The Creation of Dr. B: A Biography of Bruno Bettlheim

Rating:
Summary: Howard Gardner in The Los Angeles Times
Review: [The picture Pollak draws] is sufficiently consistent and sufficiently damning to make it unlikely that subsequent biographers will be able to restore Bettelheim's once fearsome reputation.... Pollak's book does not convict only Bettelheim, it indicts those of his time who knew the man but kept their reservations to themselves
