Resilience

In Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl quoted the philosopher Nietsche, “He who has a Why to live for can bear almost any How” (Frankl. 1946). This is a poignant reflection for people with disabilities. People with disabilities find logotherapy is a tool to understand their disability and to build resilience in the face of adversity. According to this theoretical approach, the human spirit has great potential for developing resistance to facing adversity. Logotherapy and the concept of resilience both recognize that transforming difficulties into new opportunities, thereby ending a pathological focus on deficits, helps people resist and recover from adversity. People with disabilities are given the ability to self-transcend, distance themselves from their problems and recognize the values of their situations thanks to the logotherapy perspective which encompasses not only the psychological and biological point of view, but the spiritual one as well (Garcia, 2013). Counselling the disabled with logotherapy, Harold Kushner often encourages his patients to follow Frankl’s advice and tells them that while fate, or life circumstances, can take everything away from them; it cannot take away their freedom to choose how they respond to their losses (Frankl, 1946).
