Meaning and Hope in the Work of Viktor Frankl
Original language description
Reflecting on my work, supporting parents of adult children with disabilities, I asked myself about the meaning of my work . If the answer is "to give hope," is it possible to live up to such a challenge? Viktor Frankl's most famous book, Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything, bears witness to hope in its very title - witness to the hope that life has meaning despite all the suffering . The aim of this paper is to show the relationship between meaning and hope through analysing some of Frankl's books . First, I provide a brief background to the people with whom I work . In understanding hope, I draw on Jan Sokol's definition . I then briefly introduce Frankl's logotherapy and the basic concepts with which he works, before analysing his texts and defining the relationship between meaning and hope . Finally, I consider whether I can live up to the claim of bringing hope through my work
