Abstract

Viktor Frankl, founder of logotherapy, stated that there is a meaning of life under every circunstance. The intention of this work is to add up Frankl’s contribution with other authors like Jung and Erikson, in search of a holistic and integrating approach. We will take a close look at the link between Frankl’s meaning of life concept and Carl Jung’s process of individuation. Could we confront the concept of an authentic meaning of life and a non authentic one? Then we will look at Erikson’s contribution as a complement of this work. At last, we will point at the importance of self knowledge, and projection to fullfill our meaning.
