The first part of this book—Frankl's exploration of his time and experiences in concentration camps and the impact these horrors had on his psyche and that of those around him—is very good. There isn't really much I can say on it that isn't said better elsewhere.

The second part, his primer on Logotherapy, was not really for me. It is very clearly something of its time and there is much about it that I like as a social worker and someone who works with people. That said, it doesn't resonate anything like the first part which really is a special work.
