Logotherapy and Existential Analysis for the Management of Moral Injury by Maria Marshall,Edward Marshall Pdf

The COVID-19 pandemic brought Moral Injury (MI) to the forefront of clinical attention and research. This multi-dimensional syndrome has been first described in the military context and is now understood to affect people in other occupations such as health care, business, education, law enforcement, the legal profession, disaster relief, international aid, social justice, as well as other areas of social and occupational functioning. Moral injury occurs when deeply held beliefs, ethical and moral principles have been trespassed. The violation of universal values and personal principles can be committed by oneself or by others. Witnessing potentially morally injurious events gives rise to guilt, shame, remorse, anger, disgust, feelings of betrayal, spiritual struggles and disorientation, loss of meaning, and despair. The secondary symptoms of moral injury may include anxiety, depression, and post traumatic stress. The symptoms of moral injury can vary in intensity and can present from mild to severe, seriously impairing functioning. Moral injury is not considered a mental illness but a syndrome that warrants clinical attention. Employing a phenomenological hermeneutic method of systematically reviewing pertinent texts, the present study explores the lived experience of moral injury in relation to assessment and treatment methods currently available. Conceptually, research indicates that self care, moral resilience, and social support are linked with factors such as resiliency, post-traumatic growth, and self-transcendence. These factors are correlated with meaning, a key factor in wellness following existential frustration and distress. Thus, a holistic body, mind and spirit approach to the assessment and response to moral injury is warranted. Viktor E. Frankl's Logotherapy and Existential Analysis (LTEA) is an evidence-based meaning-centered approach to psychotherapy and counselling that has been successfully applied in the treatment of conditions involving existential issues. The present research examines the contribution of LTEA to the conceptual understanding of moral injury and to its related symptomatology. It details the application of LTEA principles and structured meaning-centered interventions in responding to moral injury. The applications are illustrated with examples that help to position this method into a holistic framework promoting re-connection, renewal, and health.

Applied Logotherapy by Stephen J. Costello Pdf

This book is a seminal contribution to applied and clinical logotherapy and existential analysis from a philosopher who is also a practitioner. It covers twelve essential topics and themes, drawing on Dr Viktor Frankl’s Viennese School of philosophical psychology, from therapeutic techniques, such as dereflection, paradoxical intention, and Socratic dialogue, to the mass neurotic triad of aggression, addiction, and depression. It also discusses the cultural malaise of anger, anxiety, and boredom, and the theory and therapy of mental disorders such as neuroses and psychoses, criminality, and suicidality. This unique publication, which is both theoretical and practical, is intended primarily for psychotherapists, philosophers, psychologists and psychiatrists, but will also appeal to parents, teachers, students, and indeed anyone who wishes to live a life of meaning and mental health.

Basic Trust by Maria Marshall Pdf

The present book offers a collection of writings by professionals and clinicians familiar with the work of Viktor E. Frankl, an Austrian psychiatrist, and the founder of Logotherapy and Existential Analysis (LTEA), a meaning-centered approach to psychotherapy. This mosaic illustrates the nature, aspects, dimension, and relevance of basic trust as the source of meaningful living. "Interconnectedness," by Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Lukas, invites the reader to consider lived experience in the context of a larger whole of humanity's search for meaning. "Never Again!" a speech by Rabbi Idan Scher, affirms that the universal call to value the dignity of every person and each life. "From Psychotherapy to Logotherapy," by Prof. Dr. Maria Marshall, reviews the evolution of LTEA and its clinical implications. "Monanthropism and the Peace Movement" by Prof. Dr. Thiago Avellar de Aquino, Josilene Silva Cruz, and Dr. Eliseudo Salvino Gomes, advocates to complement freedom with responsibility, and to consider cultivating a spirit of one humanity, forgiveness, tolerance, kindness, and gratitude as fundamental virtues on the path to peace. Two articles by Prof. Dr. Maria Marshall "The Road Less Travelled", and "Choosing the Path to Meaning," illustrate how certain mindsets can lead away from meaning to despair. A reflection by Rev. Prof. Dr. Timothy Lent echoes the words of St. Augustine, according to which "...Our hearts are restless," until they rest in the source of faith. The poem, "The Fall and Then..." by Dr. Guillermo Pareja Herrera, suggests that there are many ways in which human beings experience brokenness and vulnerability, yet though their very nature, they are challenged to get up and stand straight. According to Dr. Teria Shantall, every day is a new day during which we can live with "Anticipatory Hope," instead of anticipatory fear. Two articles by Prof. Dr. Maria Marshall "'Existential Angst' and 'Existential Threat'" and "Healing through Meaning in Situations of Conflict," illustrate the possibility of using logotherapeutic principles to face anxiety with courage to facilitate healing. "Building Oases of Meaning," by the same author, explores the possibility of cultivating value-discerning communities. "Healing the Wounds," a brief reflection by Dr. Teria Shantall, reaffirms that cultivating Basic Trust requires to affirm the unscathed potentials of the human spirit. The search for meaning in suffering, the themes of reconciliation, and redemption, are evident in two book reviews: "Indian Horse," by Peter Marshall, and "Oscar and the Lady in Pink," by Michael Marshall. The metaphor of the "Star Thrower" raises the possibility of becoming empathetic, exactly because of the awareness of the reality of suffering. "A Message of Hope," by Dr. Edith Eva Eger reinforces this point. Dr. Eger is a Holocaust survivor, a clinical psychologist, and trauma specialist. The following article, "Management of Moral Injury in Health Care Workers," by Prof. Dr. Edward Marshall, and Prof. Dr. Maria Marshall addresses the use of meaning-centered principles in facilitating healing after suffering because of values transgressions. "How can we Help Different People in the Current Crisis of War," by Prof. Dr. Svetlana Shtukareva, contains meaning-centered insights that speak to the questions and issues of the hour. Likewise, the article, "Supporting Refugees and Persons who have been Displaced," by Prof. Dr. Maria Marshall. "From Fear to Trust," by the same author, contains up- to-date research findings concerning the neuro-psychological, and existential aspects of fear and trust. Stephan Baier's interview with Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Lukas, entitled "Trust," discusses the nature and function of Basic Trust. The book ends with the "Prayer of Habakkuk," an example of reaching to the dimension of the Transcendent in spirit-our home.

Echoism by Donna Christina Savery Pdf

This book introduces the importance of echoism as a clinical entity and a theoretical concept. In Ovid's version of the myth of Echo and Narcissus, the character Echo receives equal attention to her counterpart, Narcissus, yet she has been completely marginalised in the pervasive literatures on narcissism. The author draws upon her work with patients who have experienced relationships with narcissistic partners or parents, and have developed a particular configuration of object relations and ways of relating for which she uses the term echoism. She uses psychoanalytic theory and existential philosophical ideas to underpin her formulations and inform her clinical thinking. Donnna Savery explores the question 'Am I an Echoist?' and introduces the concept of Echoism in the following YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEyjolXL7lA

Euthanasia: Searching for the Full Story by Timothy Devos Pdf

This open access book has been written by ten Belgian health care professionals, nurses, university professors and doctors specializing in palliative care and ethicists who, together, raise questions concerning the practice of euthanasia. They share their experiences and reflections born out of their confrontation with requests for euthanasia and end-of-life support in a country where euthanasia has been decriminalized since 2002 and is now becoming a trivial topic.Far from evoking any militancy, these stories of life and death present the other side of a reality needs to be evaluated more rigorously.Featuring multidisciplinary perspectives, this though-provoking and original book is intended not only for caregivers but also for anyone who questions the meaning of death and suffering, as well as the impact of a law passed in 2002. Presenting real-world cases and experiences, it highlights the complexity of situations and the consequences of the euthanasia law.This book appeals to palliative care providers, hematologists, oncologists, psychiatrists, nurses and health professionals as well as researchers, academics, policy-makers, and social scientists working in health care. It is also a unique resource for those in countries where the decriminalization of euthanasia is being considered. Sometimes shocking, it focuses on facts and lived experiences to challenge readers and offer insights into euthanasia in Belgium.

Existential Counselling in Practice by Emmy Van Deurzen,Emmy Van Deurzen-Smith Pdf

"An excellent 'primer.' This is the type of text that I would have liked to have read when I was first introduced to the existential-phenomenological approach within psychology. It is clearly written and jargon-free. . . . I highly recommend this book as a very good introduction." --Mufid James Hannush in Journal of Phenomenological Psychology Are psychological problems brought on by social pressure, biology, culture, or personal pathology? Or are they the by-product of the essential paradoxes of human existence? This volume offers the practicing therapist a concrete framework for understanding both the role of the counselor and the concept of anxiety in contemporary society. But more importantly, the author demonstrates practical methods for applying an existential approach to counseling. Counseling is not presented as a problem-solving or skill-building exercise; rather, it is seen as a process enabling the client to come to terms with living life as it is, with all its inherent contradictions. Through an abundant use of case illustrations, the author clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of existential counseling in many different areas of therapy, from crisis intervention to work with chronic unhappiness. Written in a simple, elegant style by a leading authority on therapy techniques, this volume will prove an indispensable guide to the existential approach for all counselors and students of counseling. "Offers a very readable account of counselling from an existential perspective. Numerous case histories are used to illustrate common dilemmas in people's lives. . . . The book flows in a sensitive narrative on the problems of living and neurotic ways of denying and dealing withconflict. . . . It reads more like a commentary on people's lives, rather than a structured and informative introduction to Existential Counselling. . . .I enjoyed the book immensely and it is well recommended as a balance to the technically loaded manuals of today." --British Journal of Medical Psychology "This is a book worthy of wide acclaim as it fills a missing philosophical gap in therapy in Western civilization. The author writes clearly and simply in plain English. She presents existential thought as an easily accessible coherent body of work. The book is full of case histories where seemingly meaningless psychotic episodes are later explained. Also there are cases of despair, depression and meaninglessness quoted which is what makes this book so necessary for our times of mass production, mass media and mass alienation." --Suggestions: The Newsletter of the Association of Professional Therapists "A process of continuous questioning and clarification helps clients to examine their natural, public, private, and ideal worlds; to discover and explore their basic assumptions and view of the world; and thereby to learn what it means to be true to themselves. The book is intended for counselors and psychotherapists but can be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in existentialism, providing a coherent, readable, and easily understood description of existentialism and its use as a treatment form. It makes a strong case for the value of fostering independence and authenticity in clients through the use of the Socratic method rather than empathy. . . . This author emphasizes the role of the counselor as an educator. She cites many case histories, some of whose outcomes seem almostmiraculous. the book is worth reading." --Readings: A Journal of Reviews and Commentary in Mental Health "A lucid, highly readable, and solid introduction to this school of thought in the helping professions. . . . An existential approach is appealing, particularly to helping professionals who concern themselves with their clients' spiritual needs." --Review and Expositor "This book provides an excellent source from which to examine the extent to which cognitive therapy is informed by existentialism. The reader is promised a logical application of the ideas of existential philosophy that translate into practical counselling methods. This promise is fulfilled. The book is full of succinct case examples which illustrate the principles clearly." --British Journal of Guidance and Counselling
