In Memory of Oscar Ricardo Oro

Born in 1934 in Buenos Aires, he was a curious and restless spirit with a lifelong commitment to learning and human growth. Initially trained as a business administrator and builder, he became a successful textile entrepreneur before turning decisively toward the humanities. At the age of 45, he qualified as a clinical psychologist, developing a strong interest in existential psychology under the mentorship of Dr. Flavio O. Núñez at the University of Buenos Aires.

From the mid-1970s onward, following his encounter with Viktor E. Frankl—whom he met personally in Brazil in 1982—he found in logotherapy the guiding framework for his vocation. He maintained a close professional and personal relationship with Frankl and remained deeply influenced by his thought.

He was Co-Founder and President of the Fundación Argentina de Logoterapia “Viktor E. Frankl,” an institution active for more than 30 years. An international lecturer and educator, he taught and directed programs across Latin America and Europe, and authored influential works in psychology and logotherapy.

Remembered as generous, humble, and deeply humanistic, he devoted his life to accompanying others in their search for meaning. He passed away on January 10, 2026, at the age of 91, leaving a lasting legacy.

Nacido en 1934 en Buenos Aires, fue un espíritu inquieto y curioso, con una vocación permanente por el aprendizaje y el crecimiento humano. Se formó inicialmente como administrador de empresas y constructor, desarrollándose como empresario textil, hasta que su inclinación por las humanidades lo llevó a orientarse de manera definitiva hacia la psicología. A los 45 años obtuvo su título de psicólogo clínico, interesándose tempranamente por la psicología existencial bajo la guía del Dr. Flavio O. Núñez en la Universidad de Buenos Aires.

Desde mediados de la década de 1970, y a partir de su encuentro con Viktor E. Frankl —a quien conoció personalmente en Brasil en 1982— encontró en la logoterapia el marco fundamental de su vocación. Mantuvo con Frankl una relación cercana, marcada por el respeto, el aprendizaje y la afinidad intelectual.

Fue Cofundador y Presidente de la Fundación Argentina de Logoterapia “Viktor E. Frankl”, institución activa durante más de 30 años. Se desempeñó como docente, conferencista internacional y formador en programas universitarios de grado y posgrado en América Latina y Europa, y fue autor de obras y publicaciones relevantes en el campo de la psicología y la logoterapia.

Quienes lo conocieron lo recuerdan como una persona generosa, humilde y profundamente humanista, dedicada a acompañar a otros en la búsqueda de sentido. Falleció el 10 de enero de 2026, a los 91 años, dejando un legado perdurable.

Bliss: Encounters with Meaning in a Complex World

This book invites readers to rediscover joy as Viktor Frankl understood it: a quiet byproduct of a life lived with meaning. Moving across education, ethics, technology, suffering, and peace, the book shows how meaning anchors the human spirit amid rapid change. Drawing on Logotherapy, contemporary psychology, and global concerns, it addresses moral injury, palliative care, Artificial Intelligence, and ethical practice. Historical and clinical perspectives—from Frankl’s early encounter with Freud to palliative care inspired by Dame Cicely Saunders and Dr. Balfour Mount—ground its vision. Bliss offers clarity and courage for uncertain times, affirming that joy emerges through commitment to truth, beauty, goodness, and service to others.

Heloísa Helena Rocha Silveira e Valquíria Gonçalves de Oliveira:

A Espiritualidade Comunitária

This book invites our imagination: What might an encounter between Chiara Lubich and Viktor Frankl  have been like?

It encourages us to reflect on the greatness of the lives and work of these two figures of the twentieth century. Both lived through the Second World War and worked tirelessly for unity in the world, while deeply valuing human diversity.

Both also taught us that we must live in pursuit of an ideal—today more than ever. Life itself reveals a richness of meaning, like an inexhaustible source, when it opens itself to transcendence, to a higher meaning, and becomes anchored in faith, hope, and love.

En el Bosque de la Bohemia con Viktor Frankl

This is is a work of philosophical fiction inspired by the existential legacy of Viktor Frankl. Through the encounter between an elderly philosopher and a young wanderer, the novel explores questions of freedom, suffering, love, and the search for meaning that define the human journey.

Written with poetic sensibility and narrative depth, this story invites readers to accompany its characters in their inner pilgrimage—toward reconciliation, responsibility, and transcendence. It is the first title in the Siendo Humanos Collection, whose purpose is to bring Logotherapy’s values and insights to a wider and less academic audience, through the language of storytelling and imagination.

Sentir el sentido, Fenomenología de la vida emocional

Sentir el sentido, de Daniele Bruzzone, es una invitación a redescubrir la vida emocional como el núcleo de nuestra existencia. Con una mirada fenomenológica, el autor nos conduce a comprender los afectos desde dentro, no como obstáculos, sino como fuerzas que transforman, orientan y dan sentido a nuestra relación con el mundo y con los otros.

Este libro devuelve a las emociones y sentimientos su dignidad original, mostrándolos como vivencias fundamentales que entretejen nuestra experiencia de ser humanos. Una obra íntima y profunda, ideal para quienes buscan habitar su existencia con mayor hondura emocional y cuidar con más sentido de sí mismos y de los demás.
