On October 27, 1973 the Seattle Psychoanalytic Institute sponsored a day long symposium on aggression in childhood, entitled “Troubled Children in a Troubled World.”

The symposium was held to honor Dr. Edith Buxbaum, one of the founders of the Seattle Psychoanalytic Institute, for her numerous contributions to child analysis and psychoanalytic education during a long and productive professional career.

Dr. Buxbaum, who continues to teach and to carry on an active practice, was also the guest of honor at a dinner meeting on October 26th sponsored by the Seattle Psychoanalytic Society at which Dr. Rudolf Ekstein presented a paper entitled “From the Language of Play to Play with Language.”
