What is the secret of healing when it comes to the human soul? Is it in the figure of the psychotherapist, in the right technique or medicine, in the desire of the patient himself? Where is the line between medicine and philosophy in these complex questions? This book is Viktor Frankl's major scientific work, the first version of which he wrote before his deportation to a concentration camp. Exploring conceptual and empirical approaches in psychiatry, Frankl supplements the understanding of the soul with the notion of the spirit as the core of personality, which remains intact in any illness, and shows the role of existential analysis in the treatment of mental disorders, from neuroses and depression to schizophrenic psychoses. The patient turns to a psychiatrist, desperate to find purpose and meaning in life. Frankl sees this search as the main aspiration and the most important task of a human being, and it is on this search that he bases his method (logotherapy), which helps to understand, find and return the meanings - the meaning of life, suffering, work and love.
