Prof. Rachel Asagba is acknowledged as one of the pioneers of Logotherapy in Africa.
She visited Dr. Viktor Frankl in Vienna in the early 90s and completed her logotherapy training
with Dr. Elizabeth Lukas. She documents these in one of her books below
Snippets of Rachel's Logotherapy journey
She described her studies in Vienna and her vision for Nigeria in the following crucial article,
which was published in 1993. It includes a photo that was taken by Dr. Lukas' husband, Gerhard in Furstenfeldbruck, Germany. They would all remain good friends for the years to come.
