Jesus e a logoterapia: O ministério de Jesus interpretado à luz da psicoterapia de Viktor Frankl

by Robert C. Leslie

O ministério de Jesus sempre se orientou mais para a transformação da vida do que para a terapia. O propósito básico de Jesus sempre consistiu em relacionar a pessoa mais diretamente a Deus. No entanto, quando estudamos sua prática à luz de princípios psicológicos atuais, torna-se evidente que a metodologia usada por Viktor E. Frankl ilustra inúmeros princípios revelados pela psicoterapia contemporânea.

O livro é muito bom, dá uns insights bacanas sobre a relação Logoterapia-Cristianismo, mas o autor é um pouco liberal teologicamente falando. Tirando alguns erros teológicos, todo o resto, como o incentivo à responsabilidade humana, as críticas à psicanálise e ao behaviorismo e principalmente a ênfase da busca do sentido final da vida em Deus, foi muito proveitoso.

I believe this is a must read for anyone who has undertaken the mission of helping people through difficulties. Counselors, physicians, and pastors will be challenged to see a person holistically...body, soul, and spirit. The reader will be reminded of the importance of embracing meaning in order to thrive under any circumstance. And the reader will be shown all this and more through the life and actions of Jesus. This is a great integration of logotherapy, psychotherapy, and Christianity.

3.5/5 all in all, I'd say I enjoyed this book, though I do question the theology of Dr. Leslie. Seems very liberal and so some of his points I find myself disagreeing with. That said, this is not a book on theology, as much as it's an integration of some Christian concepts and logotherapy. And so, I give it a 3.5 because I do find myself graviating towards some of the concepts of logotherapy, and Dr. Leslie explains it pretty well.

Speechless...

A short but concise and well-rounded book pinpointing how Frankl's ideas and his logotherapy apply to persons and events in the New Testament. Probably would have given 5-stars if it were longer and more developed, but overall I would recommend it to Frankl's followers, indeed, to Christ's followers.
