Who developed logotherapy?

Who developed logotherapy?

• A. Viktor Frankl
• B. Carl Rogers
• C. Sigmund Freud
• D. B. F. Skinner

Answer: (A)

Logotherapy is a meaning-centered form of existential psychology developed by Viktor Frankl, an Austrian psychiatrist. He argued that the primary human drive is the search for meaning, and that people can endure suffering by discovering purpose in their lives. The approach helps individuals uncover personally meaningful goals through their relationships, work, and the attitude they choose toward challenges. By contrast, Carl Rogers developed client-centered therapy, Sigmund Freud founded psychoanalysis, and B. F. Skinner is associated with behaviorism, so Frankl is the one who established logotherapy.
