Supervison Overview – What to expect in these two semesters?
A semester of supervision comprises five group meetings, each lasting four working hours. The supervision for the online course will also take place online, with dates being coordinated with the respective group.
During these sessions, participants present their supervision examples for discussion.
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.

How do I find a supervision topic?
How can I find a supervision topic? For those working in therapy or counseling, it’s relatively straightforward as they encounter numerous themes in their daily professional lives. However, we also welcome any questions or issues arising from everyday life, whether in business, work, school, community, clubs, or elsewhere.
You can uncover topics by reading newspapers and encountering local human dramas, conflict situations, or exemplary actions. For instance, a Greek teacher once delved into myths and discovered timeless human issues.
You can also explore the life stories of individuals portrayed in film or literature.
Additionally, you can work on your own logotherapy project within a meditation circle or community group.
You have the option to present a successful or unsuccessful case study, a planned future intervention, or a logotherapeutic commentary on a topic.
The essence of all these topics should center around applied logotherapy, integrating theoretical knowledge with real-life situations or fundamental human questions. With a solid theoretical background, you should demonstrate your ability to connect your knowledge with practical inquiries.
How does it work in practice?
At least one week before the supervision session, you’ll submit your topic. You’ll introduce the theme you’ve been working on and illustrate how you’ve connected it with elements of logotherapy.
Please include two short or longer sections for this purpose, and feel free in their design. It’s crucial that you provide enough foundational information so that our meeting can immediately dive into a meaningful discussion based on your input.
Two main points should be prepared:
- A diagnostic examination of the topic, perhaps including the history of a mental illness or an analysis of the chosen issue. It’s essential to clarify: What precisely is the problem requiring a solution?
- The next step is: How can the problem be improved or solved using elements/methods/focus/thought from logotherapy? What assistance can be offered, and what solutions are suggested?
These two main points should be present in all materials submitted for group supervision, as they demonstrate precisely how Logo theory intersects with real-life situations.
As you open your „logotherapeutically trained eyes,“ you’ll soon realize that the world is brimming with topics where we can contribute from a logotherapy perspective. You’ll also encounter a plethora of human destinies and life stories to which logotherapy offers helpful, healing insights.

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!

Logotherapy is explained in the teaching videos in a very comprehensible and precise manner in understandable words. Miss Dr. Schönfeld's practical examples are lively and extremely helpful for understanding.
Jeanette Onusseit
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.
