This presentation was delivered by Dr. Marshall H. Lewis at the Vienna Medical Society's historic Billrothhaus on May 17, 2014 during the Second Future of Logotherapy Conference. Dr. Lewis compares the published empirical evidence for the efficacy of logotherapy to the evidence-based practice guidelines of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) in the United States. Therapists gain a working knowledge of the evidence base of logotherapy and come to understand how that body of research compares to a leading standard for the determination of psychotherapy effectiveness. Suggestions are made on how logotherapists can provide practice-based evidence, including participation in a Kansas Global Initiative for Meaningful Health.
