Man's search for meaning : an introduction to logotherapy
Viktor E. Frankl • 1959
Dr. Frankl, a psychiatrist, developed logotherapy, an existential analysis centered on finding meaning and responsibility in life. His theory emerged from his harrowing experiences in Nazi concentration camps, where he witnessed profound suffering and the loss of his family. The narrative details how individuals, even when stripped of everything, can choose their attitude and discover purpose through love, nature, and internal spiritual life. Frankl contrasts his "will-to-meaning" with Freudian psychoanalysis, emphasizing that suffering finds meaning when accepted as an inescapable part of existence. The book concludes by outlining logotherapy's core concepts, highlighting self-transcendence and humanity's inherent freedom to find meaning.
