Joseph B FabryJOSEPH FABRY was a student and disciple of Dr. Viktor Frankl, the creator of Logotherapy (Health through Meaning) and author of the best-selling Man's Search for Meaning. Logotherapy was tested in the crucible of Hitler's concentration camps, where Fankl marveled at the ability of some individuals to find meaning even in the most dehumanizing circumstances. Logotherapy has turned people all over the world from despair and frustration into a positive direction, and helped them overcome and face crises. It has helped them build a realistic self-image and strengthen self-esteem.
