Although originally intended to be published anonymously, Frankl eventually decided to apply his name to the manuscript because he believed it would add more credibility to the accounts. This decision had a major implication for the language of the book, as Frankl depicted his experiences in a format reminiscent of a journal. The brutal conditions of physical and psychological suffering took on a human form as Frankl discussed his own personal treatment and feelings throughout this ordeal.
