    Dr. Bernhardt Blumenthal (d. 2012, age 75) was a La Salle graduate of the class of 1955 where he majored in German. After graduating from La Salle he earned his master\u27s in German from Northwestern University, earned a Fulbright scholarship to study in Germany for a year and returned to begin his doctorate in German Literature at Princeton University.

The purpose and topic of this interview was to sit down with Dr. Blumenthal and conduct an oral history of his life and career as an academic, expert on German language and literature and to discuss how La Salle University has changed over the years and where it is going in the future. This interview deals with Dr. Blumenthal\u27s formative years growing up in Philadelphia and his academic life which took him first to La Salle as an undergraduate and later to Northwestern University for his master\u27s degree and his Ph.D. at Princeton University.

    A question of trust with psychoanalyst Dr Stephen Blumenthal

    No full text
    This is our first listener requested episode. "Joanne" (not her real name) asked us if we could do an episode on trust, after her husband had an affair. Although Joanne asked some specific questions ("how do I get the trust back/is it good to talk about it"), Dr Blumenthal and I discuss this but also what trust is at its core, beyond romantic relationships, what it means to trust, how do we trust, is it necessary to trust someone to love them, and how to get trust back when it's been lost. Dr Blumenthal spoke so eloquently in series 2, on Intimacy, and that is a great companion piece to this one
