"The second analyst should remember that if his reanalysis yields better results than the first, it is more likely because the patient is a more experienced and better patient than because the analyst is a better analyst."
-MILTON H. HOROWITZ, from the conclusion to his seminar on Reanalysis (01/30/2001), Quoted by Herbert Wyman in the Editor's Preface to this volume.
MILTON H. HOROWITZ, MD grew up on Pelham Parkway in the Bronx. He hunted rabbits there, back when it was still rural. Educated in the New York City public school system, he had a strong interest in literature, history, and the arts. He attended New York University from the age of 16, where he was manager of the baseball team. He also went to NYU Medical School, where he was the youngest member of this class, and did his residency at NYU.
During his long career at the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute he was the model of a Supervising and Training Analyst, teacher, mentor, and colleague for more than fifty years. He served as President of the New York Psychoanalytic Society from 1983 to 1985. His renowned therapeutic talent was built upon his brilliant intellect and his constant and sincere question, "How can I be of help?" He was a generous friend and had a funny and telling story for every occasion. The list of his grateful patients and students is long. He died in 2011.
