The Doctor and the Soul is a book by Viktor E. Frankl, the Viennese psychiatrist and founder of logotherapy.[1][2][3][4]
The book explores topics on the meaning of life in general as well as the meaning of specific areas of one's life, such as work and personal relationships.
Frankl took the original manuscript of the book with him into the Nazi concentration camps where he was held. However, it was soon discarded by other inmates. Frankl later reconstructed the manuscript from memory while still in the concentration camps, and published after the end of World War II.[1]: xi
