Publisher Description
En El hombre en busca de sentido el psiquiatra Viktor Frankl narra su experiencia como superviviente de los campos de concentración y cómo esto le ayudó a desarrollar la logoterapia, que muchos han considerado la “tercera escuela vienesa de psicoterapia” (las dos primeras escuelas fueron las constituidas por Freud y Adler, respectivamente). Una de las conclusiones que saca Frankl de todas sus vivencias en los campos es la existencia en el hombre de una libertad interior que nadie puede arrebatarle, ni en las circunstancias más difíciles. Pase lo que pase, el hombre siempre es libre para decidir qué actitud va a tomar ante lo que suceda. El psiquiatra ilustra esta tesis con multitud de casos de los que él fue testigo en los años de internamiento.
