Dorothy Burlingham's interest and influence were an abiding intellectual and personal presence in the history of The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child. Though she was never a formal member of the Editorial Board, her pioneering contributions and her imagination, curiosity, concern for children's well-being, and scientific standards in child psychoanalysis provided a generous, responsive resource for the Editors, which we now formally acknowledge. Our loss, personally and scientifically, is great. We shall miss her quiet steadfastness and her patient considerateness.
In more formally acknowledging her scientific contributions, we shall dedicate Volume 36 of The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child to her continuing influence and legacy.
In the present volume, with the collaboration of some of her closest friends and colleagues, we indicate our mourning in a more personal sense.
Quietly, always with modesty and grace, Dorothy Burlingham used psychoanalysis as a method and theory to make the world a better place for children, at the same time as she helped to build the theory and to advance the practice of child and adult psychoanalysis.
