Isidoro Berenstein was part of a group of scientists who, having a solid psychoanalytic training, dared to engage in a mode of clinical practice that encompassed differing ways of understanding analysts' work. He erased boundaries and thus enhanced the discipline's theoretical-clinical potential. He participated in the current debate in which complexity, chance, the event, and the current have their own place and coexist more or less easily with deterministic, essentialist positions. He strived to avoid solipsistic formulations.
Berenstein was a passionate thinker, on his own and with others. This quality has led me to define him as a thought-maker. He cultivated the art of dialogue in every context of his life - scientific, social, or domestic. He stimulated his colleagues, friends and family to write, to become familiar with written expression. Faithful to his life ethics, he espoused values such as kindness, scientific honesty, generosity toward those who approached him and respect for others and for the content of his exchanges with them. He had manifold interests, including a special ability to enjoy artistic expressions like theater, film and, certainly, literature. Another permanent source
