Logotherapy means:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Treatment of the soul

Option (1) Treatment of the soul — Correct. Logotherapy was propounded by Victor Frankl. Logos is the Greek word for soul, so logotherapy means treatment for the soul. Its goal is to help patients find meaning and responsibility in their life whatever their circumstances.

Option (2) Treatment of the brain pathology — Incorrect. Frankl worked on the patient’s search for meaning, not on any disease of the brain; nothing in the word ‘logos’ refers to the brain.

Option (3) Treatment of body — Incorrect. ‘Logos’ means soul, not body; the therapy deals with the spiritual side of one’s existence.

Option (4) Treatment of the emotional disturbances — Incorrect. Frankl stressed spiritual anxieties that lead to meaninglessness (existential anxiety); the word itself names the soul, not emotions.
