I'm reminded of a book by Bruno Bettelhiem,

As a side, but related, note:
Bettelheim* was the ass who promoted the notion that autism was caused
by
what he called "refrigerator mothers", rather than the organic disorder
that it actually is.

Oh. *That* asshat.
He did an incredible amount of damage and caused untold pain.

Some people also claim that he did a lot of good. Psychiatry is not an
exact science. There was yet much to be learned when he did his work, and
there is still much that is not fully understood.

It is interesting that he died of suicide in Silver Spring, MD on March 13,
1990. I was wondering if he might have been at Riderwood, but they opened
in 2000.
