Books by Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor Frankl (1905–1997) was an Austrian psychiatrist and neurologist who founded logotherapy, a form of existential analysis. He survived four Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz and Dachau, after being deported in 1942. Before the war he had already developed the core ideas of logotherapy; the camps became both a test and a deepening of that work. He went on to write more than 30 books, including The Will to Meaning and The Doctor and the Soul, and lectured at universities on five continents. He held professorships in Vienna and San Diego and received honorary degrees from more than 25 universities worldwide.
