From the works of Viktor Frankl, the Viennese psychiatrist and psychologist, this paper describes what are these neuroses, called noogenics, neuroses that have their origin in the dimension of the human existence. The concept of noogenic neurosis goes beyond a psychophysical condition, therefore, to the author, the human being is essentially spiritual. This spiritual core, around which are grouped the psychic and physical, is responsible for the moral conscience, love and art. As the modern man deviates himself away from his religion, he has increased the existential emptiness, because he can not find a reason for his actions, which can lead to a lack of meaning, characteristic of noogenic neurosis. Thus, the man would get ill in his spirituality. For this type of illness, Frankl has created the Logotherapy. A specific type of such spiritual disease is the mass neurosis, which is the highlight of this research. For the author, God, who is the ultimate meaning of human existence, dialogues with the man when he talks to his own moral conscience, which is transcendent. Using the concepts of God and man given by the author, this research addresses the relationship between human being and the transcendence and how it would, through this relationship, and a subsequent meeting with the meaning, the cure of the mentioned neuroses / Este trabalho aborda a relação entre Deus e cura das neuroses da falta de sentido. A partir das obras de Viktor Frankl, psiquiatra e psicólogo vienense, descreve quais seriam essas neuroses, denominadas noogênicas, neuroses que têm sua origem na dimensão da existência humana. O conceito de neurose noogênica vai além de uma patologia psicofísica, pois, para o autor, o homem é essencialmente espiritual. Esse núcleo espiritual, em torno do qual se agrupam o psíquico e o físico, é o responsável pela consciência moral, pelo amor e pela arte. O homem moderno, ao se afastar de sua religiosidade aumentou o vazio existencial, pois não encontra o porquê de suas ações, o que pode gerar uma ausência de sentido, característica da neurose noogênica. Assim, o homem adoeceria em sua espiritualidade. Para esse tipo de adoecimento, Frankl criou a Logoterapia. Um tipo específico de tal doença espiritual é a neurose de massa, que tem um destaque nesta pesquisa. Para o autor, Deus, que é o sentido último da existência humana, dialoga com o homem quando este conversa com sua própria consciência moral, que é transcendente. Utilizando os conceitos de Deus e de homem dados pelo autor, esta pesquisa aborda a relação entre o ser humano e a transcendência e como se daria, através dessa relação, e de um conseqüente encontro de sentido, a cura das neuroses citadas

[pt] A presente dissertação tem como objetivo interrogar sobre o problema do sofrimento e do sentido de vida no mundo contemporâneo, partindo de uma análise que contextualiza a compreensão e a vivência do sofrimento na atual sociedade. Estudaremos o livro Homo Patiens, do psiquiatra vienense Viktor E. Frankl, e a Carta Apostólica Salvifici Doloris, do Papa João Paulo II, buscando, através dos pontos em comum no pensamento dos dois autores, realizar um diálogo entre fé e cultura. Diante das propostas que a sociedade contemporânea apresenta para suprimir o sofrimento e que, muitas vezes, resulta em vazio existencial, desprezo dos mais fracos e em distanciamento de Deus, buscaremos respostas mais adequadas sobre o sentido do sofrimento, sobre o valor da pessoa humana e sobre a relação entre Deus e o sofrimento humano. / [en] This dissertation aims to examine the problem of suffering and the meaning of life in the contemporary world, starting from an analysis that contextualizes the understanding and the experience of suffering in the present society. We will study the book Homo Patiens, by the viennese psychiatrist Viktor E. Frankl, and the Apostolic Letter Salvifici Doloris by Pope John Paul II, seeking a dialogue between faith and culture, through the common points in the authors thoughts. In the face of contemporary society s proposals to suppress suffering, which often results in an existential emptiness, contempt for the weakest and distancing from God, we will search for more adequate answers about the meaning of suffering, about the value of the human person and about the relation between God and the human suffering.

Following the heuristic research method of inquiry and using in‐depth interviews as the vehicle of investigation with five gay South African men; ‐who have either attained a high standing in gay society or have achieved a high level of functioning ‐ the real life experiences of these men were investigated. The premise was that their experiences would be similar in terms of rejection and non‐acceptance in a prevailing homophonic South African society. The core investigation was to plot the spiritual development they underwent in order to attain the high level functioning evident in their social standing and position. The theoretical backdrop, against which the research was investigated and the findings described, was Viktor Frankl’s theory of Logotherapy, with specific emphasis on his descriptions of the avenues to meaning in human existence. Historical perspectives on gay history and legal breakthroughs were provided to further illuminate the real life experiences of gay men. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)

Este artigo teve como objetivo geral compreender a concepção do humano na perspectiva de Viktor Frankl. Os objetivos específicos foram estudar os fundamentos filosóficos e antropológicos do seu pensamento sobre o homem; pesquisar os significados do seu Experimentum Crucis; e, ainda, elucidar a sua Ontologia Dimensional. O estudo optou pela metodologia qualitativa na perspectiva fenomenológica existencial, através de pesquisa bibliográfica realizada a partir de obras selecionadas pela concernência ao tema, na literatura do autor e de alguns de seus principais intérpretes. Lançou-se mão do método analítico de Critelli para a compreensão do Experimentum Crucis frankliano. As conclusões revelaram elementos filosóficos agostinianos e tomísticos na concepção frankliana de plenitude humana como autotranscendência, assim como mostra fortes influências da axiologia de Max Scheler e da ontologia fundamental de Martin Heidegger. Contudo, apesar da influência de uma gama de autores com perspectivas epistemológicas diversas, este estudo revela a originalidade e a unidade interna do pensamento de Viktor Frankl sobre o humano

The main aim of the thesis is to answer the question whether rock climbing, as a sport leisure time activity, can offer values substantial for life. The fundamental chapter, which is focused on rock climbing values, consists of two parts. The first theoretical part presents a few examples of values that are important for rock climbing. The practical part is based on a survey carried out among rock climbers. Both parts come to the conclusion that rock climbing is inspiring for rock-climbers as well as non-climbers. However, it is the courage to take responsibility for life that is essential for it to be fully-fledged, and only for such a person is rock climbing an inspiring activity.

This work is about the way we understand the concept of meaning of life. We particularly dwell upon existential analysis of American psychologist Irvin Yalom. We focus on his work as opposition to pessimism and nihilistic moods in nowadays society. In the other part of this work we have described basic concepts connected with the topic meaning of life and philosophical context with emphasis on Fridrich Nietszche's and Albert Camus's work and psychology of Viktor Frankl. The main goal of this work is to find if there is a way out in Yalom's existential analysis in confrontation with postmodern nihilism and feeling of meaningless of human life.

In particular, the aims were to study the anthropological and philosophical foundations of his thinking about the man, research the meaning of his Experimentum Crucis, and also clarify his Dimensional Ontology. The study used a qualitative methodology in existential phenomenological perspective, involving bibliographical research into those writings of Frankl and some of his principal interpreters which are relevant to the theme. The Critelli s analytical method was employed in seeking to understand Frankl s Experimentum Crucis. Conclusions reveal Augustinian and Thomist philosophical elements in Viktor Frankl's conception of "human fulfillment as self-transcendence, as well as shows strong influences of Max Scheler's axiology and Martin Heidegger's fundamental ontology. However, despite the influence of a range of authors with diverse epistemological perspectives, this study reveals the originality and internal unity of Frankl s thought about human / Este artigo teve como objetivo geral compreender a concepção do humano na perspectiva de Viktor Frankl.

Disertační práce se zabývá problematikou seniorského věku a snaží se poukázat na některé základní přístupy v souvislosti s porozuměním této velmi heterogenní a diverzifikované skupině, těžiště přitom klade do vzájemného vyváženého poměru speciálně pedagogických přístupů a teologicko-pastorální impulsů. Toto spojení však vyžaduje hledání společného dialogu mezi vědami a umožňuje tak najít kvalitní základnu pro porozumění seniorům v jejich integrovaném životním příběhu a zasadit se tak o kvalitní, ale i efektivní péči navazující na poznatky humanitních, medicínských i společenských věd. Zvolená metoda vyžaduje multidisciplinární přístup a vzdělání, které přesahuje hranice vymezení oborů. Práce využívá jako zdroj kvalitativní výzkum, který byl zaměřen na širokou oblast kvality života seniorů a zohledňoval též spirituální otázky. Vzhledem k volbě metody je daný text ukotven ve výpovědích klientů, čímž získává pestrost, autenticitu a praktické ukázky příběhů, zkušeností a otázek. Práce je členěna do pěti kapitol, které postupně kopírují jednotlivé tematické oblasti. Vychází z teoretických a praktických přístupů, přičemž vše propojuje s poznatky získaný během terénního výzkumu. Zohledňuje filozofický, teologický, axiologický, speciálně pedagogický a etický pohled na danou problematiku a hledá srozumitelné...

N. Riethof - Burnout syndrome in Health Care Professionals ABSTRACT Burnout syndrome is a state of total exhaustion related to work condi- tions and prolonged stress. While initial phases of burnout resemble stress symptoms, final phases of burnout are characterized by feelings of hopelessness, loss of meaning and desperation that have similar qual- ities as depression as well as existential vacuum described by Frankl in his logotherapy. In addition, the burnout syndrome involves stages in which people detach from their emotions and feelings as a defense mechanism against stress and have decreased ability to experience their own feelings and emotional states. Burnout usually begins with feelings of enthusiasm and idealized visualizations and it is in contrast with sub- sequent disillusionment, disappointment experienced later. After decades of burnout research, there is still a need for better def- inition of this condition including more precise diagnostic criteria and internationally recognized measurement tools, especially within health care system where the risks of unrecognized and untreated burnout are high. This study is focused on examination of potential causes of burn- out and relationships of burnout symptoms with certain personality traits, defense mechanisms and coping reactions including...
