«El hombre en busca de sentido» is the autobiographical essay by Viktor Emil Frankl, published by Herder Editorial in hardback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The psychiatrist Viktor Frankl recounts his experience as a prisoner in the concentration camps and explains that those who found a meaning could remain clinging to life. From these experiences he presents logotherapy, a therapy focused on discovering a purpose, and shows how suffering becomes bearable when it is oriented towards a value or a person.
Original work: «Ein Psychologe erlebt das Konzentrationslager». Translated from German by Christine Kopplhuber and Gabriel Insausti Herrero, with collaboration from José Benigno Freire.
For readers interested in psychology, in the historical testimony of the Holocaust, and in the search for meaning in extreme situations.
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.
