Biography
Robert S. Wallerstein
"There is no one better suited to chronicle the most significant change in American psychoanalysis than Robert Wallerstein. In this remarkable work of contemporary history he describes, practically blow by blow, the story of the struggle of lay psychoanalysts to gain recognition by the psychoanalytic establishment. Wallerstein had the special advantage of being President of the IPA during the crucial period that led to the recognition of fully trained nonmedical analysts. Objectively written, this work will take its place as one of the most important books on the history of psychoanalysis."
- Joseph Sandler, M.D., Ph.D., Past President, International Psychoanalytic Association
