Robert Lindner's 1944 classic Rebel Without a Cause follows the
successful analysis and hypnosis of a criminal psychopath, Harold.
In full transcriptions of their forty-six sessions, Lindner takes
his patient into the depths and recesses of his childhood memories.
Plumbing the free-associative monologues for clues to unlock the
causes of Harold's criminal behavior, Lindner portrays a man cut
off from himself and unable to attach to others. Following the
threads uncovered in the sessions, Lindner reveals to Harold
long-hidden incidents from his infancy and childhood that served to
propel him toward a troubled and chaotic adulthood, full of armed
robbery, break-ins, and random sexual encounters. With care and
diligence, patient and analyst begin to excavate events from
Harold's childhood and reconstruct them as a foundation for
analysis, allowing Harold to confront his demons. Heralded as a
classic upon its publication, Rebel Without a Cause is the tale of
a masterful analysis that is still relevant today, against the
complex issues of sanity, rehabilitation, and crime that resonate
in our legal system.
