(1978) Mental health: philosophical perspectives, Dordrecht, Springer.
In the Summer of 1965, some months after I first met Erwin Straus and his confidant and collaborator, the late Richard Griffith, I was privileged to participate and work in their research setting in Lexington, Kentucky, a city now celebrated as the home of the Lexington Conferences on Pure and Applied Phenomenology, the fifth of which convened in 1972.2 On the occasion of my visit I began my own compilation and personal study of Professor Straus' complete writings,3 beginning with "Zur Pathogenese des chronischen Morphinismus' [10], his inaugural dissertation, published in 1919 upon attaining his doctorate in medicine at the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin.
