Product Description
Viktor Frankl founded the therapeutic system of logotherapy, which views man as a spiritual being rather than simply as a biological construct. He left a rich legacy of theory and insights especially relevant to the search for meaning in later life. The tenets of logotherapy provide many clues and approaches to what an ever-increasing body of evidence suggests regarding the crisis of aging as a crisis of meaning. Frankl's incightful work increased man's understanding of the spiritual dimension of humanity and the dignity and worth of every person in the face of what he called the tragic trial of human existence: pain, guilt, and death. Viktor Frankl's Contribution to Spirituality and Aging represents varying professional perspectives on the application of Frankl's logotherapy for ministry with older adults. Chapters are written by authors representing diverse professional backgrounds in medicine, pastoral theology, the behavioral sciences, and pastoral ministry. Each chapter addresses issues such as death and dying, dementia and depression, and the spiritual meaning of aging, and several chapters address Dr. Frankl's conception of the nature of humanity.
