Both Sutton's and Pollak's Bettelheim allegories--the renegade from the narrow Freudian path and the total fraud--have obvious iconic appeal for our post-psychoanalytic era.
When Pollak turns to Bettelheim's career at the Orthogenic School, he indicts the psychoanalyst for wholesale abuse of power and implies a facile symmetry: This camp victim identified with the aggressors, and went on to become a Gestapo figure in his own well-barricaded fortress.
Pollak seizes on the same central fictions that Sutton does, and itemizes every other inaccuracy, or hint of one, that he is able to find--and he certainly looks hard.
Bettelheim's penchant for heroic narrative certainly did bolster his popular image, though Pollak gives ample evidence that his insistence on blaming mothers and claiming miracles also invited skepticism from parents and psychiatrists.
(Pollak questions whether Bettelheim could have sampled as many prisoners as he said he had, and judges his anecdotes to be selective and willfully misinterpreted.)
