To Redeem One Person Is To Redeem The World: A Life of Frieda Fromm-Reichmann
Gail A. Hornstein Manufacturer: Free Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0684827921 |
Book Description
In this marvelously researched and moving biography closely grounded in Frieda Fromm-Reichmann's work, Gail Hornstein brings back to life the maverick psychiatrist who accomplished what Freud and almost everyone else thought impossible: successfully treating schizophrenics and other seriously disturbed mental patients with intensive psychotherapy, not lobotomy, shock treatment, or drugs.
To Redeem One Person Is to Redeem the World tells the extraordinary life story of the German-Jewish refugee analyst, who was the first wife of Erich Fromm. Written with unprecedented access to a rich archive of Frieda Fromm-Reichmann's clinical work at the legendary Chestnut Lodge Hospital in Rockville, Maryland, and using newly discovered family records and documents from across Europe and the United States, this is the definitive biography of a remarkable woman.
Best known to millions as the courageous therapist in I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, Joanne Greenberg's bestselling chronicle of madness and recovery, Fromm-Reichmann (1889-1957) is a fascinating and controversial figure in twentieth-century psychiatry. To Redeem One Person Is to Redeem the World traces the story of her life and education, from a loving childhood as the eldest of three daughters in an Orthodox Jewish family to medical school at seventeen, as one of the first women admitted to study at a Prussian university.
During World War I, Fromm-Reichmann took charge of a military hospital in Königsberg, transforming it into a pioneering center for the treatment of brain injury. By her mid-thirties, she had opened her own psychiatric sanitarium in Heidelberg, where she and her staff put into practice a unique and hopeful integration of psychotherapy and tikkun, the Jewish ethical principle that every person is worth saving. At thirty-six, she had an affair with and then married her patient, Erich Fromm, later the celebrated author of Escape from Freedom, The Art of Loving, and other psychological classics. Her close friends and colleagues in pre-World War II Germany included some of the most visionary intellectuals and therapists of the era: Martin Buber, Karen Horney, Franz Rosenzweig, Gershom Scholem, and Georg Groddeck, among others.
Hornstein recounts Fromm-Reichmann's dramatic escape from Nazi Germany, exile in France and Palestine, and her flight to the United States, where she found asylum at a tiny hospital outside Washington, D.C. Over the following decades, Fromm-Reichmann would emerge as the most distinguished figure at Chestnut Lodge, a mental hospital unlike any other -- intellectually radical, yet filled with warm family feeling and deeply respectful of individual difference. Fromm-Reichmann was not only pivotal in creating a beacon of hope at Chestnut Lodge, which stood alone as the place where the sickest patients could go to be cured. She was also a maverick in her field -- the only prominent woman analyst of her day to write about schizophrenia, not femininity or children. And she had little interest in the arcane theoretical disputes that obsessed most of her colleagues; curing patients was her consuming goal.
As the pendulum swings back from psychiatry's addiction to drugs as the sole treatment for mental illness, Fromm-Reichmann's breadth of vision makes this biography of a heroic, yet all-too-human, woman a timely and compelling work.
Download Description
Best known to millions as the courageous therapist in Joanne Greenberg's chronicle of madness and recovery, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann (1889-1957) is a fascinating and controversial figure. She is credited with accomplishing what Freud thought impossible: successfully treating psychotics and schizophrenics with intensive psychotherapy, not drugs. Numerous researchers have attempted to study her life but, the dearth of records and personal effects thwarted each attempt to penetrate the myth. Now Gail Hornstein's relentless, ten-year pursuit of every trace of Fromm-Reichmann's life has culminated in the long-awaited liberation of the actual facts and history from the fictionalized doctor in...Rose Garden. Using these newly discovered family records and a rich archive of tape-recorded sessions with patients, Hornstein illuminates a fascinating life. Fromm-Reichmann, born into an Orthodox German Jewish family, believed that every person is worth saving. The story of her education and early psychiatric practice, her complex marriage to Erich Fromm (the celebrated author of The Art of Loving), her dramatic escape from Nazi Germany, and her intense relationships and rivalries with major psychoanalysts makes for truly compelling reading.Customer Reviews:

Excellent Review in Need of Some Updating.......2004-02-03
Having said that, you should keep in mind that in the liquor world, things are always changing, new brands or bottlings are being introduced or discontinued, formulas are being altered, prices fluctuate (usually upwards in the realm of premium spirits!) and indeed the taste of the reviewers are changing as well. If you look at the societies website, you will see with their latest up-to-date ratings, some spirits have risen and others fallen. In some cases, if they were to update the book with a new edition, the ratings lists would look very different. The example of American Bourbons show almost all of the above 90 spirits have fallen to high 80's and low 90's on the website - which appears to me to be mostly the addition of a bunch of new high quality entries requiring a re-scaling rather than indications of a fall in quality.
Still, this is an excellent starting point, and a good example of what should br a periodic publication from the BTI!
A Great Little Rating Book.......2000-09-25
