Noogenic neurosis is a term in logotherapy denoting a form of neurosis stemming from "existential frustration" (see existential crisis). The term was coined by Dr. Viktor Frankl, the founder of logotherapy. [1]
Noogenic refers to the noetic or spiritual dimension in humans. [2]
Frankl contended that this new type of neurosis increased in the recent years. [3] He estimated that 20% of all neurotic cases were also cases of noogenic neurosis. [4]
