Yearbook Volume 1: Explorations in Logotherapy, Pastoral Care, and Counseling
Welcome to the first yearbook of Meaning in Ministry! 2024 has been a busy year for me.
I began working on my Diplomate project in Logo-Philosophy with Dr. Ann-Marie Neale (Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy). I began learning German to be able to read books by Frankl (and others) not yet translated into English. I began learning Wertorientierte Imagination (Value-oriented imagination) with Dr. Stephan Peeck (Institutes für Logotherapie und Existenzanalyse Hamburg – Bergedorf), and I conducted many interviews for my website.
Now I am delighted to share some summaries and bonus material in this yearbook!
What is Logotherapy?
Logotherapy was developed by neurologist and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl and is based on the premise that the primary motivational force of an individual is to find a meaning in life.
Why Pastoral Logotherapy?
Pastoral Logotherapy (PL) describes the implementation of the techniques and philosophy of Logotherapy and Existential Analysis (LTEA) in caring for the members of a local faith community or other spiritual setting.
"You conveyed an excellent—and very meaningful—message in your sermon yesterday! The way that you integrated Frankl’s ideas with Paul’s Letter to the Philippians was extraordinary!"
— Dr. Alex Pattakos, coauthor of Prisoners of Our Thoughts: Viktor Frankl's Principles for Discovering Meaning in Life and Work
The Wisdom Of Pastoral Logotherapy
Through compelling sermons, Rev. Edmonson delves into the profound intersection of faith and psychology, guiding others toward deeper meaning and purpose in life. Join him as he illuminate the path to a more enriched existence through the teachings of pastoral logotherapy.
