		Edward Bernays (November 22, 1891 - March 9, 1995) is regarded by many as the "father of public relations," although some people believe that title properly belongs to some other early PR practitioner, such as Ivy Lee[?].
		Born in Vienna, Bernays was a nephew of Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, and his public relations efforts helped popularize Freud’s theories in the United States.
		In a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt, Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter[?] described Bernays and Ivy Lee as "professional poisoners of the public mind, exploiters of foolishness, fanaticism and self-interest." And history itself showed the flaw in Bernays’s claim that "manipulation of the masses" is natural and necessary in a democratic society.

		Edward Bernays (November 22, 1891 – March 9, 1995) nephew of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, was considered the father of the field of public relations.
		Bernays was one of the first to attempt to manipulate public opinion using the psychology of the subconscious.
		Bernays, however, was a philosopher of promotion, and it was probably that philosophical quality, evident in his writings and speeches, as well as the sheer exuberant creativity and intelligence of his publicity blitzes, which enabled him to impart to his own efforts and to the field more generally a sense of stature, scope and profundity.

		Edward L. Bernays' progressive ideas and creative innovations have greatly affected the lives and behavior of the public, and have earned him the title of 'father of public relations.' Bernays is credited with creating the term 'public relations counselor' and with turning the field of public relations into an industry.
		Outside the public relations field, where Bernays is a legend, people such as Povich who have never heard of him, are fascinated to learn how his radical ideas and brilliant innovations have influenced their lives and behavior.
		Bernays, who taught what was probably the first course ever in public relations, in New York University's School of Business and Finance, says: "I purposely didn't give it in the school of journalism.

		Bernays was also a far-sighted architect of modern propaganda techniques who, dramatically, from the early 1920s onward, helped to consolidate a fateful marriage between theories of mass psychology and schemes of corporate and political persuasion.
		Bernays' take on public relations was remarkable in that it tended to ignore the particular processes, or details, of the periods which had given rise to it.
		Bernays was the child of an haute bourgeois world that was, in many ways, still captivated by aristocratic styles of wealth, where relations between the classes were marked, to a large extent, by deep-seated patterns of allegiance of obedience and obligation between masters and servants.

		Bernays regarded Uncle Sigmund as a mentor, and used Freud's insights into the human psyche and motivation to design his PR campaigns, while also trading on his famous uncle's name to inflate his own stature.
		Bernays, by contrast, used psychological techniques to mask the motives of his clients, as part of a deliberate strategy aimed at keeping the public unconscious of the forces that were working to mold their minds.
		Bernays relished and apparently never regretted his work for United Fruit, for which he was reportedly paid $100,000 a year, a huge fee in the early 1950s.

		Edward Bernays almost single-handedly fashioned the craft that has come to be called public relations.
		Bernays was the man who, more than any other, got women to smoke and who put bacon and eggs on breakfast tables, Ivory in soapdishes, books in bookshelves, and Calvin Coolidge back in the White House.
		I met Edward Bernays only once-on a sweltering summer afternoon a year before his death, when he was a very old man. Sitting in the library of the rambling white Victorian house in Cambridge that was his home for more than thirty years, he rambled on.

		Bernays hired a bunch of women to pose as suffragettes in a parade, and had them pull out cigarettes in front of a group of reporters, calling them “torches of freedom.” He succeeded in making women's smoking an issue of women's rights, and women never went back.
		One example given of Bernays' work in the 50s came when a ruler came to power in Guatemala and promised to get rid of all the US companies in the country, which controlled their large banana business.
		Advertisers did extensive focus groups [Bernays, by the way, also invented the focus group] and discovered that a great many of the people who became involved in the counterculture of the 60s weren't so much looking for political change so much as excited by the idea of personal expression.

		Bernays later said, "Public relations had passed a milestone on the road to public understanding and respect." For here was a coordinated, planned effort which demonstrated that the consent of the public to an idea could be engineered if the time for the idea had come.

		The book overflows with Bernays' accomplishments and details about his life (even about his retirement home), but Tye fails to draw the facts together to paint a portrait of the man. There is little discussion of how, or why, Bernays did it all.
		Bernays' strategy was to push the country to behave in ways that were favorable to his clients.

		Bernays took propaganda seriously for his career work: he combined individual and social psychology, public opinion studies, political persuasion and advertising to construct “necessary illusions” which filtered out to the masses as “reality.”

Sigmund Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays, took the techniques he learned in the CPI directly to Madison Avenue and became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic government.

		Bernays brought his uncle's books to America, found a publisher for them and discovered ingenious ways to advance the significance of their ideas in the mainstream press.
		Bernays was among the first to understand that one of the implications of the subconscious mind was that it could be appealed to in order to sell products and ideas.
		Bernays, particularly after the rise and fall of the Third Reich (Goebbels was an assiduous student of his methods), thought that the safest way of maintaining democracy was to distract people from dangerous political thought by letting them think that their real choices were as consumers.

		Although Bernays did not invent public relations and was not completely responsible for its development, Tye argues that he was one of its most capable and influential champions.
		In this and other campaigns, Tye explains, Bernays gained an edge over his competitors -- and helped reshape the way the publicity industry was run -- by drawing on the discipline of psychoanalysis to understand the market.
		Bernays, he points out, benefited from outliving -- and thus out-talking -- his contemporaries, which often allowed him to overemphasize the success and influence of his theories and campaigns.
