Looking Back is the unusual memoir of a Holocaust survivor and physician who became prominent in American psychoanalysis and a leader of the psychoanalytic Self Psychology movement. Paul Ornstein's remarkable life has taken him from a cheder in a Hungarian town, to the Budapest Rabbinical Seminary through the Holocaust, to the summit of his psychoanalytic profession. This memoir tells this story in vivid and often moving fashion, including his dazed, postwar search for surviving family members, the tenderness of his romance and reunion with his beloved wife and collaborator Anna, their improbable postwar study of medicine among former Nazis at Heidelberg, his use of hypnosis to cure a paralyzed aide to a legendary congressman, to his development, along with Anna, into a towering figure in self-psychology. Paul, who has been fortunate to have Helen Epstein as his co-author, enriches the book by using his penetrating insight to analyze his own motivations and foibles, and those of colleagues and teachers. The reader comes away astonished by how Paul was able to transcend trauma and retain a spirited delight in living and a lifelong sense of optimism. Joseph Berger, veteran reporter, The New York Times Paul Ornstein describes his remarkable and moving personal, historical and professional life journey, losing many family members, his community, and his country in the Shoah, yet being blessed from the beginning with a resilient optimism and clear-eyed certainty about what he can accomplish and who and what matters to him Looking Back could be called My Fathers Culture. It serves as companion volume to his beloved Annas My Mothers Eyes.  Dr. Nancy J. Chodorow, Author, The Power of Feelings, Individualizing Gender and Sexuality Paul Ornstein was one of the psychoanalysts who came to the U.S. from Europe after the second world war and became a central figure in American psychoanalysis. He and his wife Anna have made an essential contribution to establishing Heinz Kohuts self psychology as an important part of our pluralistic psychoanalytic world. The book is a portrait of a fine psychoanalyst and a fine human being.  Dr. Arnold Richards, Editor InternationalPsychoanalysis.net Dr. Ornsteins story is unique and, fluently written with journalist Helen Epstein, provides a way for mental health professionals and lay people alike to learn how one can overcome apocalyptic trauma Dr. Ornsteins story demonstrates how determination, perseverance and love can conquer all.  Dr. Eva Fogelman, author of Conscience and Courage: Rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust Looking Back is, like its author, direct, without frills, but leaves the reader thinking about some of the Big Questions. And like the story of Passover, Paul Ornstein's story is one that demands telling and retelling.  Lester Lenoff, MSW, LCSW, Consulting Editor, Psychoanalytic Inquiry As a survivor, Paul Ornstein is a model of resilience, turning his Shoah experience into a lesson in living. As a psychoanalyst, he was able to distance himself from ego psychology and to acknowledge, under the influence of Kohut, the clinical importance of empathy an important book, both moving and intellectually challenging.  Dr. Rachel Rosenblum, Paris Psychoanalytic Society This memoir conveys one man's experience of the Holocaust and how he was able to reconstruct a life after the war. Uniquely, it also gives us a feel for what was a seismic event in analytic circles in the 20th century, the birth and growth of Self Psychology. Dr. Michael Rosenbluth, FRCPC Chief, Department of Psychiatry, Toronto East General Hospital This memoir is a gem, rich and deeply personal as well as a chronicle of a remarkable life lived during a remarkable time. And those photos! They are stunning.  Dr. James Fisch, Editorial Board, International Journal of Psychoanalytic Self Psychology
