LogoTalk Radio #83: An Operational Definition of Meaning in Health Treatment with Dr. Batya Yaniger

Direct download link:  http://marshallhlewis.net/LogoTalk/LT83.mp3

On Monday, March 9, 2015, Dr. Batya Yaniger gave the following presentation to the First International Congress of Viktor Frankl's Logotherapy in Israel, held in Haifa. LogoTalk Radio thanks Dr. Yaniger for giving her kind permission to share the address with you.

Batya Yaniger is a teacher, supervisor, and private practitioner of logotherapy, with over 30 years experience in innovative Torah teaching. She earned her BS in social work from Loyola University and her MS and PsyD degrees in psychology from the California Coast University. She is a Diplomate Clinician in Logotherapy as well as a co-trainer of the logotherapy training program in Israel, recognized for certification by The Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy in the USA.

In the presentation that follows, Dr. Yaniger suggests an operational definition of meaning that identifies four processes at work in the search for meaning. These are (1) the ability to grasp and evaluate meaning, (2) the capacity to become aware of deeply felt longings and higher motivations, (3) the ability to envision potential meaningfulness, and (4) the ability to become one's authentic self by answering the questions life poses.

On Monday, March 9, 2015, Dr. Pninit Russo-Netzer gave the following presentation to the First International Congress of Viktor Frankl's Logotherapy in Israel, held in Haifa. LogoTalk Radio thanks Dr. Russo-Netzer for giving her kind permission to share the address with you.

Pninit Russo-Netzer, Ph.D. is a researcher at the department of Counseling and Human Development, University of Haifa and the Maytiv Center for Research and Practice in Positive Psychology, School of Psychology, Interdisciplinary Center, Israel. Her main research and practice interests focus on meaning in life, positive psychology, spirituality and spiritual development, positive change and growth. Dr. Russo-Netzer is a practitioner of positive psychology, a diplomate clinician in logotherapy, and the chair of the Logotherapy Association in Israel. She serves as academic advisor and consultant to both academic and non-academic institutions, develops training programs and curricula for various organizations and is the co-editor of Meaning in Positive and Existential Psychology (2014), Clinical Perspectives in Meaning (2016) and Search for Meaning in the Israeli Scene (forthcoming).

Abstract of Sowing the Seeds: Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century

In the past, society's sense of support and coherence was achieved through processes such as continuity, socialization, and transmission of traditional patterns (Buxant, Saroglou & Tesser, 2010); however, nowadays these processes are challenged by the rise of globalization and the progression towards a more individualistic and pluralistic world. Forces and processes such as industrialization, urbanization, and the decline of the moral authority of religion (Cushman, 1990) provide a context for disengagement, deconstruction of values, and loss of meaning (Moules, 2000). Existential vacuum leaves Western industrialized societies hungry for meaning more than ever (Frankl, 1969). This state of affairs is even more complex and critical in the development of children and youth. Addressing "ultimate concerns" of meaning and purpose in these critical periods through education may facilitate the development of a healthy sense of meaning, responsibility, and shaping a purposeful path, a meaningful reason for being.

This presentation will focus on Frankl's meaning triangle (pathways to meaning) and explore its different manifestations in theory (i.e., by highlighting potential corresponding concepts within the field of positive psychology), application (i.e., by presenting insights gained from logotherapy workshops conducted in higher education), and research (i.e, by presenting an exploratory attempt to develop children's meaning questionnaire based on Frankl's meaning triangle).

LogoTalk Radio #80: Enacted Demonstration of Logotherapy with Dr. Michael Winters and Dr. Marshall H. Lewis

Direct download link:  http://www.marshallhlewis.net/LogoTalk/LT80.mp3

Dr. Michael Winters and Dr. Marshall H. Lewis enacted a demonstration of logotherapy at World Congress XIX in Dallas, Texas in 2013.

Michael Winters earned a masters degree in counseling from Purdue University in 1987 and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Memphis in 1991. He is a licensed psychologist in Texas. He received the Diplomate in Logotherapy credential in 2005 and has been appointed both to the Faculty and to the Board of the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy.

Dr. Winters maintains a private practice in Houston, Texas. He specializes in single's issues, helping couples discover meaning in their relationships, psychological issues of weight management, and grief counseling. He provides workshops and lectures on the search for meaning, love, marriage, happiness, change and transition, and creativity and risk. He also conducts research on meaning in relationships.

He has published professional papers and book chapters and presented papers at national and international professional conferences. He has taught numerous courses at Purdue University, University of Memphis, Rice University, the University of Houston, and Our Lady of the Lake, Houston. Dr. Winters is past-president of the Houston Psychological Association.

Marshall H. Lewis earned a masters degree in clinical psychology from Marshall University in 1986 and a Ph.D. in Jewish-Christian Studies from the Chicago Theological Seminary in 2013.

This demonstration includes a fictional portrayal of a United States Iraqi war veteran. It is no secret that the transition from combat back to civilian life is not easy. The suicide rate among veterans is twice that of the civilian population. More veterans have died by suicide than were killed in the Iraq war. The suicide rate of active duty military is about the same as the number killed by enemy action.

The Tango Yankee Project was started by Daniel Shaw to support the fight against veteran suicide. As the project grows, proceeds from the sale of Tango Yankee chips will be donated to vetted charities that work to prevent veteran suicide. The Tango Yankee chip is a way to say "Thank You" – or TY, "Tango Yankee," in the NATO radio phonetic alphabet. It can be given to a veteran to say "Thank You," and you can ask him or her to pass it on. The back of the chip states "What you do in this life matters."

Daniel Shaw recently retired from active service with the United States Marine Corps where he served as an Infantry Unit Leader and held several weapons and tactics instructor positions. He is producer and co-host of the podcast Gunfighter Cast through which he provides informative defense based content. Since retiring from active duty, Mr. Shaw continues his career as Thunderbird Tactical's Chief Instructor.

Mr. Shaw has kindly provided a discount on Tango Yankee chips for LogoTalk Radio listeners. You can order the chips at http://tangoyankeechip.com and use the code "logotalk10" at check-out. A simple thank you – a Tango Yankee – can go a long way.
