A Psychobiography of Viktor E. Frankl - Using Adversity for Life Transformation (Paperback, 1st ed. 2021)

This book is a psychobiography on the life of Viktor Frankl and a unique exploration of his life from a positive psychology perspective. It uses Paul Wong's theory of positive psychology wave 2 (PP2.0) and explores the concepts of meaning and virtue throughout Frankl's life span. The authors define virtue in terms of appreciation of beauty, gratitude, hope, humour and spirituality, and define meaning based on Paul Wong's PURE model. They apply Irving Alexander's primary indicators of psychological salience and W.T. Schultz's prototypical scenes to analyse Frankl's important life events. This psychobiography presents an original contribution to theory on three levels: advancing the literature in psychobiography, developing the field of PP2.0, and providing new insights into Frankl's life. It is a must for psychographers, positive psychologists and people interested in Frankl's life and theoretical contributions.
