| Summary: | As a response to the deficiencies he finds in the psychoanalytic view of man, Frankl proposes an existential analysis focusing on the spiritual dimension in man — a spiritual dimension which he describes in terms of freedom, responsibility, and will-to-meaning.

While the practice of logotherapy, which is predicated on the existential analysis, is closely correlated with religion, it does not specifically engage the religious dimension — perhaps because it puts this dimension outside the pale of human experience. |
