The Rapaport–Holt Correspondence, Edited by Robert R. Holt
When Bob Holt told me that he had a trove of correspondence between himself and his mentor, David Rapaport, I was bowled over by this treasure. In these letters, dating from 1948 through 1960, the two colleagues both support and challenge one another during a period of remarkable intellectual activity for both of them.
I was a resident at the Menninger School of Psychiatry from 1960 to 1962, years after David had left to go to Austen Riggs, but much of the staff who were my mentors had trained with him, and all of the residents learned about his brilliance and contributions to the basic science of psychoanalysis. His Organization and Pathology of Thought was a foundational text for us, to be read and reread.
David and Bob shared an unusually close and candid rapport; this correspondence provides a window into the minds and ways of thinking of two important contributors to the history of psychoanalysis. I am honored to make this work available worldwide.
