Abstract
This paper describes a logotherapy meaning-centered therapeutic recreation model based on Viktor Frankl’s will to meaning theory and his centrifugal and centrip-etal leisure dichotomy.This manuscript introduces a therapeutic recreation meaning-centered intervention grounded in existentialism and logotherapy, with its focus on human suffering-meaning potentials and self-transcendence. Therapeutic recreation application begins with an assessment focused on understanding the client’s values and meaning potentials then links leisure as a way to discover or experience meaning. Primary intervention strategies are search for meaning and Socratic and ma-ieutic dialog linked to leisure interest finders to help cli-ents experience centripetal leisure. The paper presents an intervention applying these strategies. A concluding sec-tion offers recommendations for education and research.
