psychiatrist. One evening the Austrian psychiatrist and au- thor Alfred Adler (1870–1937), an associate of Freud, was lec- turing about his theory that people’s handicaps lead to their choice of work. Stutterers often become actors, he maintained, fat boys distance runners, visually deficient people painters, etc. “Dr. Adler,” someone asked after his lecture, “wouldn’t your theory indicate that weak-minded people tend to become psychiatrists?” |
