Filosofia e psicoterapia no projeto da análise existencial de Viktor Frankl: a compreensão da pessoa espiritual a partir da transcedência

Abstract

This epistemological thesis aims to demonstrate how the relationship between Philosophy and Psychotherapy contributes to the Existential Analysis proposed by Frankl, allowing, thus, a glimpse on the conception of being human from an existencial perspective. Such relationship has been built since the works of Martin Heidegger, notably The Metaphysical Foundations of Logic (1928) and Zollikon Seminars (1987). Concerning Frankl’s bibliography, Logotherapy and Existential Analysis (1967) are remarkable. This theoretical bibliographic research is divided in three different parts. Firstly, the main goal was to determine the relationship between Phylosophy and Psycotherapy in order to understand the Existencial Analysis. The second chapter stems from the criticism to the modern psychiatric epistemology, aiming to explore the philosophical anthropology proposed by Frankl in order to discuss the rehabilitation itinerary of the spiritual dimension. Lastly, it pursues to clarify the phenomenon of transcendence as an essential part of being human.
