ABSTRACT

From what was said above it follows that in the case of noogenic neuroses, logotherapy is a specific therapy: noogenic neuroses, as neuroses originating in the spiritual dimension of the person, demand logotherapy as a therapy that adopts a spiritual perspective. In the case of noogenic neuroses, logotherapy is indicated insofar as these neuroses present logotherapy’s narrower scope of indication. Within the boundaries of this sphere, logotherapy is indeed a replacement for psychotherapy. But there is also a wider sphere of indication for logotherapy, and this is represented by neuroses in the narrow sense, that is, not the noogenic, but the psychogenic neuroses. And within this sphere logotherapy is not a replacement for psychotherapy, but merely a supplement to it.
