LOGOTERAPİ: TEMEL BİLEŞENLERİ VE TERAPİ TEKNİKLERİ

Abstract

Bu makalede, varoluşçu psikiyatri ve hümanistik psikoloji çatısı altında ele alınan ve Victor Frankl tarafından geliştirilen logoterapinin temel bileşenleri ve terapi teknikleri ele alınmaktadır. Günümüz terapi yöntemlerinin ve kuramsal yaklaşımların, bazı gruplarla çalışmada yetersiz kalması durumundan hareketle geliştirilen ve özellikle varoluşsal sorun ve ihtiyaçların çözümlenmesinde önemli adımlar atılmasını sağlayan logoterapi, sosyal hizmet bilim ve mesleği açısından da önemli bir yaklaşımdır. Felsefi önermeleri ve sorgulamaları ile geniş bir perspektife sahip olan logoterapinin, kimi bileşenlerine ve terapötik tekniklerine yer verilen bu makalenin, insanın çeşitlenen ve karmaşıklaşan sorunlarının çözümünde bütüncül bir yaklaşım sunan sosyal hizmet uygulamaları açısından temel düzeyde bir kaynak olduğu söylenebilir.
