A cry for meaning

Translation: Abdul Maqsood Abdul Kareem Number of pages: 199 This book, as Dr. Viktor Frankl says, continues the series that began with two previous books, the book of Psychotherapy and Existentialism and the book of the Unconscious God: Psychotherapy and Theology. In this book, Dr. Frankl continues his discussion on his cherished and rich topic, the search for meaning, meaning of life or meaning in life. After reviewing the importance of meaning, and the role of the lack of meaning in causing a number of neurosis disorders. After observing some statistics related to the spread of the feeling of lack of meaning in life in Western societies, Frankl moves to talk about logotherapy, which is a technique of his invention. Since he sees that intense or excessive attention to the problem the patient suffers from and intense thinking about it exacerbates the problem, he proposes two techniques of logotherapy and focuses on them in this book, with an application of the two techniques in many cases, and these two techniques are the contradictory intention and not dwelling on thinking.
