Psychotherapy

I just read the article in the May 3 issue about Frieda Fromm-Reichmann. It was very moving to me because we here in America have really repudiated much valuable psychotherapy in favor of a pharmacological approach with minimal psychotherapeutic intervention. I have been speaking when I could in favor of the psychotherapeutic approach in serious mental illness, and I am deeply gratified that in Germany, Frieda is still aktwell.

Footnote

Editor’s note: Ms. Greenberg—alias “Hannah Green”—was a patient of Fromm-Reichmann, and it was Greenberg’s best-selling novel I Never Promised You a Rose Garden that immortalized Fromm-Reichmann to the American public.
