Summary/Abstract: The article aims to present a new concept of risk behavior and addiction prevention, which is logoprophylaxis, as well as to show its place in the context of preventive activities. Logoprophylaxis is derived from Viktor E. Frankl’s concept of logotherapy. Its primary goal is to counteract existential crises resulting from a sense of lack of meaning in life, which in turn leads to such phenomena as addictions or risky behavior. The authors present sources, principles and strategies of logoprophylaxis and the possibilities of their application to the phenomenon of social anomie.
