"IF YOU READ BUT ONE BOOK THIS YEAR, DR. FRANKL'S BOOK SHOULD BE THAT ONE." —Los Angeles Times

DR. VIKTOR E. FRANKL is Europe's leading psychiatrist. His new theory, logotherapy, has rocketed him to fame as the leader of the Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy and the most significant modern thinker in the field. Since 1961, when he was visiting professor at Harvard University's summer school, Dr. Frankl has been a frequent lecturer in this country. "The story of a man who became a number who became a person. Today Frankl is one of the most gifted of all psychiatrists. Frankl developed his ideas, now generally known as the Third School of Viennese Psychiatry—the school of logotherapy. The incredible attempts to dehumanize man at the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Dachau led Frankl to commence the humanization of psychiatry through logotherapy. Frankl is a professional who possesses the rare ability to write in a layman's language." —Gerald F. Kreyche, DePaul University
