HOW FRANKL’S MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING SHAPES OUR UNDERSTANDING OF LOGOTHERAPY

Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning is a major book in existential psychology, which offers a deep understanding of the human search for meaning during suffering. In this article, I will delve into how and where contemporary psychological practices are greatly impacted by Frankl's logotherapy. The paper commences with an analysis of Frankl’s life and his work within the historical context showing how the experiences he went through in Nazi concentration camps influenced his theoretical perceptions. Furthermore, it looks at some principles of logotherapy such as personal voids and desire for meaning in order to discuss their role in treating trauma and building up people’s resistance power. Lastly, it underscores logotherapy’s amalgamation with other therapeutic modalities, its influence on positive psychology as well as its wider applications within healthcare systems and schools among others. This paper provides a detailed examination of Frankl’s principles that remain very useful in promoting mental healthiness and self-improvement thus affirming how meaningfulness can be used to respond to human pain.

القلق في ضوء القرآن الكريم وعلم النفس الحديث

The study aimed to explore anxiety as a psychological phenomenon, including its types, causes, and treatment methods in light of the Holy Quran and modern psychology. The research employed a descriptive-analytical approach by collecting relevant Quranic verses and comparing these concepts with those found in psychology books, as well as examining the insights of Muslim scholars and modern psychology regarding anxiety, its types, causes, and treatment. The study found that anxiety is a modern psychological concept that affects individuals due to fear, stress, or excessive thinking about certain life issues, often of unknown origin, and is a source of psychological pressure. It also revealed that the verses in the Quran addressing doubt and suspicion refer to anxiety in its modern sense. Additionally, the study showed that Quranic stories illustrate the levels and types of anxiety experienced by the prophets in different situations, including psychological anxiety, social anxiety, and objective anxiety related to their prophetic missions. Furthermore, the Quranic verses focused on the anxiety of specific groups, such as hypocrites and disbelievers, particularly concerning their doubt and suspicion in receiving the divine message and opposing the prophets. The study recommends incorporating psychological studies rooted in Islamic heritage into university curricula and encourages researchers to conduct in-depth studies on such topics. It also advocates for integrating psychological studies from the Quran and Sunnah with modern psychology.

PENANGGULANGAN ORIENTASI LGBT PADA ANAK USIA BALIGH

The Citayam Fashion Week (CFW) event in July 2022, -led by amateur teenagers-, suddenly became virtual in cyberspace. The massive emergence of the lifetrend of young groups of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender or popularly referred to as LGBT on the event of CFW, rekindled diverse polemics in the social realities of society at large. Although since 2001 when the Netherlands first until now almost 30 other countries have consciously officially legalized the LGBT movement, the LGBT phenomenon which is categorized as a form of deviation of sexual orientation, in fact LGBT is still a long discourse and has not ended either among academics, practitioners or the wider community. The arguments are manifold; starting from the change in LGBT status from the master book of psychology (DSM) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, namely from the category of sexual deviance orientation to the category of orientation that seems natural and commonplace, to the arguments of the Holy books including the Qur'an with postulates whose verses are clear and well established.

“Busy idleness”: The active and moral dimension of boredom

In this essay, I argue for the value of studying boredom as a social and organizational phenomenon. Recently, an interest in the more active side of boredom has led to the publication of a number of popular psychology books on boredom’s motivational capacities. A key point in this literature is the focus on the individual ability to distinguish between activity and productivity, and to exploit boredom for self-development purposes. I argue that this trend in boredom studies should prompt us to look closer, not only at the moral history of boredom, and at how social reality has organized around it, but also on what boredom, and the countermeasures it represents, “produce” as a central experiential component of alienated labor.

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover: A Case Study and Comparative Analysis of Popular vs. Academic Psychology Books

Many academic psychologists hold negative and stereotypical views about popular psychology books, even though there have been few formal investigations into these materials to understand their content, construction, purposes, or orientations, or their author’s credentials. This paper explores the origins of these views both within the Sociology of Scientific knowledge literature, and psychological literature. Through formal case study methodology, an extensive review and comparative analysis of books with the psychological construct of “Attention” in their title was undertaken to determine whether the current delineations between scholarly and popular materials and those who write them are as clear cut as those making such delineations seem to suggest, or if an alternative model of the relationship between academic and popular psychology literature could be offered. A bibliography of 145 books was compiled, followed by what turned out to be an arduous and at times impossible task of sorting these books into either popular vs. scholarly categories, revealing flaws in the dualistic nature of this activity that is often required of university students, instructors, and scholars alike. Six popular and six scholarly books (Table #3) revealed that while some of the popular books were less rigorous in referencing and representation of experimental or original findings, that they offered bibliotherapeutic benefits and were cited as often as scholarly materials in journal articles, books, and dissertations across multiple disciplines, thus suggesting that popularization is not simply a trickling down of knowledge from the scientific arenas to the public, but that science can be informed by professionals with expertise in applied areas. Meanwhile six books designated as scholarly only had a collective of 14 Amazon reader reviews. This project’s findings have implications for educators, researchers, librarians, and journal editors who may presently disqualify useful materials without fully understanding them, and for writers who could improve in their research and writing skills.

The Bhagavad Gita as the Epitome of Indian Psychology vis-à-vis Modern psychology

The Indian tradition has always revered the Bhagavad Gita as a text of marvellous universality with the ability to throw light on many aspects of an individual’s life journey. Further, its importance is underscored by its preeminence as a source book of Indian Psychology. Indian Psychology is a modern appellation given to the extraction, compilation and consolidation, from Indian sources, of the principles of psychology based on the framework of concepts and categorisation of the western tradition of psychology. This article examines the deep insights into the human psyche as presented and intuited from the Bhagavad Gita and consolidates them into maxims. The examination of Indian Psychology is guided by Advaita Vedanta - which is one of the windows of interpreting the Bhagavad Gita. The generic and particular principles of Indian Psychology as seen through the lens of the Bhagavad Gita are then studied in apposition with the principles of modern psychology. This study yields an interesting set of observations about the common ground between the two disciplines: indicating what Indian Psychology could learn from Modern Psychology; and the unique insights that Indian Psychology offers which could contribute to a better understanding and handling of human existential crisis and its resolution through better informed existential quests. In an attempt to give a practical orientation, the article examines briefly the principles of Indian psychology that influenced the life of three national leaders who have publicly acknowledged their debt to the Bhagavad Gita, having been life-long students of the text viz. Lokamanya Tilak, Sri Aurobindo and Mahatma Gandhi. The uniqueness of their personality/leadership will be correlated to the Bhagavad Gita’s repository of the Principles of Indian Psychology.

Pendidikan Karakter Anak melalui Metode Dialog dan Etika

Abstract: The family has a leading and strategic role in the formation of a child's personality, basic character or character. Islam places the family as the first and first basic educational institution. So great and the magnitude of the influence of the family in the education of children, so that Rasulullah SAW connected it with the values ​​of faith. Parents have the first and foremost responsibility in the education of their children. Children are seen as a tabula rasa, where parents are responsible for developing them, both in terms of language development, cultural traditions, and moral beliefs and practices. It is parents who play a role in developing good character in the lives of their children later in life. Ethical education, dialogue and assignment to educate children are excellent and effective methods of implementation. Children are a gift from God who will later grow up independent and free from parental supervision, therefore children must be equipped with strong faith and firm rules in carrying out their lives later. In general, parents and educators only make psychology books or parenting books for guidance in educating children. Rarely do they make the Al-Quran and Sunnah as a reference in implementing education. Islam is a religion of rahmatan lil alamin which has specific methods and methods for improving and educating children. The way of educating is of course adapted to the age level and maturity of the child's thinking. The conclusion from the results of the research that the author conducted shows that the concept of educating children with ethics, dialogue and giving assignments from an Islamic education perspective can be relevant not only in the family environment but also in the school and community environment.

1949-1982 Yılları Arasında Din Psikolojisi Alanında Yazılan Eserlerin Doküman Analizi Nitel Bir Değerlendirme

It has been tried to do document analysis together with content analysis about some terms in the works written between 1949 and 1982, which is assumed to be the first period of the psychology of religion. The terms researched are “şuur (consciousness)” and its derivatives in Ottoman, and “consciousness”, “subconscious”, “unconscious” terms which is the modern usage of the term “şuur” and “adolescent, puberty” terms of Western origin which correspond to the meanings of “ergen ve argenlik”. The frequency of the use of these terms in the books was determined and it was examined whether there was a change in time, and the scientific language in using the terms of the psychology of religion was tried to be understood in line with the qualitative method. As a result, the psychology of religion changes some of these terms over time, while others still use them. By examining whether the purposes and bibliographies of the early psychology books were similar or different, it was understood that these terms used in the books of the early psychology of religion kept pace with the language and psychology science language of that period and their changes over time. In addition, it is understood that the works written by theology-based religious psychologists do not only serve the science of psychology of religion, but also they have an individual, educational, political and social goals. Keywords: Psychology of Religion Books, Consciousness (Şuur), Ottoman Compositions, Terms of Western Origin, Document and Content Analysis.

An exemplary book on the training of the mind through the eyes of a doctor: Terbiyye-i Akliyye and philosophical investigation

Important steps were taken at every stage of the educational policies implemented in the Second Constitutional Period. The use of textbooks and new educational materials and techniques constitutes only a few of these steps. All kinds of thoughts were discussed in the periodicals of the period. During the Second Constitutional Period, when intellectual life was revived, new developments took place in many areas of social sciences, especially psychology. During this period, the copyright and translation of many psychology books were brought into the literature. One of these books is Dr. Avni Mahmud's work titled "Terbiyye-i Akliyye" (Education of the mind) written in 1335/1919. The work has a unique denominator both in illuminating the course of the educational history of the period and in the development of interdisciplinary relations. The purpose of this research is to analyze what kind of philosophical inferences are used in the categories of mind, emotion, and training of the will in the work named “Terbiyye-i Akliyye”. The work in question is enlightening at the point that the work in question is enlightening in that the period gives clues about education in general and philosophical approaches in education in particular.

Based on the categories and sub-themes of “Training the Mind Power” and “Training the Power of Emotion and Will”, the study concluded that it is not enough to train the mind alone, but that the mind can only be trained when the mind, emotion, and willpower are trained together.

"Never sacrifice anything to laboratory work": The "physiological psychology" of Charles Richet (1875-1905).

Whilst best known as a Nobel laureate physiologist, Charles Robert Richet (1850-1935) was also a pioneer of scientific psychology. Starting in 1875 Richet had a leading role in the habilitation of hypnosis, in the institutionalization of psychology in France, and in the introduction of methodological innovations. Authoring several psychology books, Richet's works contributed to the recognition of the scientific nature of the discipline. This role is often underplayed by some historians and psychology textbooks in favor of his later position as a proponent of the controversial discipline he christened metapsychics in 1905, which today lies within the province of parapsychology. In this article, we show how his psychological approach guided by physiology, or physiological psychology, facilitated the reception of psychology. We hypothesize a strong continuity between his physiological psychology and his metapsychics, as he himself considered metapsychics as an advanced branch of physiology, and thus also an outpost of psychology.

The Significance of Warm Colour in the Quran and Its Roles on Memory Performance

Colours are mentioned many times in the Holy Qur’an. Some are mentioned as colours in general, and some of them in specific; yellow, white, black, red, green and blue. Each colour has its special connotations in the Holy Qur’an and among these colours, yellow and red are considered as warm colours. This study aimed to find the significance of warm colours in the Holy Qur’an and its relationship to human psychology; focusing on memory performance. This research had used an inductive approach in terms of selecting Quranic verses; in which yellow and red colour were mentioned. These verses were then analysed by referring to the books of exegetical considerations in order to know the implications of these colours’ usage, as well as referring to psychology books and scientific articles. The research found that yellow and red colour in the Holy Qur’an mostly indicate attracting attention or pleasing viewers. Some examples included the yellow colour in resemblance to the colour of the cow, attention to decay and destruction such as yellow colour in the withering plants, and attention to resurrection like the red colour resembling scene of the Day of Resurrection. This indication in the Holy Qur’an is consistent with psychologists’ discovery; warm colours such as red and yellow are more effective and attractive in the process of transferring information from external to sensory memory, and thus to short-term and long-term memory.
