I believe that encouragement and positivity are important goals for therapy. It is important to offer the client encouragement so that they can develop (Corey p477‚ 2013).

Adlerian Play Therapy “Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood‚ for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul” (Friedrich Froebel‚ 2012).

Viktor Frankl shared rich insights on life that I believe deserve to be heard‚ absorbed‚ and exercised. Many books written by Nazi camp survivors fall into the same story-telling theme‚ but Man’s Search for Meaning is written to go beyond the horror stories of the camps‚ and to dive into why the survivors were the ones made it out‚ and it wasn’t due to luck‚ as Frankl stated. The ones who made it out were the ones who learned how to cope with the suffering and found meaning in it. Frankl’s term

Hesson Period 1 Viktor Frankl’s book‚ “Mans Search for Meaning‚” has an abundance of despair‚ loss‚ and chances to become bitter‚ however‚ Frankl turns those potential feelings around and makes them into an experience‚ one he can learn from.

Viktor could not change the fact that he was starving‚ being treated less than an animal‚ and being mentally
