Book Description
Psychiatrist and neurologist, Viktor E. Frankl, was the founder of Logotherapy, the third Viennese school of psychiatry, concerned with helping people find meaning in their lives. “Meaning” is a biography in play form. Using many of his own words, the play focuses on key moments in Frankl’s life: it explores his experiences in a Nazi concentration camp, his development of Logotherapy and his insights into the human condition. His book “Man’s Search for Meaning” has influenced millions of people worldwide. Richly illustrated with photographs of Frankl’s life and times, including both painful images of imprisonment in the camps and joyful family portraits, “Meaning” presents this extraordinary man’s life in a dramatic and readable style. It will appeal to those familiar with Frankl’s work, and inspire new readers to learn more about this remarkable man and his contribution to the cause of humanity. “‘Meaning’ brings Frankl to life in full dimension – his spirit, determination, wisdom, and integrity.” – Jeffrey K. Zeig PhD, Director, The Milton H. Erickson Foundation.
