Michael et al: Bettelheim's beautifully written, poignant, and in my view
exceedingly dangerous book, "The Empty Fortress," dealt with infantile
autism, not childhood schizophrenia, although some critics have charged
(based on his case descriptions) that many of his "autistic" children were
probably misdiagnosed children with schizophrenia.

On a slightly unrelated note, and as some of you probably know, Fromm was
for a time married to a well known psychoanalyst (Freida Fromm-Reichman)
who
was responsible primarily for the now greatly decried concept of the
"schizophrenogenic" (schizophrenia-inducing) mother.

I thought it was Bruno Bethelheim (sp) who came up with the idea of
mothers as devouring withches responsible for schizophrenia.I will have to
read The Empty Fortress again.
