Abstract

Few people better personify the notion of a sense of purpose and meaning than the Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl (1905–1997). Dr Frankl was of Jewish origin, but when the persecutions started under Nazi influence, followed by World War II, he decided to stay in Austria to support his patients. In 1942 he was arrested and deported to the concentration camp of Theresienstadt with his wife Tilly Grosser and both his parents. As a psychiatrist, Viktor Frankl was interested in what made some people want to live and survive at any cost, and what drove those who had suicidal tendencies (before the war he had treated thousands of women in the “suicide pavilion” of the General Hospital in Vienna).
