To Redeem One Person Is to Redeem the World: The Life of Frieda Fromm-Reichmann
- Used Book in Good Condition
A fascinating and dramatic account of a controversial figure in twentieth-century psychiatry.

In this â‚¬Å“dazzling and provocativeâ‚¬Â* biography, Gail Hornstein brings back to life the maverick psychiatrist Frieda Fromm-Reichmann. To Redeem One Person Is to Redeem the World tells the extraordinary life story of the German-Jewish refugee analyst who accomplished what Freud and almost everyone else thought impossible: she successfully treated schizophrenics and other seriously disturbed mental patients with intensive psychotherapy, rather than medication, lobotomy, or shock treatment. Written with unprecedented access to a rich archive of clinical materials and newly discovered records and documents from across Europe and the United States, Hornsteinâ‚¬s meticulous and â‚¬Å“delightfully lucidâ‚¬Â** biography definitively reclaims the life of Fromm-Reichmann. The therapist at the core of Joanne Greenbergâ‚¬s I Never Promised You a Rose Garden is also the analyst who had an affair with, and later married, her patient Erich Fromm. A pioneer in her field, she made history as the pivotal figure of the unique and legendary mental hospital, Chestnut Lodge.

â‚¬Å“A lively, well-written account of a charismatic leader in an important period of psychiatryâ‚¬s history.â‚¬Â
â‚¬"Psychology Today

â‚¬Å“At a time when little pills are seen as a quick fix for almost everything, this book is well worth taking time to read and contemplate.â‚¬Â
