A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that both he and others in Auschwitz coped (or didn't) with the experience. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Only those who allowed their inner hold on their moral and spiritual selves to subside eventually fell victim to the camp's degenerating influence - while those who made a victory of those experiences turned them into an inner triumph. Frankl came to believe man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl foi o fundador da escola psicoterapêutica chamada «Logoterapia e Análise Existencial», que é considerada por muitos autores como a «terceira escola de psicoterapia vienense», depois da Psicanálise de Sigmund Freud e da «Psicologia Individual» de Alfred Adler. É um dos autores e clínicos mais proeminentes da história da Psicoterapia e autor de algumas das reflexões mais originais sobre a condição humana. De origem judaica, nasceu em 1905 em Viena, tendo-se interessado desde muito cedo por Psiquiatria e Psicoterapia. Formou-se em Medicina na Universidade de Viena e especializou-se em Neurologia e Psiquiatria. Em 1942, Viktor Frankl, a mulher, Tilly, o irmão, Walter, e os pais, Gabriel e Elsa, foram presos e deportados para o gueto de Theresienstadt e mais tarde para Auschwitz. Os únicos sobreviventes foram Viktor Frankl e a irmã, Stella. Após a guerra, Viktor Frankl regressou a Viena, à prática psicoterapêutica e à carreira de docência universitária. Os seus livros conheceram um tremendo sucesso internacional, e foi Professor Convidado em universidades de todo o mundo.
