SPOTNITZ—Hyman, Dr., died of natural causes in Manhattan on Friday, April 18, 2008, at age 99. A research psychia¬trist, neurologist and the founder of Modern Psychoanalysis, he grew up in Boston. He received a B.A. from Har¬vard, an M.D. from Friedrich Wilhelms University (Berlin), and a D. Med. Sci. from Columbia P & S. He was certified in Psychiatry and Neurology in 1941. He was married to Miriam Berkman, his child¬hood sweetheart, until her death in 1977. They had three sons. Dr. Spotnitz believed that psychoanalysis could cure narcissistic disorders that Freud deemed untreatable. Dr. Spotnitz believed schizophrenia was reversible. He sought a cure in private practice and in collaborative research and supervision at the Jewish Board of Guardians. In Modern Psychoanalysis of the Schizophrenic Patient (1969), he described a theory and technique for treatment. His career included research at the N.Y. State Neurological Institute and the N.Y. State Psychiatric Institute. He was Adjunct Psychiatrist at Mount Sinai and the Hospital for Joint Diseases. He was honorary President of the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies, The Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and the Mid-Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis. His books include Psychotherapy of Preoedipal Conditions, and, with Phyllis Meadow, Ph.D, Treatment of the Narcissistic Neuroses, The Couch and the Circle (1961), and other books aimed at a general audience. He published over 100 articles and was a distinguished supervisor, training analyst, lecturer and group psychoanalyst. He re¬ceived the Sigmund Freud Award from the American Society of Psychoanalytic Physicians (1988) and was honored by the American Psy¬chiatric Association for 50 years of service (1991). His last videotaped interview was released in 1999. He lived with his wife, Dorothy Harten Spotnitz until her death in 2007. He is survived by his loving family, Drs. Henry, Alan, and William Spotnitz, Dr. Elizabeth Goldberg, Drs. Sharon Spotnitz, Arlene Bonapace, and Denise Schain, and Mr. Richard Goldberg. He is also survived by his lov¬ing grandchildren, Margo, Jennifer, Michelle, Matthew, Russell, Joanna and Alexander. A memorial service is being planned. Contributions may be made to the American Neurological Assoc, Columbia U. or Harvard U.
The staff and students of the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Dr. Hyman Spotnitz. He will be greatly missed.
