An introduction to Viktor E. Frankl's system of thought, from the author of the iconic Holocaust memoir Man's Search for Meaning.
Binding: Paperback
Date Published: 06 Feb 2025
The Will to Meaning contains three short lessons in logotherapy, the system of psychotherapy Frankl pioneered that transforms despair into hope.'As logotherapy teaches, even the tragic and negative aspects of life, such as unavoidable suffering, can be turned into a human achievement by the attitude which a man adopts toward his predicament. In contrast to most of the existentialist schools of thought, logotherapy is in no way pessimistic; but it is realistic in that it faces the tragic triad of human existence: pain, death, and guilt. Logotherapy may justly be called optimistic, because it shows the patient how to transform despair into triumph.'
Viktor E. Frankl (1905-1997) was Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at the University of Vienna. During World War II, he spent three years in Auschwitz, Dachau, and other concentration camps. He was the founder of the Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy, logotherapy. His twenty-nine books have been translated into twenty-one languages.
