Book excerpt: This major new work allows readers access not only to the contributions of Viktor Frankl but to the grand extrapolations that have been made by those who have learned from him. Like a force of nature, the Logotherapy paradigm shows us the vision in its roots and the core in its branches. The editors have divided the chapters into four sections: Theoretical and Philosophical Perspectives, Expanding Logotherapy in Theory and Practice, Principles of Treatment and New Applications, and Research in Logotherapy, and an international panel of 30 contributors has filled them with rich, multifaceted perspectives.
