#39 Interview and Poetry Reading with Tanja Vu



Tatjana Vucinic, MSc, known in the art world as Tanja Vu, is a Croatian psychologist, editor and poet who writes music and sings her poetry.  Most of her poems deal with eternal subjects such as human spirituality, inner explorations, unconditional love and the importance of bringing hope and feelings of limitless possibilities.

Tanja holds the Master of Science degree in Health Psychology from Leiden University in The Netherlands.  She lives and works in her native Zagreb, Croatia.  Tanja believes that Croatia has a great hunger for more knowledge of Viktor Frankl’s work and notes that interest in the area of personal meaning is growing in her country.  Frankl's books are extremely popular among Croatians.

Tanja is author of The Whisperer, a book of meaning-centered poetry recently published on Amazon.com.

#38 Interview with Dr. Kuo Liu-Hsiu



Dr. Kuo Liu Hsiu is originally from Taiwan.  She has lived and studied in Germany and completed a Doctoral degree in Music in the U.S.  She plays many instruments and her music has allowed her to perform all over the world, most memorably for Mikhail Gorbachev and the Queen of Jordan.  Dr. Kuo also played at the 50th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and the 50th anniversary of the founding of Israel, as well as a Middle East peace concert.  She has played to accompany poetry, dance and films.  Her experience includes touring and producing CD collections for commercial release.  Most recently, Dr. Kuo was a visiting professor in China during the 2007 school year.  While there she started the first music therapy concerts in southwest China to assist those with trauma from the 2008 earthquake.

Dr. Kuo also played the harp during the 2011 awards ceremony of the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy (USA) where I first heard her perform live.

Lui Hsiu is the originator of the The MusicMap, a project grounded in logotherapy and which seeks to discover meaning through music. The MusicMap™© project has two goals: the first is to help people know themselves better by recalling how music has affected them throughout their lives; the second is to help the public to be aware of their sound environment and the proper use of music for wellbeing.

#37 The Dr. Jerry Long Lecture Series Part 1


This podcast begins an exciting new project for 2012:

The Dr. Jerry Long Lecture Series

The first lecture in the series is recorded at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, USA in 1993.

Jerry Long is an iconic name in the history of logotherapy.  Following an accident that left him paralyzed and ended his promising sports career, Jerry Long discovered Viktor Frankl and the book Man’s Search for Meaning.  He wrote a letter to Viktor Frankl and the two soon became good friends.  Jerry Long became a psychologist and logotherapist and often traveled and lectured with Viktor Frankl to audiences around the world.

Jerry Long passed away in 2002.

With the kind permission of his widow, Mrs. Renee Feagans, audio and video archives of Dr. Jerry Long have now been made available to LogoTalk Radio and will be presented throughout the year. This material has not been presented to an international audience for more than 10 years.

Mrs. Feagans was our guest on LogoTalk Radio #35.
