Dr. Viktor Frankl

Dr. Viktor Frankl was an Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor who developed logotherapy, a form of psychotherapy emphasizing finding meaning in life. He believed that true happiness and psychological health derive from pursuing purpose, even amid suffering. Frankl’s experiences in concentration camps shaped his understanding that individuals can endure great hardships by identifying personal meaning and choosing their attitude towards circumstances. His work highlights the importance of purpose, responsibility, and inner resilience in mental well-being, making a lasting impact on psychology and human understanding of resilience in the face of adversity.
