Timothy Edward Pytell is Chair of the History department at California State University, San Bernardino. He has written extensively on Holocaust survivors and a truncated version of this biography, titled Viktor Frankl: Das Ende eines Mythos, was published in German in 2005.

"Pytell's book fills an important gap in the literature on one of the most famous and, until now, least controversial psychotherapists of the twentieth century. Unlike earlier works on Frankl, [this book] avoids hagiography and places Frankl in the full political, social, historical, as well as intellectual contexts of his times. It is the first work to synthesize Frankl's life and work in his time and place." * Geoffrey Cocks, Albion College
