Aspiration of C-class Logotherapists

• Ｈｉｔｏｍｉ　Ｋｉｍｕｒａ 　in Ehime Prefecture, high-school teacher I am enjoying myself learning Logotherapy. It is my healing time when I attend a Logotherapy seminar and meet wonderful fellows. I think I have been advancing little by little, though still dragging myself. I am working among high schoolers with various problems in their way. When talking with them using hints from Logotherapy, I find them more cheerful with more smiles. I am grateful to be awarded C-class Logotherapist. I will lighten up myself and surrounding people with Logotherapy.

• Ｋｕｍｉｋｏ　Ｔａｎｉｚａｗａ 　in Shizuoka Prefecture, School counsellor and lecturer on communication Since starting to learn Logotherapy, I have become to think over “question from life” when facing various happenings such as seeing trash on a road, getting injured unexpectedly or encountering harsh criticism. On a daily base, I asked myself “How should I respond to this question in light of Logotherapy? “ I will continue to respond to the question from life and chose objectively meaningful decision so that, some day, I can help those who have big trouble or suffering.

• Ｍｏｒｉｏ　Ｗａｋｉｓａｋａ 　in Saitama Prefecture, consultant One of reasons why I like Logotherapy is it requires us to live Logotherapy. Otherwise we cannot speak of Logotherapy to others. Men choose words, and words choose men as well: the importance of words depends on the man who utters the words. I will behave in a suitable way for the words I speak of Logotherapy.

• Ｋａｎａｅ　Ｍｏｒｉｙａｓｕ 　in Osaka Prefecture, Business woman I encountered Frankl one day when I was worrying that I could not answer to my daughter’s question about meaning of life. Everyone has troubles and sufferings in varying degrees in their life. After learning Logotherapy for a while, I found myself making a complete about-face in attitude toward sufferings. Living a logo-centered life and believing that man’s spiritual dimension never becomes sick, I will play the role given to me one by one at a stretch with care during limited hours of my life.

• Ｋｏｊｉ　Ｉｗａｔａ 　in Kanagawa Prefecture, psychiatric social worker I am engaging in job support to the mentally disabled as a psychiatric social worker. Logotherapy was developed by V. E. Frankl who was apsychiatrist and psychologist. I believe, however, Logotherapy is applicable not only to psychotherapy but also to various realms such aswelfare, education and industry, and useful not only for medical doctors and therapists but also for various professions such as nurses, teachersand social workers. I will try out for the possibility of Logotherapy a a psychiatric social worker.

• Ｋｅｉｓｕｋｅ　Ｙａｍａｄａ 　in Ishikawa Prefecture, medical doctor I have been engaged in palliative care of cancer patients as ananesthesiologist. While physical pains can be relieved by medicine, how to treat spiritual pains had been my perpetual bother. Frankl's dimensional ontology I learned in Logotherapy Seminar gave me a powerful clue. Human being is a comprehensive being that has not only physical and psychological dimensions but also spiritual dimension. I found it is important to control mentality using spiritual and physical dimensions; and to make self-transcendence and self-distancing second nature. I am also working for "Cancer Philosophy Clinic based on Logotherapy."

• Ａｋｏ　Ｋｕｄｏ　in Miyag Prefecture, clinical psychotherapist I have special emotions that I was certified Logotherapist in 2011 when the Tohoku Area was attacked by a great earthquake. I had been questioning repeatedly from my young age about life and death: "What is life?" and "Does death come true?" Instead of answering to my questions, Logotherapy indicates me locus of responsibility saying "Live a better life."
  Although my casual daily life was destroyed and lost, I will fulfill my responsibilities with paying full attention to person and matter at hand as well as greatly esteeming singularity and uniqueness of encounter.

• Ｍｏｍｏｋｏ　Ａｋａｓａｋａ in Tokyo, translator When I was preparing for the exam, I was looking forward to spending peaceful days after the exam.
  But now when I have passed the exam, I feel overwhelmed with responsibility considering that the touch of Logotherapist handed from Frankl to Lukas, then Lukas to Katsuta, was handed over to me. It would seem that I have assumed a lifetime responsibility.
  Although I may not contribute much, I will continue walking steadily and unflaggingly.

  I will support children who tend to give up hope for their life and help to have purpose and hope for their life.
  Suffering of children is suffering of their surrounding adults. I will stand by the surrounding adults as their associate and worry and think about their problems.

• Ｍｉｃｈｉｋｏ　Ｍａｋｕｃｈｉ in Tokyo, practitioner of acupuncture and moxibustion The tenets of Logotherapy drastically changed my rigid value sense which I had been holding. In other words, I came to have flexibility to shed light on things from various angles.
  I will not forget to polish my antenna of conscience and eye glasses to see things, so that I can be responsive to question from my life. For that purpose, I wish I could use what I leaned for casting light on others, which may be small now but will be large in future.

• Ｔａｋａｋｏ　Ｙｏｓｈｉｄａ in Osaka Prefecture, counselor We sometimes feel beset from all sides, or cannot stand up with feeling of loneliness and sense of hopelessness.
