TITLE
Dr. Frieda Fromm-Reichmann: Creativity in Psychotherapy
DESCRIPTION
Dr. Frieda Fromm-Reichmann stands as a giant in the history of Psychotherapy. Though a psychoanalyst, she pioneered therapy at the famous Chestnut Lodge hospital in the Washington, DC area. She brought her genius to bear in her cases and was not bound by the rigidity of the analytic method. Probably the most famous case was written as “I never promised you a rose garden.” The brief article is a worthwhile read for any interested in the history of the field.
