5 semester course
You can start the Online-Logotherapy course at any of the five semesters. At the beginning of the semester you will receive a code that allows you to watch the training of the respective semester in increments.
You will receive access to the first 10 videos at the beginning of the month. In the middle of the month you will be invited to a live-webinar to deepen and discuss what you have already learned from the videos. At the beginning of the following month, you will get access to the next 10 -12 videos. This way you can study your way through the semester in challenging but manageable increments.
We will also facilitate networking among students so that you can engage in constructive and productive exchanges with other participants at all times.
Study of literature
Additionally to the instructional videos, further literature study is an essential part of this training. Over the course of five semesters, we encourage all students to read the main works of Viktor E. Frankl. The course serves to open up and facilitate understanding of Frnakl´s complex work in all its aspects by way of concrete case examples and lively discussions. Another essential book is the “Textbook of Logotherapy” by Elisabeth Lukas, as well as any other of her books which illustrate and deepen the respective subject matters.
Live webinars
Once a month we invite you to join a two hour video conference with Dr. Heidi Schönfeld and Alexander Vesely-Frankl, in which you can share any questions or thoughts you have in order to deepen your understanding of logotherapy. Together we will reflect about the relevance of what has been learned in the context of personal, professional and general topics and world problems. We will also look at one or more sample exam questions for the purpose of practicing. This way you can see for yourself which areas you have already mastered and which may need further attention.
End-of-semester exam
Exams will be held online at the end of each semester. They will be short oral exams consisting of a few questions per student. A webcam is required in order to be able to participate. Dates and timeslots will be assigned individually.
For guest students, no exam is required.
After 6 months, your access to the videos of the current semester expires. You are welcome to sign up for the next semester.

Constanze Ochs
Psychological psychotherapist
The online academy for logotherapy offers the great opportunity to watch the various online videos of the further training - regardless of time and location, as well as repeatedly - which is an enormous support in internalizing the logotherapy content. Frankl impresses with his intellectual depth, his dignified view of humanity, as well as his suggestions for the “answer” to the task nature of life: “How can people freely - and at the same time take a responsible position - take a position on fateful circumstances?” “What are possibilities that are worth realizing of the facultative ego?”; “How can a healthy arc be drawn between is and should with a view to a fulfilled life?”; “How can a person still say yes to life?” At a time when existential questions of all kinds permeate society, the “answers” of logotherapy prove their timeless validity. As a participant in the further training, I particularly appreciate the structured nature of Dr. Schönfeld, her clear presentation style, her loyalty to original logotherapy and the well-thought-out literature recommendations on the topic discussed. Thank you very much!

Entrepreneur
The online logotherapy course based on the teachings of Victor E. Frankl enriches my everyday life and is available online at any time and from anywhere. It is an indispensable support for my personal development as well as for my everyday professional life as an entrepreneur, in the management of employees and the people-oriented orientation of the company. Through Ms. Dr. Schönfeld's catchy and very understandable communication of the content, connections and many examples of the practical application and implementation of logotherapy. The online format allows me to engage with the current content as often as I want. Again and again, one or two lessons bring me back down to earth and realities and I immediately succeed in implementing the understood facts when answering life's questions when it is necessary. The online course also makes it really easy to stick with it and not lose track of what's important in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In my opinion, of all possible decisions, dealing with logotherapy is always the right one.
Thank you for the offer and the possibilities!

Creative therapist
For me, logotherapy contains such a dignified image of humanity, which touches me and has already made me grow. I can also integrate logotherapy wonderfully into my psychotherapeutic work, so that patients always give warm feedback. The online course offers me a certain amount of freedom to decide at what point I would like to be inspired by Ms. Schönfeld about logotherapy again.
