Abstract
Esther's interpretation of the history and the backstory of Lotte Berk and her original programme.
In Fairfax’s 2010 book, My Improper Mother and Me, there is a gap in Lotte Berk’s history that comes at a pivotal time in the inception of her programme. Although the literature references a car accident as being the catalyst for the development of her programme for the purpose of rehabilitating her injuries, in reality, Berk was recovering from the breakup of an intense love relationship as well as a morphine addiction. This point and other details of Berk’s backstory were clarified during the researcher’s video-recorded interview with Esther Fairfax, Lotte Berk’s daughter.
