Internationally renowned psychiatrist, Viktor E. Frankl, endured years of unspeakable horror in Nazi death camps. During, and partly because of his suffering, Dr. Frankl developed a revolutionary approach to psychotherapy known as logotherapy. At the core of his theory is the belief that man's primary motivational force is his search for meaning. (back cover)

4 stars

Frankl's description of his terrible experiences in a Nazi concentration camp were clinical but also humanistic. I learned some things from his 'logotherapy' (meaning-therapy).
