From the Foreword by Daniel S. Benveniste, PhD:
Arnie doesn't promote the illusion of psychoanalysis progressing in some sort of rational and orderly development. No, for Arnie Richards, psychoanalysis is a human tradition. It's in the hands of a thought collective that pushes and shapes psychoanalysis as a function of history, institutional politics, personality cults, rivalries, schisms, innovations, animosities, collaborations, and group dynamics. His story is unique insofar as he is an insider who became a participant-observer and then an advocate for outsiders, whether they are analysts, psychologists, social workers, mental health counselors, or even representatives of excluded theoretical perspectives.
Beyond all this, Arnie has illuminated his memoir with photos, poems, and documents that amplify his story and bring it to life. One could easily critique his memoir as just being his perspective-and indeed it is. But, oh, what a vantage point he has for conveying his perspective. So, sit back and enjoy this trip into the life and work of a real troublemaker-a world-class psychoanalyst who has made a career out of making good trouble for psychoanalysis.
