Famed German therapist Margarete Mitscherlich dies
She was a figurehead of psychotherapy and feminism, and a prolific
author to the last. Margarete Mitscherlich has died aged 94 in
Frankfurt. She co-wrote one of Germany's most famous and significant
post-war books ... a collaborative work with her husband, Alexander
[whom she] met when researching the mass hysteria of the Nazi era
among ordinary German people.
They published "Die Unfähigkeit zu trauern" ("The Inability to Mourn")
in 1967, an exploration of Germany's attempts to come to terms with
the Second World War in the era of post-war Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
The couple concluded that not enough had been done to address the Nazi
era, and called on Germans to embark on more collective attempts to do
so.
