Viktor E. Frankl:
On the Theory and Therapy of Mental Disorders
New "Routledge Mental Health Classics" edition
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.

Proceedings of the Viktor Frankl Institute Vienna, Vol. 2
In this Second Volume of the series, the principles of logotherapy are applied
to education, workplace and educational environments, the tragic triad of fear,
suffering, and death—even to international relations. In still other chapters,
the depth of Frankl’s philosophical foundation is expanded.
