Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor Frankl was an internationally renowned psychiatrist. He endured years of horror in the Nazi death camps and partly because of this suffering he went on to develop a new approach to psychotherapy known as logotherapy. At the core of this theory is the belief that man's primary motivational force is a search for meaning. He died in 1997, aged 92.

Viktor Frankl Biography Viktor Frankl Institute Vienna

"We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement."

Man's Search for Meaning

Between stimulus and response is the freedom to choose.

Viktor E. Frankl, (1905 - 1997) Psychiatrist & Author

Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.
