Dear colleagues,
 
With great sadness, we announce that Philip Bromberg passed away early this morning, May 18^th, 20220 of natural causes.  Philip was one of the founders of IARPP and the Stephen Mitchell Center for Relational Studies, a longtime, esteemed member of the faculties of the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis and William Alanson White, and a beloved teacher, supervisor, analyst, friend and mentor to many in our community.  His teaching and publications, especially on the topics of dissociation in normal and less adaptive mental functioning, multiplicity, enactment, trauma, and the process of healing and growth via human relatedness, have influenced generations of clinicians throughout the world.  His insights were extraordinary, his writing profound and often poetic.
 
We send our condolences to his wife Margo Bromberg, his family, and friends. All arrangements will be private, though a memorial honoring Philip will be planned in the future. It has been requested that in lieu of flowers, contributions honoring Philip should be sent to the psychoanalytic training program of one’s choice.
 
With sympathy and tremendous appreciation for all that Philip has so generously given to our relational community and beyond,
 
Steven Kuchuck and the IARPP Board of Directors

"The decision to enter psychoanalytic treatment and training was one of the best I ever made. Thirty years later, the multifaceted world of psychoanalysis remains exceptionally gratifying. I have received invaluable training in developing and maintaining a deepening therapeutic process with a diverse range of patients, enabling me to sustain an emotionally rewarding practice - even in the age of managed care." 

"In a larger and relational sense, the psychoanalytic community has been like an extended family for me. A bit like my own small town in which I have made lifelong friends." 

"I felt welcomed by each member I met both during classes and events organized by  SDPC. A few members worked with me to understand which program would fit me best."
