LOGOTHERAPY - Viktor E. Frankl - “Man's Search for Meaning”

Man is capable of resisting and braving even the worst conditions.
- Viktor E. Frankl


During my last visit to Poland my sister gave me a small book “Man's Search for Meaning” by Victor E. Frankl. After reading it I felt like I ought to pass it to my friends or those who are looking for a sense of purpose and meaning in the life.  

Then I deepen my research about the author - LOGOTHERAPY - popped along with - Viktor Frankl, a neurologist and psychiatrist; the Holocaust survivor.

LOGOTHERAPY meaning, definition & explanation

What does LOGOTHERAPY mean exactly?
LOGO derived from a Greek word variously meaning "word", "speech", "ground", "plea", "opinion", "expectation", "account", "reason", "proportion", and "discourse"
THERAPY - from Greek therapeia means "curing, healing, service done to the sick; a waiting on, service,"

What is LOGOTHERAPY?
LOGOTHERAPY concept is based on the premise that the primary motivational force of an individual is to find a meaning in life. A short introduction to this system is given in Frankl's most famous book, “Man's Search for Meaning,” in which he outlines how his theories helped him to survive his Holocaust experience and how that experience further developed and reinforced his theories.

The basic principles of LOGOTHERAPY:
  • Life has meaning under all circumstances, even the most miserable ones.
  • Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life.
  • We have freedom to find meaning in what we do, and what we experience, or at least in the stand we take when faced with a situation of unchangeable suffering.
