It’s nice to celebrate a life’s work, particularly someone who has helped build a substantive part of our discipline. This article by Jimmy Fisher on his collegial and professional relationship with Dr. Loewenberg, which will appear in the upcoming issue of Clio’s Psyche (June 2012). Dr. Fisher’s piece appears as “Clio’s Psyche,” Volume 19, No. 1, June, 2012, pp. 90-95. Fisher wrote the popular review of “A Dangerous Method,” as well as other postings on IP.net.

Dr. Loewenberg is an Emeritus Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. He was Dean and Chairman of the Education Committee and Director of the Training School of the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute and the New Center for Psychoanalysis, Los Angeles, 2001-2006. While born in Berlin in 1933,  He spent several childhood years in Shanghai until moving to
California, where his father was a physician and scholar, his mother a public health nurse and social activist.

He has accomplished much and we are pleased to publish Dr. Fisher’s account and encourage readers to see this issue of Clio’s Psyche edited by Paul Elovitz
