I Never Promised You a Rose Garden ... Posted: 08-01-04 02:10am
Was a book written by a person a young
lady with schizophrenia back in the 60 's
and became a national best seller . I am
most impressed with her real life
psychiatrist, dr freida reichman - fromm .
The book gives each the patient and the
doctor pen names of course but freida
fromm 's husband erich fromm wrote, the
art of loving in 1956 which next to the
bible of course is the best I 've ever
read . Laura

Fromm, both renowned psychologists of
their times, and ours, as well, and this
brings up a good question ! Just because
we 're living in the new millenium does
that mean we should only listen to the
most current authors on the new york times
bestseller list or should we read and re -
read the authors who we find the most
truth in ? Such as erich fromm for me .
He was a social psychologist . And,
erich 's wife, frieda fromm - riechman .
She was a psychiatrist who specialized in
schizophrenia . And, we also have now,
frieda fromm - riechman 's patient who the
book refers to as " dorothy " but, gives
a pen name of "joann greenberg " and, I
believe her real name was hannah green ?
Anyway, please , look up, I never promised
you a rose garden, which was written by
one of frieda fromm 's patients, who was
diagnosed with schizophrenia . The book
calls frieda fromm - riechman, " dr
fried " . Frieda fromm 's speciality was
that of schizophrenia . The book I
believe was written or first published in
'64 and then published again in '72 ? Or
close to those dates, anyway . So, but if
you want current stuff only just leave it
on your coffee table beside your dusty
bible . Peace love woodstock laura

I haven't read either fromm but have heard
of them both & I totally agree that
too many people throw away
ideas/books/people simply because they're
not "new" or modern or young. Instead of
stopping to read, listen etc &
consider whether what is said/written is
useful/good etc.
