Online Certificate Course, Asynchronous
Optional 8.0 CPA-Approved CE Credits
Date: Starting on November 6, 2023
Time: Asynchronous
Location: Online
COURSE DESCRIPTION
We are excited to launch this long-awaited Certificate Course! It is a unique course taught by the founder of both Applied Existential Positive Psychology (AEPP) and Integrative Meaning Therapy (IMT). This Certification is jointly offered by International Network on Personal Meaning (INPM) and the Meaning-Centred Counselling Institute (MCCI).
Module One of this certificate course is entitled “Adventures with Viktor Frankl and Advances in Logotherapy.” Dr. Viktor E. Frankl is universally recognized for his meaning-oriented therapy (logotherapy), but his contribution to the positive psychology of wellbeing and flourishing is still not widely known.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of this course, all participants will gain a deeper understanding of:
- How historical/cultural forces and the power of Frankl’s personality and intellect shaped his ideas and clinical practices.
- Frankl’s adventures in exploring the heights and depths of the human quest for meaning.
- Frankl’s revolutionary concepts of the height of our yearning for Ultimate meaning and the depth of our capacity to endure suffering as the antidote to suffering.
- Wong’s recent development of Frankl’s logotherapy as the foundation for a general theory of sustainable global flourishing.
PRESENTER
Dr. Paul T. P. Wong is the President of both INPM and MCCI. He is uniquely qualified to integrate more than 50 years of research and practice in existential psychology and positive psychology into an innovative way of simultaneously reducing human suffering and advancing global flourishing.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This is an intermediate level course for psychologists, counsellors, social workers, coaches, health care professionals, first responders, and educators.

Q: In what ways is this Certificate Course different from other applied positive psychology courses or existential therapy courses?
A: This course is unique in at least two important ways:
- It integrates applied positive psychology and existential therapy from the different perspectives of the West and the East. Thus, it is both integrative and multicultural in a seamless way because Dr. Wong (the course presenter) is a truly bicultural person.
- It contains a lot of proprietary materials based on Dr. Wong’s 50 years of research and practice.
