Robert M. Lindern is an American psychologist and writer. Born in New York in 1914, studied (received his Ph. D. from Cornwall University) in psychology since 1938. He studied psychoanalysis and hypnotherapy, underwent his own analysis with Theodor Reik.
During World War II, Lieutenant, Chief of the Joint Psychiatric and Psychological Services of the United States Health Service. After the war, he retires, settles in Baltimore, where he leads his own psychoanalytic practice. Among his patients was, in particular, the writer Philip Wiley. Dies of a heart attack in 1956.
In 1944 he wrote Rebel Without a Cause: A Hypnoanalysis of a Criminal Psychopath, which explores the social causes of psychopathy. A film was made based on this book in 1955, which brought Lindern fame. He also writes a number of popular books and articles. So, for example, in 1954 his article was published in which he describes a clinical case of a mental illness of a famous scientist. The story bears very close resemblance to the plot of the 2001 film A Beautiful Mind, directed by Ron Howard, starring Russell Crowe.
Also gaining popularity is his collection of short stories, published in 1955, "An Hour, Fifty Minutes: A Collection of Psychoanalytic Short Stories." One of the stories from this collection "The Girl Who Couldn't Stop Eating" exists in Russian translation. A wonderful story, in artistic form, reproducing one of the cases of his psychoanalytic work (we do not know about the degree of reliability). A patient with severe borderline disorder, suffering from bulimia and the experience of inner emptiness, as a result of psychoanalysis, gains an important understanding for herself that … however, let's not spoil it - read the story for yourself.:)
Robert Lindern dies in February 1956, having just acquired a celebrity and at the very rise of his work, at the age of 42. Perhaps he could have become the Irwin Yalom of that period in the history of American psychotherapy. At least, the power of artistic presentation of psychological material is no worse than that of Yalom. It is pointless to guess now about this, but you can read his books and watch films based on his works. To which I urge all of us.

Forgotten Treasures
