relationship is such that GTF students may fulfill all of their academic
requirements through the P.R.I.M.E. location and receive full credit for

The Viktor Frankl Institute offers intensive workshop-style educational
experiences in different areas. The Institute also makes the three
courses in logotherapy available in a Distance Learning format. There
are introductory, intermediate and advanced levels of courses offered
by highly qualified faculty. Within the Institute a student can achieve
the status of Associate in Logotherapy or Diplomate in Logotherapy.
After completing the coursework for the Associate credential,

Institute of Logotherapy.
Franklian Psychology (Logotherapy/Existential Analysis)
The three degree programs (D.Min., Psy.D., Ph.D.) offering
specialization in the theory and methodology of logotherapy, called
here Franklian Psychology, which is based on the writings of Viktor
Frankl, are for counseling practitioners seeking to develop a deeper
understanding of Frankl's work and its application to the field of
counseling. For clergy, religious, and laity, Franklian Psychology is
established upon the fundamental principle of the primacy of
“meaning” as the source of human health and wholeness. These
degrees may be earned by completing work through the Viktor Frankl
Institute of Logotherapy. Degrees in Franklian Psychology may only
be taken from the Foundation if the student has earned the Diplomate
Certification from the Viktor Frankl Institute and is in good standing at
the time the degree is awarded.
