Résumé

We live in a time of profound social and existential upheaval. Global concerns about existential threats are increasingly prevalent in media coverage, particularly in relation to the war in Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Personnel in the Swedish Armed Forces are not immune to the stress caused by this turbulent environment. One approach to alleviating the stress experienced by military personnel is the introduction of military soul care management as part of a staff care initiative. This method draws on Viktor Frankl’ s logotherapeutic techniques, including Socratic dialogue, paradoxical intention, and de-reflection. The goal of military soul care management is to recognize army personnel as holistic beings – physically, psychologically, and spiritually – and to strengthen their resilience.
