Synopsis "On the Theory and Therapy of Mental Disorders (Routledge Mental Health Classic Editions)"

This Classic Edition of On the Theory and Therapy of Mental Disorders: An Introduction to Logotherapy and Existential Analysis sees Viktor E. Frankl, bestselling author and founder of logotherapy, introduce his key theories and apply them to work with patients exhibiting symptoms of neurosis.James M. DuBois' translation of Frankl's Theorie und Therapie der Neurosen allows English readers to experience this essential text on logotherapy in an invigorating new light. DuBois also provides a new Preface to the book, highlighting the importance of both the original volume and Frankl's work at large, and framing it within contemporary psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Throughout the book, Frankl uses his unique logotherapeutic approach to analyse neuroses and their impact. He looks in turn at how neuroses may be informed by psychoses, somatic disorders, and the mental implications of being diagnosed with a physical medical condition, as well as potential psychological, spiritual, and societal causes of neuroses.Masterfully translated and thoroughly annotated, this volume brings Frankl's trailblazing theories into the 21st century and will be of great interest to psychiatrists and psychotherapists alike.

Viktor Emil Frankl (Vienna, Austria, 1905 - 1997) was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and philosopher, creator of logotherapy, known as the “Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy”. From a young age, he showed a deep interest in psychology and philosophy, influenced by both Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, though he developed his own perspective focused on the search for the meaning of life

Frankl's life was marked by tragedy and resilience: in 1942, he was deported to several Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz and Dachau, where he lost most of his family, including his pregnant wife. However, these extreme experiences led him to formulate his most influential work, Man's Search for Meaning (1946), which combines personal testimony with a psychological theory centered on the idea that the vital force of the human being comes from finding purpose even amidst suffering

Internationally awarded and considered a reference in existential psychotherapy, Frankl served as the director of the Vienna Neurological Policlinic for 25 years. His legacy transcends clinical psychology, also impacting philosophy, education, and personal development, being widely cited and studied around the world as a symbol of human capacity to find meaning in adversity
