Example text

11 With its small group of specially recruited faculty and students, Lewin’s Research Center played an important role in the origin of experimental social psychology. Thus, as a young man Mort was given the exciting opportunity to work alongside such notable figures as Leon Festinger, Stanley Schachter, John Thibaut, Ronald Lippitt, Kurt Back, Dorwin Cartwright, Albert Pepitone, Alvin Zander, Alex Bavelas, John R. P. French and Harold Kelley. Such an environment — its prolific publications dominated experimental and applied psychology in the US — clearly stimulated Mort’s thinking and research.

So there was the Mort who made evaluations, and then there was the Mort who played his role as the sort of even-handed mentor whose job was to help people get through. ” Madeleine Heilman and Harvey Hornstein, both students of Mort’s who married, have a particularly close relationship with Mort. “Our children treat Mort and Lydia like their grandparents. We were both very prized students, and he was just thrilled when the two of us got together,” Madeleine says. Although Mort was committed to not having religious rituals in his house, he and Lydia would go to the Hornsteins’ Seder every year at Passover, as members of the family.

Harvey would never have made it, not because Harvey isn’t smart, Harvey is very smart, but Mort saw in him something that he didn’t see in himself. And more than anybody else, I think that it’s like a father and son relationship in a very nice way. ” Mort and Harvey were good friends even before Harvey’s marriage to Madeleine. Barbara says Madeleine is a warm, interpersonally competent, delightful woman who is easy to relate to, and thinks that her warm friendship with Lydia is the complement of Mort’s friendship with Harvey.
