	Nathaniel Branden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nathaniel Branden is a psychotherapist and author of psychology books and multiple articles on ethical and political philosophy.
		Branden has since rejected certain elements of the Objectivist philosophy, particularly its cognitivist view of psychology, and his memoirs chronicle many of the emotionally repressive elements of Rand, some of which he argues show up in her fiction.
		Nathaniel Branden continues to write and practice psychotherapy in Los Angeles, California, as well as present seminars and workshops on self-esteem.

	Barbara Branden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1954, Nathaniel and Rand allegedly began a romantic affair, to the dismay of Barbara.
		According to Nathaniel and Barbara, Nathaniel expressed a desire in 1968 to end his relationship with Rand, prompting his expulsion from the Objectivist movement over what she termed, among other things, "intellectual dishonesty." Branden was briefly made Rand's heir (a status originally given to Nathaniel) but this was quickly revoked when Branden defended her ex-husband.
		Branden remained active in Objectivist circles and, in 1986, published her memoirs, 'The Passion of Ayn Rand', detailing her years with Rand and the Nathaniel Branden Institute.

	Barbara Branden
		Branden had no desire for a career as a playwright, that she intended to become a novelist (and already had a publisher interested in her as yet unwritten novel), and that although the Fountainhead project was attractive to her, it was far from crucially important to her long-range professional goals.
		Branden came to me in late August and told me she believed it was necessary to tell Miss Rand the full truth, I agreed with her.

		As I have said elsewhere, Nathaniel Branden is one of the authors I have learned the most from and have the most respect for.
		Branden says a teacher who can "project confidence in child's goodness and competence" and who "treats boys and girls with respect" can "offer a powerful antidote" to the many dysfunctional messages a child may receive in the home.
		Branden suggest that a teacher who "refuses to accept a child's negative self-concept and relentlessly holds to a better view of the child's potential" can be the turning point in a childs life.

	NoodleFood: Nathaniel Branden Versus Objectivism
		Branden's general theory of government action that neither violates nor protects rights is incoherent, as it ignores the basic nature of government as an agent of force.
		Branden's first particular disagreement is that governments ought to offer some services in natural disasters because they can respond more quickly than markets.
		Such is the clarity and depth of thought that Nathaniel Branden brings to his objections to the Objectivist politics.

	Review Essay on James Valliant's The Passion of Ayn Rand's Critics
		Branden, who “had written on the relationship between force and fraud as means of manipulation,” committed a moral crime against Rand, Valliant argues, and what “his crime lacked in violence, it made up for in prolonged psychological torment and deception” (383).
		Branden himself admits to feeding into this antigay attitude in the Objectivist subculture of the 1960s, and it was his 1983 lecture on "Love and Sex in the Philosophy of Ayn Rand," among other works, that began a much-needed post-Randian reassessment of that topic (see Sciabarra 1995, 200-1; 2003, 10-16).
		The Brandens, he argues, “are hardly in a position to demand that we rely only upon their credibility and judgment,” and yet this is “what they do demand, and precisely what many of Rand’s critics have done” as well (86).

	PRODOS.COM, James Valliant, The Passion of Ayn Rand's Critics, Nathaniel & Barbara Branden's (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Branden, in the twelve years of our marriage, was the extent to which I permitted our lives to be subordinated to Miss Rand's personal interests and needs.
		Branden was growing more and more intense; she was grossly exaggerating the nature and moral meaning of the mistake he had made; she began hurling accusations against him that had no factual foundation whatever.
		It seemed as though, from the time she had decided to break with him, she felt a growing need to persuade herself, and to communicate to others, that he was a monster.

		This new edition of the original text reveals how Nathaniel Branden's landmark book broke the rules of conventional behavioral theory and promulgated his revolutionary ideas on the critical role that self-esteem plays in living a healthy, fulfilling life.
		Branden also debunks the misguided notion that self-esteem is a "feel-good phenomenon" and shows instead how self-esteem, rationality, perseverance, self-responsibility, and personal integrity are all intimately related.
		His approach is reality oriented: Branden outlines the inescapable need for self-esteem, its source in reality and the consequence of the failure to live in accord with this need.

		Branden: True, she wasn't a scholar, and that made it harder for academics to grasp what she was up to.
		Branden: She was taking a relatively small quantity of a drug called Dexedrine which in those days doctors were prescribing very freely for people who wanted to control their appetite.
		Branden: If you mean caused by troubled self-esteem, and by that alone, no. If you mean, do we always find troubled self-esteem in the background, contributing to the problem in some way, often in a very basic way, the answer is yes, if not always, then a great deal of the time.
