Viktor Frankl
Article Abstract:
Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl became interested in psychiatry while under the influence of psychoanalysis when he was still in high school. He began to lecture on the meaning of life when he was still a teenager, and studied medicine and philosophy. In 1937, he began his private practice of psychiatry and neurology, and during the second world war suffered the death of his wife at the Auschwitz concentration camp. After the war, he spent 25 years as head of a neurology department at the Viennese Polyclinic Hospital.

Professor Hans Eysenck
Article Abstract:
Psychologist Hans Eysenck was born in Germany, but shortly before the second world war decided to live in the UK. He studied psychology at London University almost by accident, as he was not suitably qualified to study physics and astronomy, as he had originally intended. He developed the view that scientific advance depends upon measurement, and this was reflected in almost all his work. He was particularly keen to develop a scientific understanding of personality.
