Viktor E. Frankl (1905-1997) was the Austrian psychiatrist and psychotherapist who developed the psychological approach known as logotherapy, widely recognized as the “third school” of Viennese psychotherapy, after the “first school” of Sigmund Freud and the “second school” of Alfred Adler. The basis of Frankl’s theory was the idea that an individual’s primary motivation is the search for meaning in life and that the primary purpose of psychotherapy should be to help the individual find that meaning. Frankl also taught at the University of Vienna until 1990 and at a number of American universities. The Viktor Frankl Institut in Vienna was founded in 1992 to further his work. Logotherapy is part of existential and humanistic psychology theories.
