leaders of the camp. As we have all learned in history classes throughout our lives, the conditions of these camps were blatantly abhorrent, and it is a surprise that people made it out of these camps alive. In his book, Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor E. Frankl uses his experiences in a concentration camp as an example to his readers that life holds a potential meaning no matter what condition a person is in. In the two parts of his book he analyzes his experiences and the

The power of mankind is only as strong as his internal being. While held captive within the confines of one of history’s most brutal constraints, Viktor Frankl reached within himself to transcend the hellish reality he could not escape. His module for existence can be summed up by Nietzsche's epitomic phrase “He who has a ‘why’ to live for can bear almost any ‘how’.” In the beginning of the book, he emphasizes that his purpose in writing the book is not at all to prove factual events, since there

Quest for Wisdom: Two Approaches Two approaches to the “Quest for Wisdom” that I enjoyed are Walden, by Henry David Thoreau and Man’s Search for Meaning, by Viktor E. Frankl. Both of the authors took similar approaches by using narration of a main segment of their lives to explain their philosophy and how they arrived at their conclusions. Though both conclusions represent individualism they are strikingly different. Thoreau values the doctrines of Transcendentalism, seeking ones inner self through

On August 7th 2014, Russia imposed a ban of food imports coming from western countries for the next year. The reason for Russia’s decision to ban the good comes on the heels of Russian invasion of neighbor Ukraine. In early 2014, Russia staged an intervention with Ukraine expressing that the land described as the Crimean Peninsula was under Russian control, not Ukraine’s. On February 21st 2014, the Ukrainian President fled the capital and was officially removed him from power. Oleksandr Turchynov

Interventions For this paper, I decided to look into interventions that had to deal with parents, children, and adolescents mourning a loss. The two sections I will be focusing on mostly are Encountering Resistance and Finding Meaning with one intervention from Rewriting Life Narratives. As a student in the School Counseling program, I want to focus on how I could better assist my adolescent students that have had a loss and parents that are grieving over a child. A school counselor’s duty is the

Viktor Frankl, renowned psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, often quoted Nietzsche saying, “He who has a ‘why’ to live for can bear almost any ‘how’”. Viktor Frankl, known for his development of logotherapy, a form of therapy that teaches individuals to live a life of meaning, put this saying to use when he experienced unspeakable atrocities during the holocaust. Given his medical and psychological history, Frankl was able to withstand Nazi concentration camps and not give into the hopelessness

Viktor Frankl is a well known psychiatrist and neurologist. He is praised for his book, Man’s Search For Meaning, a story that depicts Frankl’s viewpoint during the Holocaust. The narrative illustrates Victor’s perspective and his coping techniques during this time. Frankl also mentions his theory of Logotherapy. A technique that he uses to help people find meaning with their life. Reaction My reaction to this book can be summarized into two words: mind-blowing. I feel this every time I read or

disputed. Comparison of Sigmund Freud’s The Future of an Illusion and Paul Tillich’s Dynamics of Faith, fully displays the discrepancies in points of view on the function of faith, as well as the necessity of faith, in society; while the comparison of Viktor E. Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning and Karl Marx’s “on the Future of Religion,” demonstrate both similarities and differences

For my comparison, I’ll be looking at the theories of Sigmund Freud and Viktor Frankl, the creators of both the first and third Viennese Schools of Psychotherapy, respectively. To begin with, I’ll examine Frankl’s theory of existential analysis known as logotherapy. Logotherapy states that we as human beings are conscious creatures, responsible for our choices and decisions in life. Frankl proposed a dualistic view of human nature, which claimed that the unconscious is home to both sides of humanity

Humanity and the Struggle Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me depict similar stories of struggle for meaning in the face of oppression. Coates, as a black man, discovers in Between the World and Me that there is no guarantee his right to life will be respected, and he turns this, and other realities, into lessons for his son to give his life meaning. Frankl, as a holocaust survivor, finds reprieve from his brutal surroundings at Auschwitz in the
