Our esteemed and loyal colleague, Dr. Bernard Shulman, passed away on November 11, 1975. Affectionately known as Bernie, he worked with us for almost three decades, having joined the American Institute for Psychoanalysis in 1949. From the start he was an enthusiastic champion for everything that was constructive and innovative in psychiatry and psychoanalysis. I recall with pleasure the rides home from class many years ago, when we would debate the various concepts offered to us in our analytic training. Bernie was always in there, unafraid to take issue with anything that smacked of dogma.
Besides his commitment to our group, he was also centrally involved in the affairs of the Brooklyn Psychiatric Society, and served as President of the Society in 1967.
At the Karen Horney Clinic, with which he was affiliated since its opening in 1955, he was engaged in a research project dealing with short-term therapies. He felt strongly that an analytic clinic had also to serve patients who could not work in long-term treatment.
Bernie Shulman was zealous in his concern for his patients. They were part of his life and he was always thinking about ways to improve the quality of care that he could bring to them.
In addition to a large circle of friends, Bernie was blessed with a closely knit family — his lovely and loyal wife, his two daughters, and three joy-producing grandchildren who were a source of unending happiness to him in the last few years of his life.
All of us at the Institute, the Clinic, and the Association miss him deeply and extend our condolences to his dear family.
