Viktor E. Frankl, M.D., Ph.D., distinguished professor of logotherapy at the United States International University, and visiting clinical professor of psychiatry at Stanford University, is the leader and originator of the school of logotherapy or existential analysis. He is also the author of 27 books that have been translated into 18 languages, including Japanese and Chinese.
After three grim y ears at Auschwitz and other Nazi prisons, Dr. Frankl gained freedom only to learn that almost his entire family had been wiped out. But during, and indeed partly because of, the incredible suffering and degradation of those harrowing years, he developed his theory of logotherapy.
In his preface to this book, Harvard University's Grodon W. Allport calls it "an introduction to the most significant psychological movement in our day."
"...perhaps the most significant thinking since Freud and Adler."

Work Description
Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Based on his own experience and the stories of his patients, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. At the heart of his theory, known as logotherapy, is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful. Man's Search for Meaning has become one of the most influential books in America; it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living.
