{"product_id":"father-have-i-kept-my-edith-weisskopf-joelson-9781557533630","title":"Father, Have I Kept My Promise?: Madness as Seen from Within","description":"In 1937 Edith had received a doctorate in psychology from the University of Vienna, and high recommendations from her famous teachers. Her career prospects looked bright indeed. But a year later, she was a refugee from Hitler's war on Jews. She left her Nazi-occupied homeland and immigrated to the United States in 1939. In the United States, she pursued her career in psychology as a professor at prominent universities as well as a clinical consultant for the State of Indiana. As a psychology professor at Purdue, she contracted tuberculosis and spent 1962-64 in a tuberculosis hospital. Before she was released, she began to experience instances of schizophrenia. In this condition, she taught at St. Mary-of the-Woods College in Terre Haute, Indiana, for a year. Just before her stay there was to end, a priest discovered her mental illness. All through her mental illness, she kept a diary chronicling her schizophrenic episode. \u003ci\u003eFather, Have I Kept My Promise?\u003c\/i\u003e is that diary-turned-book. Part of the book's charm is Edith's honesty-she does not bide anything from her reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edith Weisskopf-Joelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557533636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557533630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Purdue University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.08w x 0.44d","brand":"Edith Weisskopf-Joelson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987882017023,"sku":"9781557533630","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e7f96ea-a08e-4b72-95e7-c49bf8d3cd78.jpg?v=1683291410","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/father-have-i-kept-my-edith-weisskopf-joelson-9781557533630","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
