The Doctor and the Soul
Book • 2019
In 'The Doctor and the Soul', Viktor E. Frankl explores the foundations of logotherapy, a psychotherapeutic approach he founded.
The book discusses how humans inherently seek meaning in their lives, rather than being driven by sexual or societal needs as proposed by other psychological theories.
Frankl wrote the manuscript initially during the Nazi occupation of Austria and reconstructed it from memory while in concentration camps.
The book is divided into sections that cover the transition from psychotherapy to logotherapy, existential analysis, and the rehumanization of psychotherapy.
It also addresses the existential void in modern materialistic society and the importance of moral values and religion.
