Self-exploration in logotherapy
Engaging in self-exploration truly complements logotherapy training. This doesn't have to be seen as contradictory.

Frankl never intended for introspection or self-centeredness. He rejected the common practice of prolonged self-focus prevalent during his time.
Elisabeth Lukas developed a unique form of logotherapeutic self-exploration, distinct from conventional methods. It closely aligns with the theoretical foundations of logotherapy endorsed by Frankl himself. Compared to traditional self-exploration, Lukas‘ approach introduces three entirely new concepts:
- It begins with exploring life before and after our own, integrating both into biographical work.
- It considers not only what has happened to me but also what has happened because of me, emphasizing human responsibility.
- It doesn’t solely dwell on the negative but also highlights the positive, particularly the meaningful aspects.
This represents a significant departure from traditional self-exploration.
Only certified logotherapists are admitted to this guided biographical work. They must be psychologically stable and well-versed in logotherapeutic thinking.
The course comprises 10 group sessions, each lasting 4 hours, spread over one year.

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.

Viktor E. Frankl's original logotherapy is now carried out without any time constraints and at the highest level according to the curriculum of Prof. h. c. Dr. phil. habil. Elisabeth Lukas submitted. Miss Dr. Schönfeld and Alexander Vesely, Viktor E. Frankl's grandson, offer the unique opportunity to access the original sources of logotherapy through their video course. Your professional competence is reflected not only in the excellent knowledge of logotherapy in theory, but also in the bridges to therapeutic practice.”

If you can't come to Bamberg, we highly recommend the new online course. In the usual high quality and very easy to understand, Dr. Schönfeld offers the original logotherapy according to Viktor Frankl and therefore offers a good opportunity to learn logotherapy from home.
