LOGOTERAPİ VE DİN

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.
