意味와 相談 = Meaning and Counseling

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There have been various attempts to develop the counseling in Korea. However, the logotherapeutic approach seems not to get its appropriate attention. Therefore,the attempt is made to review the theory and practice of logotherapeutic approach as formulated by Frankel in brief. Materialistic prosperity in the present age brings the human being to the problems of meaning of life itself. One of the psychological problems coming from this seems not to be solved by the current psycho-therapeutic approach such as psychoanalytic or behavioral approach.
Logotherapy starts from three kinds of philosophical assumption such as freedom of will, will to meaning and meaning of life.
The main techniques mainly used, is paradoxical intention. This technique consists in the transcending his own problems as if they viewed from objective position. Sense of humor and religion have certain similarity to the paradoxical intention.
However, this approach also has its problematic aspects. A few of them can be mainly pointed out as follows:
First, the extreme case of life situation such as death or guilty feeling is too much streesed that the general population may find it to burdensome.
Second, Such terms as responsibility and decision making may bring too much weight for patient to bear.
Third, the view point of the logotherapy is not that of the deterministic but that of free will. So that it has some aspects to be incompatible with current, deterministic approach of modern pschology.
But aspects here-to-fore neglected in counseling are again emphasized by Logotheropy. So that the neglected aspect of counseling should receive its appropriate attention, even if in complementary way.
