Psychotherapy and Humanism

Upon his death in 1997, Viktor E. Frankl was lauded as one of the most influential thinkers of our time. The Unheard Cry for Meaning marked his return to the humanism that made Mans Search for Meaning a bestseller around the world. In these selected essays, written between 1947 and 1977, Dr. Frankl illustrates the vital importance of the human dimension in psychotherapy. Using a wide range of subjectsincluding sex, mortality, modern literature, competitive athletics, and philosophyhe raises a lone voice against the pseudohumanism that has invaded popular psychology and psychoanalysis. By exploring mankinds remarkable qualities, he brilliantly celebrates each individuals unique potential, while preserving the invaluable traditions of both Freudian analysis and behaviorism.
