Viktor Frankl and Suffering: Auschwitz, Trauma, and Human Dignity [German]

By Markus Markusen

How does a human being find meaning in the worst imaginable suffering? In Auschwitz, Viktor Frankl observed that prisoners who found a meaning showed greater resilience than those who no longer saw one. That observation became the foundation of his philosophy of life.

This book follows Frankl's thinking about suffering from the psychology of life in the camps through the tragic triad of guilt, death, and suffering to the question of theodicy, of God after Auschwitz. It connects Frankl's insights with modern trauma research, resilience psychology, and epigenetics, and shows how logotherapy is used in clinical work with trauma patients.

Not a book for the sentimental. A book for anyone who wants to understand what a human being is when everything has been taken away.
