From the author of Man's Search for Meaning, one of the most
influential works of psychiatric literature since Freud.
Holocaust survivor Viktor E. Frankl is known as the founder of
logotherapy, a mode of psychotherapy based on man's motivation to search
for meaning in his life. The author discusses his ideas in the context
of other prominent psychotherapies and describes the techniques he uses
with his patients to combat the "existential vacuum."
Originally published in 1969 and compiling Frankl's speeches on
logotherapy, The Will to Meaning is regarded as a seminal work of
meaning-centered therapy. This new and carefully re-edited version is
the first since 1988.
