psychology. Logotherapy, developed due to inadequacy of contemporary therapy
methods and theoretical approaches to work with some groups,is an important
approach as it provides significant steps in solving the existential problems
and needs. In this regard, it is also an important approach for social work. It
can be said that this paper is an introductory source for social work since it
includes some components and therapeutic techniquesof Logotherapy which has a
broad perspective of the philosophical propositions and queries

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.
