Course Title:
Existential Psychology
Course Number:
PSI 3114E
Course Description:
This course will focus on meaning and Viktor Frankls Logotherapy (Meaning-centered Psychotherapy). However, it will also cover broad issues in existential psychology (such as death, freedom, responsibility, and responsibleness). Many mental illnesses can be traced to meaninglessness and the most common may be what we call the living dead. These are people who are living good lives by all sociological and economic standards, but they seem more dead than alive. There is something worse than being deprived of life: It is being deprived of life and not knowing it. This course will discuss this kind of death. Finally, this course will use several Logotherapy psychological and personality exams for you to take. Obviously, these are not graded and there are no correct answers. They are intended to help all of you in your search for meaning.
