摘要

This article summarizes events surrounding the closing of Chestnut Lodge, as a backdrop to the author's reactions on reading Frieda Fromm-Reichmann's biography. This anecdotal piece forms a complementary essay with the 2000 Frieda Fromm-Reichmann Lecture, "The Current Relevance of Fromm-Reichmann's Works." It illustrates aspects of treatment of schizophrenia and of the individuals involved in such work.
