“profound life lessons that in pursuing what one was working on, that you had to get outside of the constraints that the environment placed on you and recognize the nascent opportunities out there, no matter how out of the box and how unorthodox they were in order to have a real impact. That was a key to my father's survival, but it was also a key for the way my father turned this process of evaluating people for disability pensions, turn that into the foundation for helping to open up the field of post-traumatic stress disorder and have a huge positive impact. So I have no doubt that my father's life experience”

“Trying to understand the roots of resilience and vulnerability and to develop treatments that would help people to manage the impact of psychological traumas. That was his life work and profoundly inspiring for me. I've always felt that there was no challenge that I could ever face, no obstacle that I could ever meet that would ever match the challenges that my father's father faced in his life and the kind of perspective that my dad brought to his own life challenges the way that he survived in the concentration camps of recognizing and seizing opportunities that arose for him and realizing what was happening and seizing these kinds of opportunities which enabled him to survive.”

“And the second thing was that he was in a nearly impossible position, which was that he was evaluating people for psychological damages related to their Holocaust experience. And this was in the 1950s, 1960s, almost 20 years before the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder existed. What happened was that he and a colleague of his Bill Niederland from New York, they developed this idea of survivor syndrome, the psychological consequences of trauma that became one of the cornerstones along with the work of many others such as Robert J. Lifton and others for what became the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder. And his work throughout his career about the”

“And ironically, my name is John J O H N, which is not commonly the name given to Jewish children, who often name Jonathan instead, but I'm called John because I'm named after doctor Dorsey, who was Irish. So my dad became a psychiatrist, and in his work evaluated people who survived the Holocaust for reparations to the German government. And this was both an incredibly meaningful task, but also one that was extremely challenging for many reasons. One is that he had to relive his own traumas in the process of working with more than a thousand people that he evaluated for reparations from the German government for their traumas.”

“A scholarship to Wayne State University for college and then another scholarship to go to medical school. And along the way he mastered English and settled into the United States and he became very powerfully influenced by the chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Wayne State University, whose name was John Dorsey, who had been analyzed by Freud, whose view of psychiatry had to do with people embracing all aspects of themselves and becoming kind of integrated human beings and that that was a path towards both a healthy life and a fulfilling life, which was an idea that my father also not only embraced in his work but embracing in his life.”

“My father was a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst named Henry Crystal, and he passed away a number of years ago. He was born in the town of Soviets in Poland in nineteen twenty five, and at the age of fourteen was captured by the Nazis who were rounding up the Jews in his area of Poland and sent through a series of concentration camps. Importantly, you know, names people would probably recognize would be Auschwitz, Saxonhausen Buchenwald, and he survived the concentration camps, and he was the only member of his family to survive. So he was captured at the age of fourteen, and by 1718 when he came out of the camps was alone in the world essentially. He went to school.”
