Why is it important?

Meaning-centered accompaniment following Viktor Frankl's logotherapy recognizes the individuality of the individual and provides an important Impetus for interdisciplinary collaboration and enhanced mental health.

Perspectives

The value of existential psychotherapy in end-of-life-care is that it encourages patients to seriously explore their life in terms of meaningful choices.
