The Board of Trustees of the American Institute for Psychanalysis regretfully announces the resignation of Dr. Elizabeth Kilpatrick as Dean of the Institute. We wish to express to Dr. Kilpatrick our deepest appreciation for a difficult task well done.
Dr. Kilpatrick was elected Acting Dean in December, 1952, and Dean in March, 1953. A member of the Institute from its founding, Dr. Kilpatrick was able to provide the quality of leadership which was required following the grievous loss of Karen Horney. Those who worked with her during this healing period can attest to the devotion, the kindness, and the grace which Dr. Kilpatrick brought to the difficulties which confronted her. She resigns as Dean for personal reasons. Her deep interest in the principles and growth of the Institute remains undiminished. As Associate Dean to the newly elected Dean, Dr. Harold Kelman, she will continue to contribute richly to the further fulfillment of our mutual goals.
Board of Trustees
