We are pleased to announce a special in-person plenary presentation at the 25th World Congress on Logotherapy.
Representing the Krakow Institute of Logotherapy (Poland) will be:
• Roman Solecki, Director
• Michal Kus, Deputy Director
• Mariusz Gajewski, Editor, Journal of Logotherapy Studies
In their words: This presentation will introduce the Krakow Institute of Logotherapy as a place where Viktor Emil Frankl’s thought is not only studied, but also translated into concrete forms of education, therapy, prevention, culture, and public dialogue. The main question of the presentation is simple: how can Frankl’s message of meaning become a living source of hope for people today?
Join us in Chicago as colleagues from Krakow present one of the most active contemporary centers advancing Viktor Frankl’s legacy in Europe.
Keynote Speakers and Additional Featured Presentations Coming Soon.
The Foundations of Logotherapy is more than an educational program—it is an invitation to join an international community inspired by Viktor Frankl’s vision of meaning, purpose, and the uniquely human spirit.
Over 3 immersive days, you will learn alongside participants from around the world, engage in meaningful dialogue, and experience Logotherapy not only as a body of knowledge, but as a lived encounter. Through lectures, discussion, reflection, and experiential learning, the course engages both the intellect and the person as a whole.
Whether you are a healthcare professional, counselor, coach, educator, student, or simply interested in Viktor Frankl’s work, this course provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to Logotherapy and Existential Analysis. No prior knowledge is required.
Choose the format that best suits you:
While both formats provide the same academic content, we strongly recommend attending in person, where the depth of personal interaction, spontaneous conversations, and shared learning creates a uniquely enriching experience.
The Foundations course may be taken independently of the 25th World Congress of Logotherapy and includes:
Whether this is your first encounter with Logotherapy or the next step in your professional development, we hope this experience becomes a meaningful milestone in your personal and professional journey.
We look forward not only to teaching Logotherapy, but to learning, reflecting, and growing together with you as members of an international community dedicated to meaning.
Participate in person and experience the Congress as a shared space of dialogue, encounter, and connection.
Over three days, engage with keynote speakers, plenary sessions, and interactive formats that bring Logotherapy to life in a lived and relational context.
On-site participation includes the opportunity to present upon acceptance of submission.
