This is an automatically translated description
Three years of imprisonment in the Dachau and Auschwitz concentration camps, hunger, humiliation, inhuman cruelty and suffering - not everyone could survive in such conditions, and only Viktor Frankl, an Austrian psychologist and philosopher, the founder of logotherapy, dared to write a life-affirming work about his experience.
«Man in Search of True Meaning. A Psychologist in a Concentration Camp has sold 10 million copies and has been translated into 24 languages. The book consists of two parts: the imprisonment itself, a description of life in the concentration camp, and the explanation, observation, and derivation of a new psychiatric method - logotherapy and the introduction of the concept of proactivity.
According to his theories, free will lies between the events that have befallen a person and his attitude towards them. In other words, we choose how to relate to our lives and the world
around us. Modern psychiatry still relies on the theses derived by Frankl and recognises his enormous contribution to the search for meaning and motivation of human existence.
