Dialektikon - Leon Redler Interview

Description: American anti-psychiatrist; a close friend of Joe Berke; and one of the four founder members of the Institute of Phenomenological Studies (IPS). Redler was educated at Albert Einstein College, N.Y., and then at Maxwell Jones’s Dingleton Hospital - like several other American anti-psychiatrists with links to Kingsley Hall and the organisation of the congress. An important peace activist on campus and committed to civil rights, Redler brought to the congress a keen eye for some of its more modish absurdities. A thoughtful man deep in Zen; quiet, troubled, observant.
