Jeffrey Berman, distinguished teaching professor at the State University of New York at Albany, has authored more than 20 books and myriad reviews, many of them chronicling the lives and works of psychoanalysts whose careers exemplify interdisciplinary achievements. Berman's (2021) recent book, Norman N. Holland: The Dean of American Psychoanalytic Critics, for example, expertly surveys Holland's prolific and wide-ranging contributions to the study of and institutional support for teaching literature and psychoanalysis. Characteristically, Berman does not hesitate to discuss his personal relation to his subject—in this case, an ambivalent one—and he intersperses his chronological account of Holland's many books with comments, speculations, and associations of his own. “I am a highly self-disclosing teacher and writer” (p. 118), Berman tells us. Berman's research is meticulous, yet his style, laced with erudite references to literary and psychoanalytic writings, remains collegial and conversational, making his books accessible teaching resources both within and beyond the academy. He has a gift for locating the central features of literary, social, and psychoanalytic works and making them easily available to a curious reader. Having chosen the life of a teacher and literary professor over psychoanalytic training and clinical practice, Berman presents himself as an admiring, sometimes critical outsider standing at the borders of interdisciplinary studies, looking both ways and advocating intellectual dialogues. In this position, he has been uniquely successful.
