Viktor E. Frankl's logotherapy stands as a pioneering bridge between the historically antagonistic domains of psychiatry and religion. Breaking from Freudian pleasure-seeking and Adlerian power-driven models, Frankl's "Third Viennese School" positions humanity's search for meaning at the core of psychological well-being. Through comparative analysis with classical psychoanalytic theories, this research reveals how Frankl's concentration camp experiences shaped his revolutionary therapeutic framework centered on three pathways to meaning: creative, experiential, and attitudinal values. His approach uniquely addresses spiritual dimensions of human existence while maintaining clear professional boundaries between psychological and religious spheres. The concept of "Supra-meaning" acknowledges transcendent reality without reducing religious belief to mere psychological constructs, offering implicit religious support as patients move toward ultimate meaning, free from sectarian doctrine. By providing a unified anthropological framework that recognizes humanity's somatic, psychic, and spiritual elements, Frankl successfully dissolves the artificial divide between scientific psychology and religious practice.
