PSYCHOANALYSIS, MAN, AND SOCIETY. Paul Schilder, M.D. (arranged by Lauretta Bender.) New York: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1951. 382 pp.
Paul Schilder died in 1940 at the age of fifty-four, the victim of a traffic accident. Without knowing him or without being familiar with his publications, one is not apt to appreciate the importance of his loss to the science and teaching of psychoanalysis. As one of the younger generation of psychoanalysts, I had learned of him only through passing reference. These books, then, constituted my introduction to Schilder. In reading them, I quickly came to know Schilder, the man—kind, humble, thoughtful, of searching mind, an excellent teacher, unbiased, unafraid of nonconformity—a man genuinely devoted to understanding his fellow creature. I regret not having had the chance to know him personally.
