About This Item
New York: Basic Books, 1996. First Printing. very good, good. 606, illus., notes, listing of Bruno Bettelheim's works, index, some wear and soiling to DJ. Bruno Bettelheim was a psychotherapist driven by an almost magical idea: that from an absolute evil, Nazism, could be drawn the salvation of deeply disturbed children. A revered author of influential clinical studies on thelives of autistic children as well as popular Freudian interpretations of myth and fairy tale, he was also the founder of the Orthogenic School of psychoanalysis in Chicago. Nina Sutton, an admirer of his work, found herself stunned by the "Bettelheim Affair"--the scandal that erupted after he killed himself in 1990, at the age of 86.
