Our first Unit provides an overview of Logotherapy and will address a diverse range of needs for individuals undertaking the course. We then go more deeply into each aspect of Logotherapy as you progress through Units 2 to 4.
• For counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists the course will provide an alternative approach and set of professional skills to add to existing therapeutic techniques.
• For other health industry professionals and all who work with people it will provide an alternative approach that can be utilized as appropriate in client care, an approach that emphasizes personal worth and purposeful living.
