Abstract

He is a psychologist and psychotherapist who has retired to devote his time to scholarship. There were 12 participants involved in the discussion of the materials, with communications on the subject from a variety of colleagues, including Sander Breiner (psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Wayne State University) and John Hartman (psychologist and psychoanalyst, University of Michigan). The meeting was held in Manhattan on the Upper East Side in the office/apartment of Mary Lambert who is a psychoanalyst.
