My favorite psychologist

Viktor Emil Frankl (26 March 1905 – 2 September 1997) was an Austrian Holocust survivor, neurologist, paychiatrist and author.

He was the founder of logotheraphy (literally "healing through meaning")–– a meaning-centered school of psychotherapy, considered the Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy–– following the theories developed by Sigmud Freud and Fres Adler. Logotherapy is part of existential and humanistic psychology theories.

In logotherapy the search for a meaning in life is identified as the primary motivational force in human beings. Frankl's approach is based on three philosophical and psychological concepts, Freedom of Will - Will to Meaning - Meaning in Life:

- Humans are basically free to take their stance towards internal (psychological) and external (biological and social) conditions.

- The search for meaning is seen as the primary motivation of humans. Logotherapy assists clients in finding and pursuing meaningful goals in their lives. However, they are not offered specific meanings; rather, they are encouraged to realize of those meaning possibilities they have detected themselves.

- Logotherapy is based on the idea that meaning is an objective reality, as opposed to a mere illusion arising within the perceptional apparatus of the observer.

Frankl identified three main ways of realizing meaning in life: First, by making a difference in the world through our actions, our work or our creations - referred to as "Creative Values". Second, by experiencing something (such as truth, beauty) or encountering someone (love) - "Experiential Values". Third, by adopting a courageous and exemplary attitude in situations of unavoidable suffering - "Attitudinal Values."

This humanistic approach is what makes him my favorite psychologist.
