Description
Description:
Actually, namely historically (as well as autobiographically), “existentialism” preceded “concentration camp”- to be sure, existentialism only in the sense of something to teach and to learn, rather than – to live . .. Reminiscenses, episodes, and anecdotes will be illustrated by pertinent slides.
Educational Objectives:
- Proof of the essentially human capacities of self-detachment and self-transcendence
- To encounter the pioneers in the field of psychotherapy and philosophy through a slide presentation

Viktor Emil Frankl, MD, PhD, Ā was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy, which is a form of existential analysis, the “Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy”. Ā He received his MD and PhD degrees from the University of Vienna where he studied psychiatry and neurology, focusing on the areas of suicide and depression.
His best-selling book Man’s Search for Meaning (published under a different title in 1959: From Death-Camp to Existentialism, and originally published in 1946 as Trotzdem Ja Zum Leben Sagen: Ein Psychologe erlebt das Konzentrationslager, meaning Nevertheless, Say “Yes” to Life: A Psychologist Experiences the Concentration Camp) chronicles his experiences as a concentration camp inmate, which led him to discover the importance of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most brutal ones, and thus, a reason to continue living. Frankl became one of the key figures in existential therapy and a prominent source of inspiration for humanistic psychologists.
