Synopsis

Born in 1905 in the center of the crumbling Austro-Hungarian Empire, Viktor Frankl was a witness to the great political, philosophical, and scientific upheavals of the twentieth century. In these stirring recollections, Frankl describes how as a young doctor of neurology in prewar Vienna his disagreements with Freud and Adler led to the development of "the third Viennese School of Psychotherapy," known as logotherapy; recounts his harrowing trials in four concentration camps during the War; and reflects on the celebrity brought by the publication of Man's Search for Meaning in 1945.

About Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl (1905–1997) became one of the great psychotherapists of the twentieth century. His interest in psychology began as a teenager. He earned a degree as a medical doctor and served at a psychiatric hospital. In 1942, he and his family were sent to Nazi concentration camps, where his wife, father, mother, and brother perished. After his release, he became a professor of neurology and psychiatry at the University of Vienna Medical School and was head of the neurological department of the Vienna Polyclinic Hospital for twenty-five years. He wrote thirty-one works on philosophy, psychotherapy, and neurology, including the international bestseller Man's Search for Meaning, based on his experiences as a concentration camp prisoners. He was the founder of the school of logotherapy, which came to be called the third Viennese School of Psychotherapy, after Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis and Alfred Adler's individual psychology.

Goodreads review by Tama

I first read Frankls famous work, Mans Search For Meaning, which made this slim autobiography really "pop' for me. The photos add another depth to the his remarkable life story.

Goodreads review by Rus

O autobiografie captivantă ca urmare a reflecțiilor personale extrem de pătrunzătoare și împânzite de un spirit umoristic aparte, dar și de o experiență de viață incapabilă de descris în doar câteva cuvinte.......more
