Interviews with the Experts: Assignment Sheet
The Interviews with the Experts Videos are intended to extend your understanding of the
material in the textbook by giving you a behind-the-scenes look at aspects of personality and its
application by some of the leaders in the field. There are no right or wrong answers, but your
grade will be based on the nature, quality, and relevance of your responses.
1. Imagine that you are writing a brief description of this video for people who are
considering watching it. How would you characterize or summarize it (in 50-75 words).

relates to the “will of pleasure”. This therapy is to help people find their purpose in their
lives. This is more or less considered like “transcendence therapy”. The human

2. Identify any three “take-aways” that you got from this video. These could be any points
that it made, thoughts that it sparked, or issues or applications that it discussed.
Take-Away #1: Us humans strive to be our superior selves. Logotherapy helps to find
meaning in our existence.
Take-Away #2: Dr. Taylor does a visualization meditation sort of exercise and then asks
questions about how the visualization made them feel and what they were doing.
Take-Away #3: Logos means “thought” in greek.
3. Imagine that you are writing a review of this video that summarizes your evaluation of it.
Please indicate what you liked BEST and LEAST about the video and give it a rating
(based on a 5-star system). Note that the evaluation of your response is based on your
identifying the things you liked BEST and LEAST, and your assignment of rating, and
NOT the number stars you give it or whether you liked or disliked the video. Your
evaluations will be helpful in relation to encouraging you to reflect more deeply on the
video, and provide us with feedback that can be useful in relation to the value of the
video’s use in the future. Be sure to identify:
A). What I liked Best:
I love her visualization techniques. I listen to alot of mediations and subliminals on YT and they
have really helped me in manifesting a better version of myself and my life.
B). What I liked Least (or would like to have heard more about):
I wish she went more into what techniques logotherapy involves like what the treatment consists
