#37 The Dr. Jerry Long Lecture Series Part 1

Click here to download 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.

#35 Interview with Mrs. Renee Feagans

Click here to download Interview with Mrs Renee Feagans.

During this year’s World Congress, I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Renee Feagans and her husband.  I learned that she listens to LogoTalk Radio before the World Congresses to get herself in the mood for the conferences.  Mrs. Feagans has been a guest at many of the World Congresses and has an involvement in logotherapy dating back several years.  

Now happily remarried, Mrs. Feagans was previously married to Dr. Jerry Long, an iconic name in the history of logotherapy who passed away in 2002.

While recovering from an accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down, Dr. Long wrote a letter to Viktor Frankl.  They soon became friends and, eventually, colleagues.  Dr. Long often appeared with Dr. Frankl at events around the world.  Dr. Frankl frequently spoke of Jerry Long's life as "a living testimony to logotherapy lived and the defiant power of the human spirit."

LogoTalk Radio is pleased to have Mrs. Feagans as our guest on today’s show.

#34 Interview and Dramatic Reading with Chef Rev. Dr. Lise Worthington

Click here to download Interview and Dramatic Reading with Chef Rev. Dr. Lise Worthington.

Rev. Dr. Lise Worthington, Chef and minister, trained at the Culinary Institute of America,  Hebrew Union Theological Seminary and Union Theological Seminary.  Her passion -- the love affair between food and faith -- influences not only her theology but a willingness to share the creative, spiritual and wisdom filled message:  food matters.

I met Dr. Worthington at this year’s World Congress where we both attended the advanced course in Logotherapy, Franklian Psychology:  The Theory and Therapy of Mental Disorders.  Dr. Worthington did a dramatic reading as part of the class that impressed me so much that I asked her to record it to share with our Logotalk Radio listeners.

Dr. Worthington also presented at the World Congress.  Her paper is entitled Babette’s Feast:  The Soul of a Chef – A Franklian Response to the Jungian’s Parable of Trauma.  Dr. Worthington's website is:
