Publicações: Livro de D. Nuno Almeida evoca psiquiatra Viktor Frankl, cujo sentido de vida «foi ajudar os outros»

Bishop Nuno Almeida of Bragança-Miranda has published a book titled “Logoterapia e análise existencial,” which examines the life and work of Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl. In an interview with Agência Ecclesia, the bishop explained that the book explores how Frankl sought to help others find hope and meaning in their lives.

The bishop noted that the term logotherapy centers on healing through the search for and discovery of meaning. He described Frankl as a Jewish Austrian philosopher and neurologist who began deepening psychotherapy concepts in the 1920s through dialogue and confrontation with the work of Freud and Adler.

Bishop Almeida stated that Frankl's thought relates to how people behave during positive situations, such as marriage, or those involving suffering, finitude, and death. He emphasized that the attitude held during difficult and inevitable life situations allows people to find serenity and hope. He also noted Frankl's belief that even those with profound mental illness never lose their human dignity.
