Logotherapy is a psycological theory-practice system created by the Viennese psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, which became famous worldwide because of the book “In Search of Meaning “(A Psychologist in a concentration camp), in which Frankl explained about his experiences in the Nazi prisons and launched his line of thought. This is the subject of this week’s editorial, entitled Logotherapy is a step in the connection between science and religion

One of the highlights of the week is the interview conceded by our confrere Gilmar de Oliveira Cândido, from Minas Gerais state, to our colleague Orson Peter Carrara. Gilmar speaks about the foundation of the first spiritist centre, Fraternidade Espírita Emmanuel (Emmanuel Spiritist Fraternity) in the small city of “Tiros”, which is located in the country side of Minas Gerais State.

Another highlight of this edition is the special from Leda Maria Flaborea, from São Paulo (SP), in which she examines the theme automatism and perispirit or spiritual body, which is, according to the spiritist doctrine, what models our physical body. The article will be published in two parts: the conclusion will be presented in the next edition.

During the 3rd Brazilian Spiritist Congress, one of the highlights was the press conference conceded to journalists by the confreres Nestor Masotti, president of FEB, Divaldo Franco and Raul Teixeira, as shown in the article by Gabriela Abreu, which is also one of the highlights of this edition.
