Eugene Heimler’s self-help method of social functioning has been developedand tested – and proved extraordinarily successful – for over forty years. Here hedescribes in detailed theory and through cases his interviewing and therapeutictechniques, in which a relationship of equality between ‘helper’ and ‘helped’ isparamount.His aim has been to help people as individuals and in groups to make the most oftheir abilities, however latent, and to use positively their inner resources and pastexperience. He sees not only the past as influencing the present but present actionsdetermining what we select from the past. Success or failure to function withinourselves and in society depends on the balance between satisfaction, definedas the ability to use one’s potential, and frustration, defined as one’s inability touse it. Too little frustration can be as damaging as too much: to function normallywe constantly transform frustration into satisfaction. In other words, success isone’s ability to transform the unacceptable – to oneself and to society – into theacceptable.Throughout the book emphasis is placed on the importance for the individual ofmaking his own decisions. Here he is helped by Heimler’s decision-making tool –his scale of social functioning – which enables him to understand his life situationand to act accordingly. The scale is of diagnostic value to the therapist, but its mainuse is to the patient.Professor Heimler’s method has been applied both to people in need of treatmentand to ‘healthy’ individuals who want to explore their untapped potentials; it hasbeen used by teachers at all educational levels to help students become morecreative, in the employer/employee relationship, and by social workers in all fields.Heimler owes much to many past and contemporary practitioners. The originalityof his work lies in his synthesis of existing theories and practices into a successfulworking method.

Night Of The Mist

When the Germans invaded Hungary in 1944, Eugene Heimler was twenty-one. His father, a socialist as well as a Jew, was arrested by the Gestapo and never seen again. Mr. Heimler and his new wife were taken from a Hungarian ghetto and deported in a cattle truck to Auschwitz. His wife and family died there, but he survived to be taken to Buchenwald and other camps in Germany. At the end of the European war, he escaped and found his way back to his native country. NIGHT OF THE MIST is an account of a young man’s experience under the Gestapo. It records the day-to-day events, the miserable conditions of existence, the physical suffering endured by the prisoners. But Eugene Heimler goes beyond a factual record of events. With a gifted insight he describes the deeper effects of suffering – on their minds. He writes not only of himself but of many others imprisoned with him: of the doctor and the architect, no longer middle-class gentlemen of authority, but near animals; of the girl, once gentle and intelligent, now offering her diseased body for a crust of bread; of the man who spent twelve years in prison for the murder of his wife, and who in the inferno of a concentration camp found meaning in life.Yet, though he knew the worst of humanity, Heimler was able to regain his faith in God and in the dignity of man. He does not hate; and the horror of his experience is transcended by his compassion and deep understanding of spiritual values. The true message of his book is not one of horror, but of hope.
