In the stirring recollections and reflections presented in this autobiographical volume, the author, for the first time, describes his childhood and youth, as well as his experiences as a young doctor of neurology in prewar Vienna. Dr. Frankl recalls his early disagreements with Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, and considers the impact of these disputes on the development of Logotherapy, deemed the "third Viennese School of Psycotherapy." Toward the end of World War II, Frankl was arrested and deported, as was his entire family. The description of his harrowing experiences in four concentration camps, including Dachau and Auschwitz, is of unforgettable intensity and interest. After his liberation by American troops in 1945, Frankl returned to Vienna to discover that none of his family had survived. Slowly and painfully, he started to build a new life. In the postwar years, Frankl's philosophical and psychological ideas caught the attention of a worldwide public. On numerous lecture tours throughout the world, he met some of the most famous figures of our time - Pope Paul VI, First Lady Mamie Eisenhower, philosopher Martin Heidegger - Dr. Frankl's anecdotes and reflections on these encounters are highlights of the narrative. Viktor Frankl - Recollections: An Autobiography is augmented by numerous heretofore unpublished photographs from Frankl's private archives. Dr. Frankl's words of undeniable power and insight make this volume a classic on par with his earlier Man's Search for Meaning, an international bestseller since its publication over 30 years ago. This is an indispensable memoir that will fascinate his millions of readers as well as professionals in psychology, social work, psychiatry, counseling, philosophy, and the clergy.

First published in 1946, Viktor Frankl’s memoir Man’s Search for Meaning remains one of the most influential books of the last century, selling over ten million copies worldwide and having been embraced by successive generations of readers captivated by its author’s philosophical journey in the wake of the Holocaust. This long-overdue reappraisal examines Frankl’s life and intellectual evolution anew, from his early immersion in Freudian and Adlerian theory to his development of the “third Viennese school” amid the National Socialist domination of professional psychotherapy. It teases out the fascinating contradictions and ambiguities surrounding his years in Nazi Europe, including the experimental medical procedures he oversaw in occupied Austria and a stopover at the Auschwitz concentration camp far briefer than has commonly been assumed. Throughout, author Timothy Pytell gives a penetrating but fair-minded account of a man whose paradoxical embodiment of asceticism, celebrity, tradition, and self-reinvention drew together the complex strands of twentieth-century intellectual life.

This book accomplishes two distinct tasks. First, it develops the psychological theory of Dr. Viktor E. Frankl as a literary hermeneutic. Second, it applies the hermeneutic by reading the book of Job. Key issues emerge through three movements. The first movement addresses Frankl’s concept of the feeling of meaninglessness and his rejection of reductionism and nihilism. The second movement addresses the dual nature of meaning; an association is revealed between Frankl’s understanding of meaning and the Joban understanding of wisdom. The third movement involves an exploration of Frankl’s ideas of ultimate meaning and self-transcendence. As a Holocaust survivor, Frankl had a personal stake in the effectiveness of his approach. He lived the suffering about which he wrote. Because of this, reading the book of Job with a hermeneutic based on Frankl’s ideas will present readers with opportunities to discover unique meanings and serve to clarify their attitudes toward pain, guilt, and death. As meaning is discovered through participation with the text, we will see that Job’s final response can become a site for transcending suffering.

Viktor Frankl's Contribution to Spirituality and Aging 0.64

A comprehensive view of the life, work, and ideas of one of the creative giants of modern American design Arriving in the United States in 1914, Viennese-born Paul T. Frankl (1886–1958) brought with him an outsider’s fresh perspective and an enthusiasm for forging a uniquely American design aesthetic. In the years between the two world wars he, more than any other designer, helped shape the distinctive look of American modernism. This authoritative book draws on an extensive collection of unpublished documents and family papers and photographs to provide the first full account of Frankl’s life and ideas. The book also explores the history of modern American design and the extent of Frankl’s influence on its trajectory. In the early 1920s, Frankl opened a New York City shop that became an epicenter of American modernism. Over the next decades, his work encompassed everything from individual pieces of furniture and decorative accessories to entire interiors, and his style continuously evolved, from early “Skyscraper” furniture to relaxed and casual designs favored by the Hollywood elite in the 1930s to manufactured pieces for the mass market in the 1950s. The book charts the impact of Frankl’s ideas on merchants and consumers, on his fellow designers, and on the changing look of American homes and workplaces. With close to 170 illustrations, Paul T. Frankl and Modern American Design is an essential reference on 20th-century design.

When he was a teenager in Austria, Viktor Frankl began developing logotherapy, a revolutionary form of psychotherapy based on the belief that humanity’s primary motivational force is the search for meaning. Unlike most forms of psychotherapy, logotherapy encourages patients to look to the future and live their lives fully, rather than relive the past. Then something happened that put Frankl’s philosophies to the test: He and his wife and parents were sent to a concentration camp. Frankl survived; his family did not. In his grief, Viktor turned to his work. The outcome was his magnum opus: Man’s Search for Meaning, an account of life in the camps from the point of view not only of a survivor but a psychologist. The writing of this book saved Viktor in his darkest hour and was the beginning of a new start in what was to be a long and rewarding life. Man's Search for Meaning went on to become one of the most influential books of our time. This thoroughly researched biography is a compelling account of one man’s struggles and, ultimately, his triumphant success in forging a life worth living. Author’s note, bibliography, end notes.

This book is about the stories of two remarkable individuals whose struggles, sufferings and triumphs have inspired countless people throughout the world to transform personal suffering into opportunities for personal growth as well as living lives that focus on commitment and service. Viktor Frankl's concept of the need for meaning in overcoming life s difficulties was simple yet profound, abstract yet practical. He saw serious limitations in the sense that they had neglected a deeper dimension to human existence that did not simply seek comfort from physical and psychological turmoil, but sought meaning. He referred to this uniquely human dimension as the noëtic dimension. Leo Tolstoy, who was a giant of Russian literature, is used expand this study. Very much like Frankl, Tolstoy spent many years of his life searching for the meaning of life. He, too, found a life without meaning as inauthentic, filled with distractions, and difficult, if not impossible, to live and to survive.

Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Think “good” and search for more meaning in your life. Amidst the horrors of Auschwitz, a daring Jewish psychiatrist revealed one of the two secrets to overcoming depression and anxiety. Viktor Frankl, the founder of logotherapy (the therapy of meaning) found that “those who knew that there was a task waiting for them to fulfill were most apt to survive the concentration camps.” Frankl was not just referring to those interned in the camps or held captive as prisoners of war. He was offering a path forward for all people facing challenges—whether physical or emotional—to look beyond the limits of self and into the world of meaning and spirituality. Over one hundred years earlier, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn of Lubavitch (1789-1866), known as the Tzemach Tzedek, the venerable leader of the Chabad Chasidic movement, shared the other secret for achieving happiness and emotional well-being when he said, “Think good and it will be good.” This spiritual and psychological principle has the power to transform feelings of sadness or worry, freeing your mind to focus on the goodness inherent in people and situations. In Think Good and It Will Be Good you’ll learn how the insights of Frankl and Jewish wisdom form the basis of Torah Psychology, a spiritually-focused therapy that can help you find meaning and purpose, think positively, and inspire optimism in your life.
