Summary: | "This is a study in the field of mental health. As such it will be welcomed by students of psychology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy. At the same time it is a valuable handbook for all those who have responsibility in this field. Specifically, this is the author's analysis and evaluation of Victor E. Frankl's approach to psychotherapy, in this process Dr. Tweedie presents his own view and approach to psychotherapy. Since the author at all times retains a Christian point of view this book will be particularly valuable to the Christian psychotherapist. In that sense this book is unique, and a genuine contribution. The chapter headings illustrate the author's approach and basis of evaluation: 1. Introduction; 2. Logotherapy: Its Roots and Rivals; 3. Logotherapy and Man; 4. Logotherapy and Mental Illness; 5. Logotherapy and Healing; 6. Logotherapy and the Medical Ministry; 7. Logotherapy and the Christian Therapist"--Cover.
