WHAT IS EXISTENTIAL ANALYSIS?
Human existence is profoundly shaped by our ability to make authentic decisions, while being fully aware of both our responsibility and our freedom to choose. Existential Analysis is a phenomenological, person-oriented form of psychotherapy that aims to guide individuals toward living more freely and authentically.
It helps individuals come to terms with their emotions and behaviours, encouraging them to live in alignment with their "inner consent" – with greater freedom and self-awareness. The primary goal of Existential Analysis is to see a person in their core essence, helping them find meaning and fulfilment and live in harmony with their values.
WHO IS DR ALFRIED LAENGLE?
Austria is renowned as the birthplace of psychotherapy, beginning with Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis, which focused on the "will to pleasure," and continuing with Alfred Adler's individual psychology, centred on the "will to power." Viktor Frankl's logotherapy, which emphasised the "will to meaning," later became known as the third Viennese school of psychotherapy. Dr Alfried Längle, an Austrian psychotherapist, clinical psychologist, and existential analyst, was a favoured student of Viktor Frankl and worked closely with him for many years as both a colleague and a friend.
While Frankl founded Existential Analysis and Logotherapy, Dr Längle has made significant scientific contributions to the field, essentially "taking the reins" of Frankl's work after his death in 1997. Today, Existential Analysis is regarded as one of the most influential phenomenological approaches to psychotherapy.
r. Längle has received multiple awards and honors for his work, both in Austria and internationally. Since 1982, he has maintained a private therapy practice in Vienna and is a regular lecturer and speaker at universities and institutions in Austria, Canada, Russia, Chile, and Argentina. He is the author of several books and numerous scientific articles on Existential Analysis. We are excited to start a new cohort in London under the clinical supervision of Dr Längle.
