Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl : A 5 page paper
discussing the
Austrians view that involvement with others and work
contribute to creating a meaning for life, without which
individuals cannot live full lives or face problems that appear to
be insurmountable. Frankl assigned love a primary role in
supplying the meaning of life that is all-important for the
outlook that individuals maintain. Six survivors of the
Holocaust assessed Frankls theories, and found that love was
important but so were other factors (p. 1075). Psychology
routinely attempts to downplay the powerful effects of love, but
Viktor Frankl took the opposing view. He was certain that we
need it for our own well being. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
