FOR MAX DEUTSCHER [1916–1979], co-Founding Editor of Contemporary Psychoanalysis, each issue is a tribute. He shared in the vision of the William Alanson White Institute, the William Alanson White Society and the Board of Trustees, for a very special journal which would communicate with the professional community.
Between being mandated in 1962, and the Journal's launching as a joyous reality in the Fall of 1964, we were companions in a period of collaborative effort, of intensive and extensive exploration. Max was devoted to the large and to the small; to practicality and imaginativeness.
From the "Editorial Statement" of position in the first issue of the Journal, Fall 1964:
In this journal we shall express the thinking and experience of the professional community bearing on psychoanalytic issues.
Psychoanalysis is in the midst of challenge and growth which it shares with the other sciences and humanities, with present-day society itself.
… we hope that Contemporary Psychoanalysis will become a significant forum for the psychoanalytic community.
The authors who contributed to the opening issue were (in the order of their appearance): Rose Spiegel, Ralph M. Crowley, Rollo May, Alberta Szalita, Silvano Arieti, Erich Fromm, and Maurice R. Green.
After Max's seven years in service to the Journal, a transition was made, in 1969, to the aegis of Arthur Feiner, the Journal's current Editor.
