This essay summarizes the four careers of George and Louise Spindler over a 50-year period—psychological anthropology, anthropology and education, teaching, and editing. Our relations with Indian tribes with which we worked are described. Special attention is given to illusions affecting the construction of education in American schools, to the use of projective techniques in studies among Native American communitites, and to studies in urbanizing German villages. The concept of cultural therapy is introduced. Publications from each of our four careers are sampled. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
