and long-range plans that related to values identified and goals set in the group 6 men reported as having discovered meaning that was directing their life. Twelve men reported moderate success in having found meaning in that they had discovered new interest, self-esteem, and direction for the future. Two men reported only discovery of possible alternatives for future attempts to gain release or find work. Post-group scores on the Purpose-in-Life test improved for every group member. The average score had increased from 81 to 96. Fourteen men had scores above the cutoff score of 100 reported to reflect a purpose and meaning in life.

General Notes: These positive test score changes are consistent with changes noted in other

logotherapy programs conducted with incarcerated adults (Guidera and

Whiddon)

and with chronic mental patients (Guidera and Whiddon) found an average increase of nine points (post-test average 93) on the Purpose-in-Life test for prisoners exposed to a brief logotherapy program. At the same time a control group of prisoners showed a 3-point increase and a group of prisoners spending an equal amount of time at a religious seminar showed a 2-point decrease.
