Abstract
AQUINO, Thiago Antonio Avellar de. Viktor Frankl: beyond their memories. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.2, pp.232-240. ISSN 1809-6867. https://doi.org/10.18065/2020v26n2.10.
The research aimed to analyze Frankl's book "What is not written in my books". The latter is considered the most important self-biographical material by this author, considering that it's relevant to understand to which extent his life and work are related. The research corpus has been processed through the R Interface for Multidimensional Analysis of Texts and Questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ) software through the procedure of similarity analysis and word cloud. Thus, the most frequent words were "say" and "do", which, by the same token, formed two structures of meaning. The analysis procedures revealed an existential coherence between the life and the work of the author, which helped to expand the understanding on the meaning of life of Viktor Frankl.
