This book explores the life and work of a neglected figure in the
history of psychoanalysis, Karl Stern, who brought Freudian theory
and practice to Catholic (and Christian) audiences around the
world.Karl Stern was a German-Jewish neurologist and psychiatrist
who fled Germany in 1937 - first to London, then to Canada, where
he taught at McGill University and the University of Ottawa,
becoming Chief of Psychiatry at several major clinics in Ottawa and
Montreal between 1952 and 1968, when he went into private practice.
In 1951 he published The Pillar of Fire, a memoir that chronicled
his childhood, adolescence and early adulthood, his medical and
psychiatric training, his first analysis, and his serial
flirtations with Jewish Orthodoxy, Marxism and Zionism - all in the
midst of the galloping Nazification of Germany. It also explored
the long-standing inner-conflicts that preceded Stern's conversion
to Catholicism in 1943.
