📣 Featured Plenary Presentation Announcement

A Message of Hope and Meaning from Krakow:

Viktor Frankl's Legacy in the Work of the Krakow Institute of Logotherapy

We are pleased to announce a special in-person plenary presentation at the 25th World Congress on Logotherapy.

Representing the Krakow Institute of Logotherapy (Poland) will be:

• Roman Solecki, Director
• Michal Kus, Deputy Director
• Mariusz Gajewski, Editor, Journal of Logotherapy Studies

In their words: This presentation will introduce the Krakow Institute of Logotherapy as a place where Viktor Emil Frankl’s thought is not only studied, but also translated into concrete forms of education, therapy, prevention, culture, and public dialogue. The main question of the presentation is simple: how can Frankl’s message of meaning become a living source of hope for people today?

Join us in Chicago as colleagues from Krakow present one of the most active contemporary centers advancing Viktor Frankl’s legacy in Europe.

Keynote Speakers and Additional Featured Presentations Coming Soon.
