Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor Frankl was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist best known for his profound contributions to psychology through his development of logotherapy, a therapeutic approach centred around finding meaning in life.

Born on March 26, 1905, he experienced the harrowing depths of human suffering while imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. It was amid this extreme adversity that he observed that those who found meaning and purpose in their suffering were more likely to survive. His experiences led to the publication of his seminal work, "Man's Search for Meaning," which delves into the importance of meaning in life, even in the bleakest circumstances. Frankl's insights continue to resonate, influencing not only psychotherapy but also broader discussions on resilience, purpose, and the human condition. Through his legacy, he reminds us that even in overwhelming despair, the search for meaning can empower individuals to transcend their suffering and lead more fulfilling lives.
