Third "need" in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Truer of Sensory types than iNtuitive types on the Myers-Briggs scale. These two systems of understanding human behavior make at least some sense of what may seem to us nonsensical.
Such a powerful piece. I’m sad for what you and your kids went through. This has taken place in many homes. The nightmares continue in similar places. Is Bettelheim the one who kept children in crib cages? Or recommended them? My grandkid decided she was a boy at the very beginning of lockdown. Her parents have gone along with everything, including a mutilation. Sterile at the age of 16 and I have no idea if “he” is happy. Off to college this year? I worry. I believe he was injured by the gardisil vax and then psychotropic drugs as none of this was displayed before the gardisil shot I’m sure he got. Horrors engineered by the “experts” in the trail of Satan is how I see it. Child sacrifice 2020’s style.
What a sad story @Janet. Four of my five are spectrum; the oldest two in their mid thirties and only one affected. The third child (now 19) has a mental age of 9-11 and is severely autistic; MMR and overnight regression. Mental strain on us was unbearable. I hope that one day the truth does come out. With US autism rates at 1 in 36 (was at 1 in 1,500 when I was little) and
1 in 28 for boys then at this rate society will implode unless we reverse very quickly and reconsider all jabs.
All jabs revetted. All immunity clauses revoked. All bioweapons research defunded. Any legislato r not willing to make it happen should never see office in Washington DC
Bettelheim was the ultimate mentally disturbed person given too much power that has led to horrible abuses, including Ms Ann's (and Andrew's) nightmare.
The weirdest thing to me is that he was released from two "death camps". How does that work?
I must also ask that if he was such a liar on a grand scale as he was, why would anyone believe any aspect of his "story"?
The best explanation for Betttelheim's horrific misbehaviors is alcohol/other psychoactive drug addiction. While heavy drinking/drug use (especially pills) is often hidden from view not only by the alcoholic and biographers, it's also something historians don't look for. What you don't look for, you don't find. I have found it in Hitler (amphetamines), Mao (barbiturates), Stalin (alcoholism), Mussolini (alcoholism) and the Kim's of North Korea (alcoholics both). I suspect I'd find it in Bettelheim.
"And for all those years, staff watched and participated without a single one of them speaking out."
Mankind in a nutshell. No need to wonder or speculate why most people have become what they are. Despicable.
There seems to be only one principle, that is "to belong".
"Morality" is whatever gets you to "belonging".
Unfortunately.
Third "need" in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Truer of Sensory types than iNtuitive types on the Myers-Briggs scale. These two systems of understanding human behavior make at least some sense of what may seem to us nonsensical.

Fantastic. Thank you.
You're more than welcome to share it! 😘

Absolutely and unequivocally. But what a swamp to drain first…
Your last two sentences... 😳 Possibly you have no idea how close to the truth, you truly are..
Yes. It it becoming more clear everyday since September 2021.
Brilliant and searing piece .
Wish I could hug Andrew’s mom and stepdad and say they are good parents and so sorry.

Because, as recovering addicts put it, alcoholics can sell refrigerators to Eskimos.
That is by far the best explanation for his misbehaviors.
We are supposedly talking about professional mental doctors and the such. Even to this day, his stuff is promoted.
So, the question begs: how does this dumb ole redneck understand these things and the genius doctors do not?
This is heartbreaking, infuriating, and somehow still not very surprising.
Wow Incredible piece Loaded with grief, power, clarity, & tenderness. Thank you for sharing it
Wow! This made me sad. So much so I am crying. Not easy for me.
Just became a paid subscriber. I have learned so much from your work!
Thank you Dave!
Bettleheim blamed mothers for schizophrenia too.
A tremendous essay. Thank you for re-publishing it and introducing me to Ann Bauer.
Like the Catholic priesthood, how the white-robed acolytes of the medical profession retain a shred of credibility is beyond comprehension.
But they do.
And in addition you've proved -- as if I didn't already know -- the Academic Racket is as big a scam as the Religion Racket, and the Medical Racket.
Indeed.
Once you invert truth, a racket emerges to maintain the inversion.
It's like a scaffolding built to hold up an unstable structure.
Large volumes of money and power seem to invert everything they touch.
So, we have, rackets everywhere.
Wow, what a story!
Intense, truthful and illuminating account
Wow. Powerful and heart breaking. Thank you for posting this - A real gem I will save.
