Existential analysis - Existenzanalyse (German)

Japanese: 実存分析 - じつぞんぶんせき（英語表記）Existenzanalyse[ドイツ]

This theory was put forward after World War II by the Austrian psychiatrist Frankl, known for his book Man's Search for Meaning. Its essence lies in analyzing the meaning and value of life while focusing on responsibility and ethics as the foundations of human existence, and logotherapy was born as a therapeutic philosophy based on this. Frankl asserts that the key concept is the "will to meaning," in contrast to S. Freud's "will to pleasure" and A. Adler's "will to power," and argues that if this is not met, an existential crisis or conflict with conscience, known as a "noogene neurose," will occur.

《夜と霧》で知られるオーストリアの精神医学者フランクルが第2次大戦後にとなえた学説。人間存在の基盤としての責任性と倫理性に着目しながら，人生の意味と価値を分析していくところに本質があり，その治療理念としてロゴテラピーLogotherapieが生まれた。S.フロイトの〈快楽への意志〉とA.アードラーの〈力への意志〉に対して〈意味への意志〉を鍵概念として主張し，これが満たされない場合には，精神因性神経症noogene Neuroseという名の，実存的危機や良心との葛藤が生ずると説く。
