North Park University Professor Emeritus Haddon (’Don) Klingberg, Jr. gave the keynote presentation at the 4th International Congress on Logotherapy in Moscow August 28–September 2, 2018.
The conference was cosponsored by the Viktor Frankl Institute Vienna and the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis.
Klingberg is the author of the biography of Viktor and wife Elly Frankl, which is published in four languages. He is considered the foremost expert on Frankl, the Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor who founded logotherapy, a form of psychoanalysis. Frankl’s best-selling book, Man’s Search for Meaning, chronicles the time he spent in a concentration camp with his wife and parents.
During his presentation, Klingberg used a vast, unique archive of photos, recordings, and documents from his research. Klingberg devoted much of his career to studying Frankl and the impact he had on psychoanalysis.
A full-time professor of psychology at North Park from 1988–2008, Klingberg is currently an adjunct professor and an independent contractor and consultant.
