Book Review
Book Description Dr. Ann Graber's magnificent work presented here in the Second Edition on Viktor Frankl is a serious attempt to demonstrate the effectiveness and viability of the use of existential analysis (logotherapy) by those in ministry. Dr. Graber has poignantly demonstrated that existential analysis can be both scientifically sound and theologically grounded. Unlike the other Viennese schools of depth psychology, Frankl centers his work in the spiritual vitality of the human soul wherein is located the origin and destiny of all emotional healing.
About the Author Ann V. Graber grew up in Europe and was educated in Austria. As a young adult she immigrated to the United States and became a naturalized citizen. After rearing her family, she continued her higher education, culminating in the Diplomate credential from the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy. She joined the Institute as a professional member and served as instructor. Her particular contribution to the Institute has been the "Distance Learning" initiative, and assisting in the development of an English language curriculum in Franklian psychology. Anns quest for greater spiritual understanding led her to study pastoral psychology and counseling at Graduate Theological Foundation (GTF), earning a D.Min. and subsequently, the Ph.D. degree in Pastoral Psychology.
