《我们活着的理由》本书是奥地利著名心理学家维克多·弗兰克尔最为重要的作品之一,是理解他的心理学的起点。维克多·弗兰克尔在纳粹集中营的经历使他认识到,对生活意义的需求是个人生活的主要方面,因此他提出了意义疗法的理论。他的革命性理论在《我们活着的理由》一书中得到了概述。他认为,当今社会面临一种“存在的真空”状态,人们普遍患有一种“心灵性神经症”。针对这种状况,他提出了意义治疗和存在主义分析。在本书中,他将哲学与治疗交织在一起,讨论了生命、死亡、工作、痛苦和爱情的意义,分析了焦虑症、强迫症、忧郁症、精神分裂症背后的深层心理。

The Reason We Live is one of the most important works of the famous Austrian psychologist Victor Frankel, and it is the starting point for understanding his psychology. Victor Frankel's experience in a Nazi concentration camp led him to realize that the need for meaning in life was the main aspect of an individual's life, and so he developed the theory of meaning therapy. His revolutionary theory is outlined in the book Why We Live. He believes that today's society faces a state of "existential vacuum" and that people generally suffer from a "psychic neurosis." In response to this situation, he proposed meaning therapy and existential analysis. In this book, he weaves philosophy with therapy, discusses the meaning of life, death, work, pain, and love, and analyzes the deep psychology behind anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and schizophrenia.
