«El hombre en busca de sentido» is the psychology essay by Viktor Emil Frankl, published by Herder in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The psychiatrist and survivor Viktor Frankl explains how his experience in the concentration camps led him to formulate logotherapy, centered on the search for meaning. Those who find a purpose —a child, a talent, a memory— can maintain hope in extreme conditions. The work combines testimony, philosophy and clinical practice.
Work originally published in 1946 as «Ein Psychologe erlebt das Konzentrationslager»; this Spanish edition, translated by Christine Kopplhuber and Gabriel Insausti Herrero, dates from 2004.
Aimed at readers of psychology, philosophy and survival memoirs, and at those approaching logotherapy for the first time.
Viktor Emil Frankl was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, philosopher, and Holocaust survivor, who founded logotherapy, a school of psychotherapy that describes a search for a life's meaning as the central human motivational force. Logotherapy is part of existential and humanistic psychology theories.
