In this work, I will say something about Victor Frankl's logotherapy and its possible implementation in the process of formal education. Logotherapy, also called the Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy, is an approach to psychotherapy established in the twentieth century. Its two basic premises are the meaning that defines one's actions, and the spiritual dimension that is specific for the human species and its existence, for the spiritual dimension is the reason why people overcome all their other needs and urges and change the world around them by acting responsibly. The important task of the teacher is to discover values together with his/her pupils, and to help their pupils apply them in their everyday lives. Personal system of values is very important for logotherapy because the lack of it causes the feeling of emotional emptiness. The need for meaning is the most important man's need and it is a part of one's spiritual dimension that differentiates human species from all the other living beings. Because of the presence of spirituality and freedom that spirituality enables, people have the duty to act responsibly and due to their conscience. Regarding the application of the basic premises of Frankl's logotherapy in formal education, it is important that students have an opportunity to read those literary works that deal with the idea of finding meaning and to encourage students to talk about values. Teachers must adjust the list of mandatory reading so that the problems that the books deal with will be somehow familiar to the pupils. School has the task to motivate pupils to develop their affinity for reading by giving them books that are appropriate for the pupils' age and the time they live in. The main goal of mandatory reading is to encourage students to read in their leisure time, so they could develop their reading abilities and the love for reading itself. It is important to emphasize the problems that can be found in the books and to talk about them in class. Horvat’s Waitapu is a book that talks about finding meaning and crossing the barriers. By analysing the ideas that can be found in the book, I will explain why exactly I have chosen this book and why I consider it is important for teaching pupils about finding their own meaning.
