Kindly note that from 1 January 2019, a practicing Logotherapist in South Africa must hold current VFISA membership and, after the first year of qualification, must also hold current membership with The Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy of the United States of America (VFILUSA). As the recognised South African Logotherapy Institute, VFISA must ensure that any person who practices Logotherapy, and uses a title related to Logotherapy, has studied an appropriate and recognised Logotherapy course. The implication of this requirement is that any person who practices Logotherapy in South Africa must register for membership with both VFISA and VFILUSA annually.
