On September 2nd, 1997, Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl died at the age of 92. Born in Vienna, Austria in 1905, Viktor studied medicine at the University of Vienna and later specialized in neurology and psychiatry. During World War II, Frankl was incarcerated in four different concentration camps, including Auschwitz. This experience had a profound impact on his later work and writings as he worked to help people find meaning in their own lives. In 1946, Viktor Frankl wrote his major work, Man's Search for Meaning, an exploration into the psychology of finding purpose in life’s darkest moments. This book has since been translated into 24 languages and has permanently shaped the field of psychology, especially with regards to therapy and the human capacity for resilience. Frankl also held numerous teaching and research positions, including posts at the universities of Vienna, Harvard, and Stanford. He received many awards and honors for his work as a psychotherapist, lecturer, and writer, including the Seung Sahn Cultural Prize in 1981, the Ludwig-Boltzmann-Ring in 1996, and the United Nations Human Rights Award in 1988. Viktor Frankl was an influential figure in the field of medicine and psychiatry, an inspirational teacher and author, and a pioneer in the search for meaning in a life of suffering. He will be remembered for his enduring contributions to the understanding of psychiatry and the human spirit.
