In his authoritative and extraordinarily influential book Man's Search for Meaning, psychiatrist Viktor Frankl proposed that any individual's life task is to find meaning, that meaning cannot be obtained without suffering, and that suffering allows meaning to be identified. He also articulated his therapeutic model-logotherapy, the so-called third Viennese school of psychotherapy. This article contemplates why logotherapy currently has seemingly little salience and suggests that the most likely reasons reflect some components being taken over by other therapies and by tenets of positive psychology articulated in recent decades.
在他权威且极具影响力的著作《活出生命的意义》中，精神病学家维克多·弗兰克（Viktor Frankl）提出，每个人的人生任务都是寻找意义，没有苦难就无法获得意义，而苦难则能让人识别意义。他还阐述了自己的治疗模式——意义疗法，即所谓的维也纳第三心理治疗学派。本文思考了为什么意义疗法目前似乎没有太大的影响力，并认为最有可能的原因是它的某些部分被其他疗法以及近几十年来积极心理学的原则所吸收。
