 | Bruno Bettelheim by Theron Raines
A revealing portrait of the renowned child psychologist, whose legacy has been contested since his suicide in 1990. Drawing extensively upon his long years of friendship with Bettelheim and uon Bettelheim's own words and those of his colleaues, from interviews conducted expressly for this book, Raines explores the crucial intervals and questions of an extraordinary life. Here is Bettelheim's account of his experience in the Nazi camps: how he used his intellect to survive, and how the understanding he came to in that hell formed him as a therapist. Here is his passage from the Old World to the New, his professional ascent in Chicago, where, with practiacally no specialized training, he was able to turn a dysfunctional school for disturbed children into an internationally acclaimed institution, using methods based more on his uncanny intuition thann on any established theory. Here are his huge successes as a teacher and best-selling author. Yeet as Raines makes clear, despite Bettelheim's demonstrably tireless commitment to children, his posthumous reputation remains strongly linked to the controversy surrounding his unorthodox clinical methods, and in particular his use of violence as a way od curbing the self-destructiveness of the children he treated. RISING TO THE LIGHT gives us Bruno Bettelheim in essence as no other book has done. AUTHOR: Theron Raines
