Viktor Emil Frankl (1905-1997) was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy, which is a form of existential analysis, the "Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy".
His best-selling book "Man's Search for Meaning" (published under a different title in 1959: "From Death-Camp to Existentialism," and originally published in 1946 as "Trotzdem Ja Zum Leben Sagen: Ein Psychologe erlebt das Konzentrationslager," meaning "Nevertheless, Say 'Yes' to Life: A Psychologist Experiences the Concentration Camp") chronicles his experiences as a concentration camp inmate, which led him to discover the importance of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most brutal ones, and thus, a reason to continue living.
Frankl became one of the key figures in existential therapy and a prominent source of inspiration for humanistic psychologists.
