Following World War II, Viktor Frankl revolutionized the field of psychotherapy with the inception of logotherapy. With Logotherapy: Viktor Frankl, Life and Work, Soggie offers a compelling and comprehensive introduction to both the man and his contribution to psychotherapy. Through the examination of Frankls life as a boy to his days in a concentration camp and his post-war work, Soggie paints a rich portrait of Frankl and the origins of logotherapy. Complete with in-depth explanations of logotherapys key concepts, including dimensionalism, love, responsibility, and freedom of the will, this book serves as a great complement to Frankls own works and a valuable resource to practitioners and therapists in training alike.
Neil A. Soggie, PhD, is associate professor of counseling psychology at Briercrest College and Seminary. He is the author of several books, including Existo: Worldview and a Meaningful Life and Myth, God, and War.
