TL;DR: Their task as doctors and counselors is not to give concise replies or to preach to people, neither should the authors avoid the patient's questions about life and values.
Abstract: Does life have any meaning? This is a question which all men ponder, especially during old age. It is a question which the doctor can help the patient answer, but frequently doctors avoid such philosophical questions because they do not know how to answer them. But our task as doctors and counselors is not to give concise replies or to preach to people. Neither should we avoid the patient's questions about life and values. We must, as Frankl has said, help people to find their own meaning to life and the best way to do this is through unhurried dialogue.
