From Biography to Therapy. The Life of Viktor E. Frankl as the Locus of the Logotherapeutic Model of Psychotherapy

Summary/Abstract: This article explores the connection between Viktor Frankl’s personal experiences and the foundations of logotherapy, which he developed. Frankl, a psychiatrist, neurologist, and author of the bestselling book Man’s Search for Meaning discovered through his own suffering in concentration camps that the search for meaning is a key motive of human life. Logotherapy, as the third Viennese school of psychotherapy, focuses on the existential aspects of the human condition, emphasizing the will to meaning as the most significant motivating factor. The article also analyzes therapeutic techniques such as humor and gratitude that Frankl used in practice to help patients find meaning in difficult life circumstances. His biography, interwoven with tragic experiences and a universal message, serves as a strong argument for the credibility of logotherapy as a therapeutic method.
