Noogenic neurosis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noogenic neurosis is a term in logotherapy denoting a form of neurosis stemming from "existential frustration" (see existential crisis). The term was coined by Dr. Viktor Frankl, the founder of logotherapy.[1]

Noogenic refers to the noetic or spiritual dimension in humans.[2]

Prevalence

Frankl contended that this new type of neurosis increased in the recent years.[3] He estimated that 20% of all neurotic cases were also cases of noogenic neurosis.[4]
