Elisabeth Lukas

Elisabeth Lukas (born 12 November 1942) is an Austrian psychiatrist and is one of the central figures in logotherapy, a branch of psychotherapy founded by Viktor Frankl.[1] Lukas is an author of 30 books, translated into 16 languages.[2]

Lukas developed a Logo-Test to measure Viktor Frankl's principles of logotherapy,[3] primarily the perceived degree of meaning in life on the part of the individual. The test also attempts to measure possible noogenic neurosis.[4][5]
