Recent research has shown that people who have gone through war experiences in one way or the other tend to manifest reactions classified as post-traumatic stress disorder. Viktor Frankl, the founder of logotherapy, manifested PTSD reactions when he was in a concentration camp. This paper attempts to sketch how he lived through his traumatic experiences by relying on the principle of Will to Meaning as his survival mechanism. Two implications will be outlined derived from this principle for psychotherapies dealing with disaster survivors.
最近的研究表明，那些以某种方式经历过战争的人往往会表现出被归类为创伤后应激障碍的反应。存在主义心理治疗法的创始人维克托·弗兰克尔在集中营时就表现出了创伤后应激障碍的反应。本文试图勾勒出他是如何依靠意义意志原则作为生存机制来度过创伤经历的。将概述从这一原则中得出的、对治疗灾难幸存者的心理疗法的两点启示。
