I found them particularly of use for my issues with PTSD, and the feeling, in review, of my life of having been torn down and coming back stronger every time.

I borrowed one from the Kindle library and bought the other.

To say I was stoked would be an understatement. However, I think it's 2016, his books became available via digital through. I had stumbled up on Dabrowski a couple of years ago, and did not have the funds to get the book, nor was I able to find it in libraries. He passed away in Warsaw in 1980 after suffering a heart attack in 1979. He also served as Visiting Professor at Laval University in Quebec from 1968. Throughout his career he taught and lectured at many universities around the world, including a professorship in experimental psychology at Warsaw in 1956 and, from 1964 on, the position of Professor and Director of Clinical Research and Internship at the University of Alberta. After his release, strict restraints were placed on his activities until he was declared ‘rehabilitated’ in 1956. In 1950, the communist authorities arrested him and his wife, and he was incarcerated for 18 months. Under Nazi occupation, he and his colleagues used the facility to hide Polish resistance soldiers, refugees, doctors and priests involved in the underground movement. In 1935 he founded the Institute of Mental Hygiene in Warsaw, Poland, which he directed until 1948. In addition to Stekel, Dabrowski studied under some of the most prominent figures in his field, both in Poland and abroad, including Jean Piaget, Pierre Janet, Édouard Claparède, and Stefan Blachowski. He received degrees in medicine (University of Geneva, 1929) and psychology (Poznan, 1931), certificates in psychoanalysis (under Wilhelm Stekel in Vienna, 1934) and public health (Harvard University, 1934), and habilitations in children’s psychotherapy (University of Geneva, 1934) and psychiatry (University of Wrocław, 1948), among other honours and achievements. Kazimierz Dabrowski (September 1, 1902–November 26, 1980) was a psychologist, psychiatrist, educator, and prolific writer, publishing over 30 books and 250 papers in various languages during his lifetime.
