"Ten Theses about the Person" - A Fundamental Text on Frankl's Conception of the Human Being

In a keynote lecture presented in 1950 Frankl laid down his views on the human person in the concise format of a number of propositions. The text of his talk was incorporated in the 1951 book "Logos und Existenz".

With its clarity and compact structure "Ten Theses about the Person" is one of the core texts in Frankl's work. To make it accessible also to non-German readers we here present an English translation.

Viktor Frankl and the Shoah: Advancing the Debate

This book explores the intellectual and political biography of Viktor Frankl. It focuses on his life and works and political thinking from the late 1920’s to the years in Nazi-occupied Vienna, and finally the time in the concentration camps Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, and Dachau. It presents new archival findings on Frankl’s involvement with the Austrian Zionist Movement, his attempts to sabotage the Nazi “euthanasia” program, and his scathing critiques of the NS-Psychotherapy school around Göring and his students, published during the years before Frankl’s deportation.
The book addresses recent attempts by the author Timothy Pytell to portray Frankl as a “fellow traveler” of the Nazi regime and corrects the fundamental errors and misrepresentations in Pytell’s work. It thus offers important perspectives on the intellectual history of ideas in psychology and existential psychotherapy, and serves as key material on the development of psychotherapy before and during the Holocaust.

The Unheard Cry for Meaning / Portuguese

A Voz que Grita Por um Sentido. Como redescobrir a dimensão humanista da psicoterapia.

O autor procura (re)encontrar o que temos de mais humano em diferentes expressões da cultura humana. Percorre a filosofia, a moralidade, mas também temas fulcrais para a psicologia , como o sexo ou a literatura, à procura daquilo que faz de nós humanos. A Voz que Grita por um Sentido quer devolver um rosto humano à psiquiatria e evidenciar o que cada um de nós tem de único e individual. E reforça a crença do autor de que num mundo confuso, só em nós próprios encontraremos um farol e um rumo para a vida.
