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.

The videos have wonderful didactic clarity. But they require concentrated listening. More difficult learning content offers the opportunity to watch it repeatedly as well as to pause the lecture for deeper contemplation. The presentation by Dr. Schönfeld takes place in an approachable liveliness. There's no other way to say it. The videos are a substantial tool if you want to delve deeper into logotherapy.

In my opinion, the semester is well structured with 40 chapters. Since I had my own recordings, I could see how little the online format differs from the face-to-face event. Theoretical explanations are also illustrated here with examples, and personal encounters and impressions are reflected, making what is presented seem lively. The only thing that is no longer necessary is to ask personal questions for understanding. However, this is compensated by the possibility of interrupting passages and listening to what happened before again. Being able to integrate the “lecture time” into my everyday life makes it easy for me to pursue further training or qualifications alongside my job and family.
