Viktor Emil Frankl was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor who founded logotherapy, a form of existential analysis.
Born in 1905, Frankl survived multiple concentration camps during World War II, including Auschwitz.
His experiences there profoundly influenced his psychological theories and led to the development of logotherapy, which emphasizes the search for meaning in life as a primary motivational force.
Frankl authored numerous books, with "Man's Search for Meaning" being his most famous work.
He continued to lecture and write until his death in 1997, leaving a lasting impact on the fields of psychology and psychotherapy.
