Summary
Viktor Frankl: The God of the Subconscious: Psychotherapy and Religion
Logotherapy is a psychotherapy course, but also a practical art of finding and strengthening the meaning of life. It is based on the belief that human beings, beyond the need for pleasure or power, are primarily beings shaped by the search for meaning as a purpose and the most valuable degree of self-realization. This skill was developed after one of the most terrifying chapters in human history, a time that both represented a breakthrough from the horrors of experience, but also foreshadowed many specific contemporary problems that human beings face and strive to overcome. That is why the works of Viktor E. Frankl, a prominent Viennese psychiatrist and neurologist, are indispensable content for entering into perhaps the most important quest in life.
In "The God of the Subconscious", Frankl varies the known basics of logotherapy, relying on the idea of existential analysis that can and should awaken a sense of meaning as the highest and most essential human fulfillment. "The God of the Subconscious" is simultaneously a work that calls for self-examination of the question of conscience and religiosity, suggesting one possible approach to the spiritual subconscious.
