About This Item
New York, New York, USA: Alfred A Knopf, 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7. Alfred A Knopf, 2002. ype: Hard Back First Edition. Hardcover in Fine Condition with a Near Fine Dust Jacket. Clean, unmarked, tight & solid volume bound in gray cloth over spine with gilt titles, red boards. The life of renowned child psychologist, Bruno Bettelheim, 1903-1990, from his life of wealth in Vienna to Dachau and Buchenwald and all their horrors which his intellect helped him survive. His eventual voyage to the New World brought him to Chicago and his development of a total therapeutic milieu for children unable to survive at home or in any school. The parallels he drew between the concentration camp prisoner and the inner world of the disturbed child and his Freudian convictions about human nature gave him an uncanny insight into that child's world. The author also explores the criticisms after his death about his writings and his unorthodox clinical methods. 518 pages with Notes, Bibliography and Index. 9.5 x 6.5 inches. 2002, Alfred A Knopf, New York, New York, USA
