and its distribution to all of us who at that time still wore the clothes we had inherited from other inmates of Camp Auschwitz

LOGOTHERAPY IN A NUTSHELL
READERS OF MY SHORT AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL STORY usually ask for a fuller and more direct explanation of my therapeutic doctrine.
Accordingly I added a brief section on logotherapy to the original edition of From Death-Camp to Existentialism.
But that was not enough, and I have been besieged by requests for a more extended treatment.
Therefore in the present edition I have completely rewritten and considerably expanded my account.
The assignment was not easy. To convey to the reader within a short space all the material
which required twenty volumes in German is an almost hopeless task.
I am reminded of the American doctor who once turned up in my office in Vienna and asked me, “Now, Doctor, are you a psychoanalyst?”
Whereupon I replied, “Not exactly a psychoanalyst; let’s say a psychotherapist.”
Then he continued questioning me: “What school do you stand for?” I answered, “It is my own theory; it is called logotherapy.”
