Viktor E. Frankl (1905-1997) was an Austrian neurologist and
pyschiatrist, and a Holocaust survivor. He was the founder of
logotherapy, which has come to be called the Third Viennese School
of Psychotherapy (after Freud's psychoanalysis and Adler's
individual psychology).
Dr. Frankl's first article was published in 1924 in the
International Journal of Psychoanalysis, and he went on
to write twenty-seven books, which have been translated into
virtually every major language in the world. The American
edition of his book Man's Search for Meaning has sold millions
of copies.
A professor of neurology and psychiatry at the University of Vienna
Medical School and distinguished professor of logotherapy at the
United States International University in San Diego, California,
Dr. Frankl was also a visiting professor at Harvard, Southern
Methodist, Stanford, and Duquesne universities, and received
honorary doctorate degrees from twelve universities. He
was president of Austrian Medical Society of Psychotherapy and
an honorary member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. In
1985 he was awarded the Oskar Pfister Award by the American
Psychiatric Association.
Dr. Frankl's works in English translation include The Doctor and
Soul: From Psychotherapy to Logotherapy; Man's Search for Meaning:
An Introduction to Logotherapy; Psychotherapy and Existentialism:
Selected Papers in Logotherapy; The Will to Meaning: Foundations
and Applications of Logotherapy; The Unconscious God: Psychotherapy
and Theology; and The Unheard Cry for Meaning: Psychotherapy and
Humanism.

conviction, it contains many valuable practical hints."- American
Journal of Psychotherapy

Unconditional faith in an unconditional meaning is Dr. Frankl's
message to the reader."- American Journal of Psychiatry
