Ita Wegman is not only an inspiring genius of Anthroposophy, but she is also a healing genius of anthroposophic medicine. Perseverance, courage, greatness mark her being. Emanuel Zeylmans van Emmichoven. With great empathy, delicacy, and directness, Peter Selg recounts, in three lectures, the moving story of Ita Wegman and her relationship with Rudolf Steiner in the context of the development of anthroposophic medicine and the formation of the Medical Section of the School for Spiritual Science. Steiner had suffered patiently until the right personIta Wegmanarrived to guide spiritual sciences healing mission into the medical field. In the fall of 1920, Ita Wegman founded a medical clinic in Arlesheim. From then on, she and Rudolf Steiner worked together, both medically and spiritually, gradually unveiling a karmic working relationship unique in Steiners life. Thus the stage is set. "By taking in the war-traumatized children we will not lose sight of our task in curative education, on the contrary, it is the actual realization of this task, and if one cannot see that, one is not going forward with the big strides of time. I assure you that I will not fall into small steps; I want to stay with the big strides." Ita Wegman,(August 20, 1942). The second lecture focuses on anthroposophic curative, or therapeutic, education: the social center, the heart even, of Ita Wegmans Medical Section. To make a commitment to children with severe obstacles in their incarnation, out of spiritual insight into the human being and the wider karmic context, and to make this commitment as a group of people working out of a Christian-religious impulsethis was for Ita Wegman the true anthroposophic medicine. Dr. Selg then describes Dr. Wegmans heroic efforts to create a true community of physicians working anthroposophically out of Rudolf Steiners indications and in the spirit of Christ; how she looked after her colleagues, always seeking to wake them up to the destiny of their own being. As well, she sought to resist all that was happening in Nazi Germany, never forgetting Rudolf Steiners warning: In the future the Anthroposophical Society will be faced with the crucial decision of whether responsibilities will be met or not. And here exactly lies the heart of this wonderful book: the inner struggle to make love responsible.
