Logotherapy refers to a type of Existential therapy that focuses on challenging clients to search for meaning in their lives. Logotherapy is associated with the techniques of attitude modulation, dereflection, and paradoxical intention. Logotherapy which literally means "the therapy of meaning" is a widely known form of Existential therapy developed by Victor Frankl that encourages the client (a) to find meaning in what appears to be a callous, uncaring, and meaningless world and (b) to develop a sense of responsibility for his/her life.
