In his summary ofthe possible future oflogotherapy, David Guttmann refers to the present world-order. He said that as the world we live in turns increasingly violent, cold and impersonal, technical, computerized, automated and atomized, the more there is a need for a theory thatelevates men - rather than pulls them further down. He wrote that while psychoanalysis is slowly fading away, making way in the process to new schools ofpsychotherapy, the "height psychology" ofViktor Frankl is making inroads to every part ofthe globe. Countries experiencing tremendous economic and political changes, such as in the former Eastern bloc, are particularly ready to accept Franklian ideas, but the same applies to countries in Central and South America, Africa, and Asia, as well as in the industrialized parts ofthe world. Guttmann is among those who believe that logo therapy will become the therapy ofthe 21st century because ofits humanistic credo (1996:12). Logotherapists openly would say that their techniques and/or methods are not exclu sive methods that must be used on their own, but they are all aids that can assist in the therapeutic or healing process. However, again it is the client/patient that must decide and must make a choice about the way he/she is going to deal with the parti cular psychosocial and/or environmental problem. Jim Davis (1998/1999:46) said in his article, rethinking the process ofglobalization, that globalization inter alia means that one understands where things are coming from and where they are going. This remark is important, especially in the light of the present tendency ofmany who want to move towards economic and political globalization. 126
Electronically-speaking the world is already seen as a "global village" via the internet and satellite-telecommunications. With regard to the remark ofJim Davis and the present globalization-process, logotherapists would emphasize from their side that without meaning-orientation there is no way a person will be able to truly understands where he/she fits into this global process. Viktor Frankl's belief, based on the philosopher Nietsche, "He who has a why to live, can bear with almost any how", is not just another proverbial saying. It reflects the deep-seated and deep-rooted experience ofa man, who infacto could testify about the truth ofthis belief. This belief, with regard to meaning orientation, makes logotherapy at present one ofthe greatest psychological aids 'and/or therapeutic techniques in history, even beyond the year 2000 - at least in the eyes ofits practitioners. 127
