IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Hi all,
I see Rowland Hazard's name spelled as
"Roland" in many seemingly authoritative
documents. Even Dr. Jung's letter to Bill
he spells it "Roland". (Bill spells it
"Rowland")
Which is correct?
Thanks,

From Glenn C., the moderator:
The three most important works on this topic
are all based on a careful study of the
Hazard Family papers which are archived at
the Rhode Island Historical Society in
Providence.
Cora Finch's article also draws on material
in the Yale Collection of American Literature
at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript
Library.
These letters, cancelled checks, and so on,
show that the family spelled the name
"Rowland Hazard," nickname "Roy."

ROWLAND HAZARD WENT TO CARL JUNG FOR
PSYCHOANALYSIS IN 1926, NOT 1931
Bill W. thought that Rowland had gone to see
Carl Jung in 1931, but Richard Dubiel showed
(from letters in the Hazard family papers)
that there was no time in 1931 when Rowland
could have engaged in a long psychoanalysis
by Carl Jung in Switzerland.
Subsequently, Bluhm and Finch, working
independently, discovered in the Hazard
family papers letters (including one from
Rowland Hazard himself, enthusiastically
describing how well his psychoanalysis by
Jung was progessing) which made it clear
that it was 1926 when Rowland was
psychoanalyzed by Jung.
The following is taken from Cora Finch's
article:
- - - -
[In early 1926] Rowland and Helen Hazard had been on vacation in Bermuda
with
Rowland's sister and her husband. Rowland apparently lost control of his
drinking, an argument developed, and Helen sent him home by himself.26 The
letters are vague, but there is an implication that the crisis was
precipitated
by a revelation of infidelity on Rowland's part. Helen cabled Leonard asking
him
to meet Rowland in New York when he arrived on 25 March and take him to Dr.
Riggs' sanitarium in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.27
After listening to Rowland's side of the story, Leonard suspected that the
marital problems were more prominent than the drinking. He encouraged
Rowland
and Helen to consider a different plan. In a letter from Bermuda, Helen
wrote,
"I agree with you that Dr. Riggs does not seem to have had the ability to
help
Roy to help himself."28 Helen returned in early April, and Leonard continued
to
meet with each of them, separately. They agreed that going to Europe to see
Dr.
Jung together would be the best thing.
George Porter, an old friend of Rowland, supported Leonard's campaign of
persuasion.29 Rowland and George were in the same class at Yale, and George
was
an usher in Rowland's wedding. George Porter was a former patient and active
supporter of Jung. Jung's popularity with wealthy Americans had begun with
his
treatment of Porter's friend, Medill McCormick, in 1908.
By 17 April 1926, Rowland and Helen were on a steamer bound for Europe.
After
short stops in London, Paris and Brussels, they arrived in Zurich 6 May. A
letter from Rowland to Leonard, dated only "May 15,"30 is written on the
stationary of the Dolder Grand Hotel of Zurich. Details in that letter match
closely those of a letter from Jung to Leonard dated May 16th, 1926 ("Hazard
and
his wife are here").31 Both letters indicate that Rowland had begun work
with
Jung, and Helen with Jung's assistant, Toni Wolff.

[ROWLAND HAZARD'S MAY 1926 LETTER
DESCRIBING HIS SESSIONS CURRENTLY
GOING ON WITH CARL JUNG]
"I think we get along splendidly. The first
day he saw me, J. asked for dreams. That night
I produced three corkers — He read them and
remarked, "these are fine, fine — but for
God's sake don't dream any more" We've been
at work interpreting them and it all seems
most fascinating and logical to me."
"Old boy, this is the dope for me, I'm sure.
Thank God for it, and for you for sending
me here." 32
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On 24 June 1926, Rowland's bank account showed an expense of $5,002.50, "to
cover charge put through by F.L. & T. Co. a/c sum cabled to RH on his
request."
It is itemized to "travel."33 The equivalent in today's dollars would be
more
than $50,000. Some of the money would have been needed for hotel expenses
and
meals, but even the Hazards could not have spent very much of it on travel.
Most
of the money was presumably needed to cover Jung's fees.
The New York Times social notes column of 24 July 1926 included a mention
that
"Mr. and Mrs. Rowland Hazard of Peace Dale, RI are at the Ritz-Carlton." By
2
August, Rowland was back in Peace Dale. He told Aunt Caroline about his
analysis
and showed her the drawings he had made ("The drawings are quite
astonishing,
symbolical things — Roy seems well and vigorous").34
NOTES
27. Rowland had stayed at the sanitarium during the summer of 1925 and
visited
Dr. Riggs about once a month through the end of that year, and at least once
in
1926 (bank account ledger, Rhode Island Historical Society). Austen Fox
Riggs,
according to John M. Hadley in his Clinical and Counseling Psychology (New
York:
Knopf, 1958), "was eminently successful in using methods of reeducation and
environmental control. He was opposed to psychoanalytic theory although he
recognized the significance of early experiences in the development of
psychoneuroses." p 216

The Rev. Joseph C. Martin, Leading Authority on
Alcoholism and Addiction Treatment, Dies at 84
Catholic Priest Co-Founded Father Martin's
Ashley Treatment Center in Maryland
HAVRE DE GRACE, Md., March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The Rev. Joseph C. Martin,
S.S.,
noted authority and lecturer on alcoholism who co-founded Father Martin's
Ashley, an addiction treatment center in Havre de Grace, MD, died today at
his
home in Havre de Grace. He was 84.
Best known for his lectures on alcoholism as a disease, delivered to
alcoholics
and their families with his charismatic style and sense of humor, Fr. Martin
is
credited with saving the lives of thousands of alcoholics and addicts. While
he
retired from active management in 2003, he continued to lecture at Father
Martin's Ashley, addressing patients as recently as November 2008.
"Today, the entire treatment community mourns the loss of an icon," said the
Rev. Mark Hushen, president and chief executive officer of Father Martin's
Ashley. "The death of Father Martin marks the end of an era.
"His world renowned 'Chalk Talk on Alcohol' changed the lives of thousands
of
recovering alcoholics," Hushen said. "His humor and spirituality infused his
teachings with hope. He believed in the innate dignity of the human person
and
founded Father Martin's Ashley as an oasis where alcoholics and addicts
could
heal."
Fr. Martin's "Chalk Talk on Alcohol" lecture, which began: "I'm Joe Martin,
and
I'm an alcoholic," and more than 40 motivational films, are legendary. His
films, which have been translated into multiple languages, continue to be
used
at treatment centers around the world, in hospitals, substance abuse
programs,
industry, and most branches of the U.S. government. He is the author of
several
publications, including Chalk Talks on Alcohol, published by Harper & Row in
1982, which is still in print.
Fr. Martin and Father Martin's Ashley co-founder Mae Abraham raised funds to
buy
and renovate Oakington, the estate owned by the widow of U.S. Senator
Millard
Tydings located on the Chesapeake Bay near Havre de Grace. The center, which
opened in 1983, has since provided treatment to more than 40,000 people
suffering from the disease of addiction and has provided program services to
their families. Two years after Father Martin's Ashley opened its doors,
Forbes
magazine ranked it as one of the top ten addiction treatment facilities in
the
country. Today, patients come from the East Coast and across the U.S. to the
85-bed facility, which has a reputation for treating alcohol and drug
addiction
and relapse with respect for the dignity of each individual who enters its
doors.
In 1972, the U.S. Navy filmed Martin's "The Blackboard Talk," which they
then
dubbed "The Chalk Talk." It became known throughout the U.S. military and
established Fr. Martin as a recognized leader in the addiction treatment
field.
In 1991, Fr. Martin was invited by Pope John Paul II to participate in the
Vatican's International Conference on Drugs and Alcohol. He made four trips
to
Russia under the auspices of the International Institute on Alcohol
Education
and Training, and also traveled to Switzerland and Poland to speak to
Alcoholics
Anonymous groups as well as to addiction counselors in training.
Fr. Martin's honors and awards include the Andrew White Medal from Loyola
College, Baltimore, for his contributions to the general welfare of the
citizenry of Maryland; Rutgers University's Summer School of Alcohol
Studies'
Distinguished Service Award (1988); and Norman Vincent Peale Award (1992).
Born the fourth of seven children in Baltimore on October 12, 1924, Fr.
Martin
graduated from Loyola High School in 1942, where he was valedictorian. He
then
attended Loyola College (1942-44). He studied for the priesthood at St.
Mary's
Seminary and St. Mary's Roland Park in Baltimore (1944-48), and was ordained
a
priest of the Society of Saint Sulpice, whose mission is to train and
educate
seminarians, in 1948.
Fr. Martin held teaching positions at St. Joseph's College in Mountain View,
CA
(1948-56) and St. Charles College, Catonsville, MD (1956-59).
In 1958, Fr. Martin began his recovery from alcoholism. Following treatment,
he
worked as a lecturer and educator in the Division of Alcohol Control for the
state of Maryland prior to founding Father Martin's Ashley.
"As Father Martin passes through death to life, his legacy lives on at
Ashley as
we continue his mission of hope and healing," said Fr. Hushen. "Truly, the
world
is a better place for his having been here."
Fr. Martin is survived by Mae and Tommy Abraham, with whom he lived for more
than 30 years, siblings Dorothy, Frances, and Edward; and numerous nieces,
nephews, and their children.
The viewing will be held on Thursday, March 12,
from 1 pm to 9 pm at St. Mary's Seminary in
Baltimore.
Fr. Martin's Mass of Celebration of the
Resurrection will be held on Friday, March 13
at 10 am at the Basilica of the National
Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, Cathedral Street, Baltimore,
Maryland. Interment will be private.

In remembrance of Father Martin...
Father Joseph C. Martin, S.S. - October 12,
1924 - March 9, 2009. "My name is Joe Martin,
and I'm an alcoholic." Father Martin first
uttered this statement in 1958, when he was
in treatment for alcoholism at the Guest House,
what would prove to be a refuge for him from
his drinking and a turning point in his life.
His personal journey in recovery prompted a
celebrated career in which his only aim was
to ease the suffering of individuals and
families, around the world, affected by
addiction.
He was born on October 12, 1924 in Baltimore,
Maryland . He quickly developed a fondness
for religion and faith. People fondly recall
his special story-telling ability and wonderful
sense of humor. In 1942, Father Martin
graduated from Loyola College and entered
St. Mary's seminary. He was ordained a priest
in 1948 and underwent rigorous training to
become a Sulpician, a highly regarded teaching
society within the Catholic Church. After
losing this coveted distinction as a result
of his drinking, only in sobriety did he
regain this title.
Father Martin taught minor seminarians and
fulfilled several teaching roles within the
church. It was very evident that he possessed
a special ability to educate but his drinking
became very troublesome and he was eventually
directed to seek help at the Guest House.
Father Martin frequently cited the tremendous
impact his mentor Austin Ripley had on his
journey in recovery. Many of Father Martin's
teachings originated in concepts he learned
while at the Guest House. His enthusiasm for
sobriety coupled with his passion for teaching
evolved into an unending quest to ease the
suffering of individuals and families affected
by addiction. In his career, spanning more than
35 years, Father Martin was catapulted into
international acclaim as a prized speaker and
educator on addiction and recovery thru the
Twelve Steps. He founded Kelly Productions in
1972 and used it as a platform to capture the
minds and hearts of millions of people.
Father Martin's message is no less relevant
today than in 1972. He will continue to inspire
love, service, helpfulness to others, and
recovery through the use of his films, audio
lectures, and books. In his last year, he
shared his vision that he can be remembered so
that the still suffering individual affected
by addiction might benefit from his God-inspired
message of hope.

Thank you for this, it has long been my
belief that Bill W's spirituality is best
defined as New Age Spirituality, rather than
fundamentalist Christian spirituality.
This information helps to confirm my
suspicions that Bill was actually very
eclectic in his approach to spirituality
and might even been seen as a heretic by
