After three grim years at Auschwitz and other Nazi prisons, Dr. Frankl gained freedom only to learn that almost his entire family had been wiped out. But during, and indeed partly because of, the incredible suffering and degradation of those harrowing years, he developed his theory of logotherapy. In his preface to this book. Harvard University's Gordon W. Allport calls it "an introduction to the most significant psychological movement of our day." "...perhaps the most significant thinking since Freud and Adler. Unconditional faith in an unconditional meaning is Dr. Frankl's message to the reader." -The American Journal of Psychiatry
