Abstract

Üçüncü Viyana Psikoterapi Düşünce Okulu olarak
ortaya çıkan logoterapi, insanoğlunun hayattaki anlam ve amaç arayışına
odaklanan, ve psikolojik danışmada terapötik süreci insanlaştıran bir yardım
yöntemidir. Ruhun varoluşsal boşluk yaşadığında psikolojik rahatsızlıkların
meydana geldiğini ifade eden logoterapi, hayatın varoluşsal analizine vurgu
yapan bir özelliğe sahiptir. Bu noktada literatür taraması niteliğinde olan bu
çalışmanın temel amacı, logoterapiyi derinlemesine inceleyerek tanıtmak ve
biricik yönlerini etkili bir şekilde sunmaktır. Logoterapinin felsefi
dayanıklarının, logoterapistlerin rollerinin ve uygulanan tekniklerin neler
olduğu hakkında bilgi veren bu çalışma, logoterapinin uygulamalı alandaki diğer
yaklaşımlardan farkını ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca logoterapinin hayatı anlamlı
kılma unsurları olarak neleri gördüğü ilgili çalışmada sunulmuştur. Sonuç
olarak bu çalışmada logoterapinin, insanın ruhunun kısıtlanamaz özgürlüğüne
vurgu yaptığı ve yaşamını değiştirme şansının kendi elinde olduğunu söylediği özetlenmiştir.

Logotherapy in Counseling

Abstract

Logotherapy, revealed as the 3^rd
Vienna Psychotherapy School of Thought, is a helping method which emphasizes
the human beings’ search for meaning and purpose in life, and humanizes the
therapeutic process in counseling. Logotherapy, stating that psychological
disorders derive from existential vacuum of the spirit,  focuses on existential analysis of life. In
this regard, the basic purpose of the study, considered as a literature review,
was to introduce logotherapy by examining it profoundly, and to present its
unique aspects effectively. The study, which gave the information about the
phiolosophical roots of logotherapy, the roles of logotherapists, and its
application techniques, demonstrated the differences between logotherapy and
the other approaches in counseling. In addition, the study showed the
elements/ways of making life meaningful in logotherapy. Thus, it was summarized
that logotherapy highlights unrestricted freedom of human spirit and states
that the chance of changing life is in the hands of human beings.
