Abstract
In this article, the authors integrate Viktor Frankl's concept of the ''Will to Meaning'' with a family-life-cycle model. This integration o ffers an overview of the opportunities for spiritual growth and the de velopment of a sense of purpose for both the family and its individual members. Clinical illustrations highlight applications of the approac h in actual practice.
