He wrote the international bestseller Man's Search for Meaning as a result of that experience, while in The Doctor and the Soul, Dr Frankl revolutionised psychotherapy with his theory of Logotherapy.Viktor Frankl's work has been described as \"the most important contributions in the field of psychotherapy since the days of Freud, Adler and Jung.\" In The Doctor and the Soul, Dr Frankl maintains that the individual's most important need is to find meaning in life and the frustration of this need results in neurosis, suffering and despair. A doctor's work lies in finding personal meaning in a patient's life, no matter how dismal the circumstances of the life.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56231349911925,"sku":"9780285637016","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780285637016_c75aad39-3b59-420c-bea2-d3b1d7990acd.jpg?v=1786012325"},{"product_id":"9781805463801","title":"The Will to Meaning","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e'Even the tragic and negative aspects of life, such as unavoidable suffering, can be turned into a human achievement by the attitude which a man adopts toward his predicament... to transform despair into triumph.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHolocaust survivor Viktor E.

Drawing on decades of work as the founder of logotherapy, Frankl argues that our deepest human need is not pleasure or success, but meaning. When that need goes unmet, we experience what he calls the 'feeling of meaninglessness' – a condition that lies at the heart of many of today's emotional and existential struggles.
