Harrowing and illuminating description of the author's first hand experiences of the Nazi concentration camps; his doctrine of logotherapy, outlined in the second section, does not resonate with me.
This was book 45 on my 2020 list and I had a very similar reaction.
In post 298 of that thread I wrote:
"The second part of the book dealt with the author’s psychological approach to therapy ( Logotherapy) and was interesting in light of the first part of the book, but not something I feel a particular need to research further. "
And our fondly remembered Fallible replied in post 301 of that thread,
"DGMS, glad to see another gaining something from Frankl. I felt the same as you about Logotherapy, but his insights into meaning and processing have given me both personal comfort and a useful route for work with some patients of mine, struggling to find meaning after bereavement by suicide, etc."
Pretty similar reactions all round.
