5 Dr. John Rosen founded a branch of Freudian psychoanalysis, first known as direct analysis and later as direct psychoanalysis, in the late 1940s. Frustrated by the general reluctance to use psychoanalysis instead of pharmacology to treat pathology, Rosen studied psychiatry and published papers on his methods of resolving psychosis with direct analytic therapy. His approach gained momentum in the 1950s. By the 1960s, criticism of his methods exploded, and he was accused of “ignoring the plight of 60,000 retarded” in his position as chairman of the Philadelphia Health Department’s Board of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. Former patients accused him of abuse, both physical and sexual, and one patient died in his care. Rosen, then 78, denied all charges, but two of his aides pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

20 Alden Whitman (1914–1990) was a retired reporter for the New York Times who pioneered the use of interviews of notable people to personalize their obituaries. In 1968, he became the first journalist in more than thirty years with whom Lindbergh talked at length. He traveled with Lindbergh in the Philippines and United States to gather information for a book he was planning to write about Lindbergh’s later years and effo
rts to conserve land and wildlife.
