Abstract

Logoterapi, bazı psikolojik rahatsızlıkların ve
varoluşsal boşluğun çözülmesini hedefleyen ve anlam arayışına dayanan terapötik
bir yaklaşımdır. Viktor Frankl tarafından İkinci Dünya Savaşı ve takip eden
yıllarda ortaya konulan logoterapi; hümanistik bir yaklaşımı içine almaktadır.
Bu çalışmanın temel amacı Viktor Frankl tarafından geliştirilen logoterapinin;
tarihsel gelişimini, güçlü ve zayıf yönlerini, logoterapideki bazı temel
kavramları ortaya koymaktır. Buna ek olarak, mevcut çalışma ile logoterapinin
dinle olan bağlantısının ve ilişkisinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır.
Mevcut çalışma, bir derleme çalışması olup literatür taramasına dayalı olarak
yürütülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda, logoterapinin tarihsel gelişim içinde farklı
araştırmacılar tarafından nasıl ele alındığı ortaya konulmuştur. Çalışmanın
Türkiye’de logoterapi ile ilgili farkındalığın artırılmasına katkı sağlayacağı
düşünülmektedir.
