We have paired companion pieces, the first we run now and was published in 2001, written by an industrial engineer (retired). He documents the longer life span of (male) analysts. My guess, given the series out of London of elderly female analysts, we might find the same for women.
But, the follow-up piece we will run is on the nature of clinical practice as we age. This article by Eisenstein comes to us thanks to Jimmy Fisher in LA and his colleague Dr. Hoffs. Give us your thoughts.
