* a comparison of Logotherapy with Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis and Alfred Alder's individual psychology, as well as with other major theories of psychotherapy
* concepts and tenets of Franklian philosophy and psychology -- known as Logotherapy
* an overview of techniques used in Logotherapy with an emphasis on ethical responsibilities important to Logotherapists
* the significance of the human spirit in the study of Logotherapy

The course ends with a summary, review, and examination.
