle you will receive a really well-founded explanation of the basics, completely unadulterated and still very close to Viktor Frankl's texts. You can build on this foundation wonderfully, enrich it with your own thinking, life and work and incorporate it into all areas of your life, private and professional. It's worth investing the time, you'll be rewarded richly.
Thank you for all your dedication and effort, Dr. Schönfeld!

I literally soaked up the videos. Viktor Frankl was a genius and is a great role model for me! Dr. Schönfeld explained it well and supported it with very instructive and clear cases from patients from her practice or from Elisabeth Lukas.
