Austrian psychologist Viktor Frankl is known for developing logotherapy, a psychological approach based on the idea that humans are motivated primarily by the search for purpose and meaning. Frankl developed the theory largely as a result of his experiences as a concentration camp prisoner during World War II, where he was part of an effort among the prisoners to prevent suicide attempts. Frankl’s work has informed many modern trauma therapies, and his words still ring true to anyone who feels trapped in their circumstances. Even in the most difficult situations, we have control over ourselves and how we respond to adversity.
