The paper will begin with a critical overview of Frankl’s Logotherapy theory and the views of supporters and opponents of his theory will be explained. This essay will examine how Logotherapy, and specifically the meaning that is sought through Logotherapy, is related to hope in general but more specifically, this paper will examine how Logotherapy is related to theological hope. It is often referred to as the “Third Viennese School” (after Siegmund Freud's psychoanalysis and Alfred Adler's individual psychology), and is often grouped as a form of the more general type of therapy known as cognitive therapy. Logotherapy is a form of psychotherapy proposed by the Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and holocaust-survivor, Dr Viktor E. Keywords Frankl – Heidegger - logotherapy – Daseinsanalyse – hermeneutics – phenomenology – existential analysis – freedom Both Frankl, through his logotherapy, and Heidegger, with his hermeneutical phenomenology, give to psychiatry and psychology a radical contribution in interpreting human being, its finitude, its sufferance and its radical freedom. Suffering and freedom are reciprocally related because of the original constitution of human being: human being is essentially in need of help because he is always in danger of losing himself and of not coming to grips with himself. AFFECTUS QUI PASSIO EST DESINIT ESSE FREEStarting from the common assumption that in suffering our capacity to be free is reduced and our freedom is always threatened, both Frankl and Heidegger developed different approaches to signify sufferance, to give meanings to our life, even when terrible circumstances happen. I will underline a proximity between Frankl’s approach to sufferance and Heidegger’s one, in the framework of existential analysis and phenomenology. Abstract The aim of this paper is to show the relationship between Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy and Martin Heidegger Daseinsanalyse.
