Logotherapy is the powerful psychospiritual wellness aspect of existential psychology that was developed by Dr. Viktor Frankl who was the successor to Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler in the Third Viennese School of psychiatry. But while Freud assumed that our primarily focus was on winning pleasure and avoiding pain and Adler saw us seeking potency and prestige rather than devaluation, Viktor understood the human need to live with a consistent sense of meaning as the primary motivating factor in the lives, loves and labors of normal men and women. And While While Viktor Frankl taught about our human yearning for meaning, Jard DeVille added the longing for belonging with the men and women with whom we share faith, hope and love. Jard combined Viktor’s focus on personal meaning with his own emphasis on situations and relationships where one belongs emotionally -- where good people are accepted, loved and trusted in places of the heart.

Logotherapy a is the action arm of existential or lifestyle psychology that enables perceptive men and women to make their lives meaningful and fulfilling.
