Abstract

SANTOS, David Moises Barreto dos. Logotherapy: understanding theory through a concepts map. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.68, n.2, pp. 128-142. ISSN 1809-5267.

The interest in Logotherapy and Existential Analysis has increased since its inception, both by clinicians and by other professionals. However, to understand a theoretical system is not an easy task, especially for a beginner; it requires a lot of dedication, particularly to assimilate the interrelationships among its concepts. Thus, diagrams can be used to explicit them. In this sense, the goal of this paper is to present a concept map of Logotherapy and Existential Analysis. Therefore, we use contrastive analysis to organize the concepts extracted from specialized texts. The result was just a conceptual map containing interrelationships among the main concepts of the theoretical system investigated.

Keywords : Logotherapy; Meaning of life; Concepts; Concept map.
