Description: Hubbard lectures on Dr. Frieda Fromm-Reichmann's method of mimicking a psychotic person.
Now, ole’ Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, the great Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, has a process which is intensely successful. If she knew where to go from there, she would be a great psychiatrist. She is the greatest in the United States and the world, almost, today, but that doesn’t make her a very great psychiatrist.
Anyway, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann will go into the cell with a madman who is standing there gibbering and raising, and if he will reach down and pick up a handful of excretion and throw it against the wall, why Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, the dear old lady, will suddenly reach down, pick up a handful of excretion and throw it against the wall. Anything a psycho does, she’ll do. And they, all of a sudden, start talking to her. Isn’t this peculiar? And then, God help her, she goes on and uses analysis. There is the effective process. Not just to get somebody in communication.
