Logotherapy and Recovery: Who is Viktor Frankle and how can he help me?
We live in an age when the meaning and purpose of life are often less clear than ever before. An age when we’re asking questions of doctors we should be asking priests - but fewer priests seem able to provide meaningful answers to today’s spiritual seekers. Enter Viktor Frankl.
Frankl was a Jewish psychiatrist whose pioneering work
known as Logotherapy has helped millions of suffering men and women begin asking the right questions of life and finding answers that satisfy their souls.
In this series, we’ll explore Frankl’s book The Doctor and the Soul. Father Bill’s guest and tour guide is Tom Lavin, a therapist, teacher, and friend who has studied Frankl’s work for many years and helped many addicts and alcoholics find new or renewed meaning and purpose in their recovery. This episode introduces Viktor Frankl and his work. It explores how Logotherapy can shed new light on the path to overcome addiction.
Show Notes:
Tom Lavin is a Psychotherapist, Marriage
and Family Therapist (MFT) and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor. He’s served for many years as Adjunct Faculty, University of Nevada School of Medicine, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Tom’s website and newsletter: www.easeap.com/

Tom recommended this as a good biography of
Frankl’s life:
