TRAINING COURSE
IN EXISTENTIAL ANALYSIS
“What can be changed should be modified. Where nothing can be changed, I can change myself”.
Alfried Laengle, MD, PhD
The introduction module is a great way to gain understanding of what is existential analysis.

The curator of the course:
Clever Psychology - a London-based centre for psychological wellbeing. Since 2015, Clever Psychology has been running existential self-reflection groups based on the curriculum developed by Alfried Laengle.
Since 2017, educational groups led by Alfried Laengle and his close pupils are conducted in central London.
The GLE-International educational programme was created by Alfried Laengle is in 1991 based on Viktor Frankl’s work. Today, this highly successful training course is being taught in the USA, Canada, Russia and many European countries.
The aim of Existential Analysis: to discover a way of living that enables us to give inner consent to our actions (''affirmation of life'').
THE COURSE IS DESIGNED FOR:
-
Those who are looking for a career change:
those who would like to communicate with others on a regular basis, and help them solve problems to find their true self.
-
Helping professions such as:
psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, life coaches and trainers interested in expanding their professional horizons and toolsets.
-
Those who are interested in deepening their self-knowledge:
those who try to understand themselves and others better, to lead a meaningful and balanced life.
The cornerstones of existence – the four existential fundamental motivations:
Viktor Frankl considered the search for meaning to be our deepest motivation. Developments in Existential Analysis led to the discovery of three existential (or personal) motivations that precede the motivation for meaning. Together these four motivations lead to profound and enduring personal discovery:
Why existential analysis?
Touch the origins
Austria is the birthplace of psychotherapy. Freud's psychoanalysis focuses on "will to pleasure" and Adler's individual psychology focuses on "will to power" have given way to existential analysis and its "will to meaning". Existential analysis became known as the Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy. Nowadays, it is one of the most authoritative approaches in psychotherapy.
Rise to a new level
Existential analysis is not only theory and practice of therapeutic work, it is also a way of being. Studying existential analysis is a life-changing experience for all students - it shapes our minds and souls and eventually becomes our true lifestyle.
Dive deeper
The main goal of existential analysis is to see a person in his/her core essence, help them fill their life with meaning and live in harmony with their values.
We are continuously challenged and questioned by the four existential motivations – the world, life, self, context and future (meaning). The practice of Existential Analysis relies on dialogue as the main therapeutic tool to explore these challenges at the individual level.
1. We are motivated by the fundamental question of existence: I exist – can I be in this world where I live? Do I have the necessary space, protection and support? When we experience these we feel accepted and this in turn enables us to embrace an accepting attitude toward ourselves. - A deficit can lead to anxiety.
3. We are motivated by the fundamental question of “self”: I am myself – but do I feel free to be myself? Am I allowed to be who I am? Do I experience attention, justice, appreciation, esteem, respect, "my own worth"? Do I feel I have the right to be me? - Deficits at this level can lead to a histrionic complex of symptoms and personality disorders.
2. We are motivated by the fundamental question of life: I am alive – do I like this? Do I have access to my emotions? Do I feel my emotions, feel their value? Experiencing the value of my life makes me aware that it is good to be alive - “that I am here”. - Deficits can lead to depression.
4. We are motivated by the fundamental question of meaning: I am here – for what purpose? What is present today that may make my life part of a meaningful whole? What do I live for? - A deficit can lead to suicidal tendencies, aggravate addictions and other dependencies.
