NOTE: We apologize for the missing words in the middle of part 2 but that is where the original cassette recording ran out and the tape was turned over. Several seconds of speech were apparently lost. All of the original recording appears here.

On Psychoanalysis and Freedom: by Leo Rangell (April 30, 1976)
By Categories: Audio/Video, NYPSI Centenary 1911-2011

Leo Rangell ‘s presentation “On Psychoanalysis and Freedom” Washington, DC, April 30, 1976.

This Address was delivered to the Washington Psychoanalytic Society in honor of the 200th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the symbol of American freedom and autonomy.

Due to the exigencies of time, and the way the recordings were made, the Introduction to Dr. Rangell by Dr. Milton Meltzer—-as well as several brief portions of the talks—-have been lost. Please bear with a few brief gaps or lapses where bits of the recordings provided were missing. Those wishing to hear an introduction to Leo Rangell may listen to the one given him by Dr. Henry Kleiner at the Waelder Lecture in 1975 at the Philadelphia Psychoanalytic Society (just search for “Waelder” on this website).

An interesting historical note: As this lecture was being delivered, Dr. Rangell, who was at that time writing “The Mind of Watergate”, could see from the podium the windows of the Howard Johnson Motel across the street from which Nixon’s “plumbers” had been launched for their break-in into the oMcGovern Headquarters on another floor that exploded around the world as “The Watergate”. This lecture was being held in a meeting room in that same hotel-apartment complex.
