Professional Development & Education
VFIA recommends that members take the opportunity to study logotherapy in depth. Logotherapy is predominantly an adjunct therapy and is a qualification additional to your professional area of expertise.
There are therapists with varying therapeutic approaches, as well as medical practitioners, leaders in all fields, and accountants who incorporate logotherapy into their practice – all share the philosophy that life has meaning to be found … always.
Continuing Professional Development

Archived videos of recent seminars are available for members on the Member’s page. This page provides access to regular updates, conversations, and research about logotherapy around the world
