    Journal Article

    ...the purpose of this "Brief Note" is to 1) examine the evidence that Mrs. Kennedy actually consulted with Erikson regarding the welfare of her children sometime after the President's assassination, and asked Erikson to work directly with JFK Jr. and Caroline; 2) explore the context (time and place) and frequency of such consultation visits; and 3) speculate on the nature and procedures of the consultation process, while respecting the confidentiality of the therapeutic process and Erikson's assessment of the children's mental health. First person documents focus on actual statements and other artifacts (e.g., letters, recorded audio and video interviews, diaries, drawings) of the historical subjects. ...person document sources included three biographies that discuss to varying degrees the Kennedy family-Erikson meetings, namely, Friedman's (1999) Identity's Architect, Taraborrelli's (2019) Kennedy Heirs, and Klein's (1998) fustfackie. According to Friedman (1999), "There is some evidence (although it is not entirely conclusive) that several weeks after the murder she asked Erikson to help her son and possibly her daughter, as well" (p. 331).
