The Viennese psychiatrist and neurologist, Viktor E. Frankl, was the founder of Logotherapy, the third Viennese school of psychiatry, Freudian and Adlerian being the other two. Frankl's system of Logotherapy is concerned with helping people find meaning in their lives. He developed this system before spending several years in Nazi concentration camps, and afterwards he systematised and popularised it in many books and papers. His book Man's Search for Meaning has influenced millions of people worldwide. Through his talks, travels and writings, Frankl has had a huge impact on the lives of countless people. Written in a Brechtian style with 24 scenes, Meaning is a biographical play relating the most critical times in Frankl's life. The words of Frankl and his colleague in the play are taken almost verbatim from Frankl's own writings, making this biographical drama almost autobiographical. Well illustrated with photographs of Frankl and of relevant locations, Meaning presents this extraordinary man's life in a dramatic and readable style. It will appeal to those who know of Frankl's work, and inspire those new to his writings and life to learn much more about this remarkable man and his contributions to humanity.
