Viktor Emil Frankl Livres

Ce livre propose la première traduction en français de l'un des derniers titres du grand psychiatre viennois qui revient sur son expérience des camps de la mort. Un bilan autobiographique qui fait écho au premier livre "Un psychiatre déporté témoigne" devenu "Découvrir un sens à sa vie". L'ouvrage est complété par une copieuse préface consacrée à l'oeuvre de Viktor Frankl et rédigée par G. -E. Sarfati.

Sans écarter les autres causes de souffrance, dûment répertoriées par la psychiatrie, la psychanalyse et la médecine réunies, Frankl insiste sur le fait que le déficit de sens est un facteur primordial de pathologie. Ses conséquences sont concrètes, tangibles, et ses incidences débordent bien souvent le seul plan psychique. Frankl donne le nom de névrose noogène à ce nouvel état de perturbation, qui touche toutes les couches de la société. L'épreuve du non-sens ne frappe pas seulement des individus, sous toutes les latitudes, elle frappe aussi des collectivités entières. Ce nouveau fléau de l'humanité tend aussi à se propager à la vitesse, et avec la force d'une pandémie. L'état de nos sociétés l'atteste quotidiennement.

A côté des névroses psychogènes, il existe des névroses "noogènes", expression d'une véritable détresse spirituelle du fait d'un abyssal sentiment d'absence de sens. Ce qui constitue l'apport principal de V. Frankl trouve une de ses expressions les plus abouties dans cet ouvrage qui démontre que l'inconscient humain ne parle pas seulement de pulsions insatisfaites mais ... de Dieu.

A prominent Viennese psychiatrist recounts his experiences in a Nazi concentration camp that led to the development of his existentialist approach to psychotherapy

Emphasizing spiritual values and the quest for meaning in life in its approach to the neurotic behavior, by the founder of logotherapy.

With a new Foreword by Harold S. Kushner and a new Biographical Afterword by William J. Winslade Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful. At the time of Frankl's death in 1997, Man's Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. A 1991 reader survey for the Library of Congress that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your life" found Man's Search for Meaning among the ten most influential books in America. Beacon Press, the original English-language publisher of Man's Search for Meaning, is issuing this new paperback edition with a new Foreword, biographical Afterword, jacket, price, and classroom materials to reach new generations of readers.

Frankls memoir describes life in Nazi death camps and offers lessons for spiritual survival. Based on his own experience and the stories of his patients, he argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward. At the heart of his theory, known as logotherapy, is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful. --Adapted from publisher description.

Emphasizing spiritual values and the quest for meaning in life in its approach to the neurotic behavior, by the founder of logotherapy.

A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that both he and others in Auschwitz coped (or didn't) with the experience. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Only those who allowed their inner hold on their moral and spiritual selves to subside eventually fell victim to the camp's degenerating influence - while those who made a victory of those experiences turned them into an inner triumph. Frankl came to believe man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living.
