Dr. McCormick discusses the impact Frankl’s work has had on his life and on his career as a psychologist researching Indigenous healing.

“For me, one of the great parts of Frankl’s work is how he illustrates resiliency, and how all it takes is a strong reason for living. I think for many Indigenous peoples it’s finding that source of strength to keep us going because every effort has been made over the past several years to eradicate Indigenous culture.”
