Viktor E. Frankl munkásságának pasztorálpszichológiai jelentősége
The Pastoral-Psychological Importance of V. E. Frankl’s Work

Summary/Abstract: The neurologist, psychiatrist and philosopher, Viktor E. Frankl is considered the founder of the third psycho-therapeutic movement of Wien, the existential analysis and logotherapy. He formulated his views in an era in which the widespread anthropological view, determined by the instinct and interweaved by metapsychological presuppositions of Freudian psychoanalysis, Adlerian individual psychology and Jungian analytic psychology, proved to be insufficient to explain and interpret certain processes and manifestations of human life. The anthropology of the above mentioned trends lacked the transcendental dimension. Amidst the dominant mechanistic psychological constructions of his time, Frankl succeeds in reclaiming the validity of a spiritual existence in humans. As a result, his psychological interpretation and spiritual counselling open new dimensions in the area of psychotherapy.
