On looking forward

Preston Brown, in his fine letter in the Feb. 4 issue, mentioned Dr. Viktor Frankl, a Jewish psychotherapist who spent years in concentration camps during the Nazi regime. He lost his mother, father, brother, and wife while there.

His logotherapy was designed to break through the neuroses of his patients, a defense device which served to conceal their life’s mission, which is different for all people. He believed the main drive of folks was a search for meaning in their lives going forward, as opposed to Freud’s emphasis on individuals’ past history.
