Viktor Emile Frankl's meaning paradigm: Logotherapy as a model for meaning -centered pastoral ministry in the contemporary Singaporean context

This dissertation examined Viktor Frankl's works published in English and assessed logotherapy as a model for meaning-centered pastoral ministry in the contemporary Singaporean context. The project explored four composite case studies portraying experiences observed in Singapore. Each case study was constructed from a composite of personalities and a matrix of events and drew from my knowledge of actual persons and experience of real-life scenarios.;The studies were analyzed using logotherapy in a pastoral ministry setting. The cognitive, affective, and behavioral outcomes anticipated demonstrated the suitability of logotherapy as a model of meaning-centered pastoral ministry in the contemporary Singaporean context.
