Historical Note

Judy L. Kantrowitz, PhD is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society & Institute (BPSI), and an Associate Clinical Professor at Harvard Medical School. She is on the Editorial Board of Psychoanalytic Quarterly, and the author of the following: “The Myths of Termination,” “Writing about Patients” and “The Patient’s Impact on the Analyst.”

Dr. Kantrowitz was born on June 7, 1938, and lived in Brooklyn until she went to college. She attended Pembroke College through her sophomore year, and then transferred to Sarah Lawrence College in New York to be with and marry her husband, Paul, who was then a medical intern at Mount Sinai Hospital. She went to the University of Maryland for her master’s degree and then worked for a year as a school psychologist in the Baltimore public school system. The following year, they moved to Boston where she completed her training getting a PhD in Clinical Psychology at Boston University in 1965.

Dr. Kantrowitz began her first job at the Beth Israel Hospital where many of the psychiatry staff were BPSI trained analysts. The work was very stimulating and her supervisors also encouraged to seek psychoanalytic training. She applied for certification as an analyst as soon as she graduated from clinical training BPSI in 1972, but she was told to wait until she had a patient terminate. Once this occurred in the mid-1980s, she completed the certification process. Shortly after this, she was invited to apply to become a training and supervising analyst, which she became in 1989.

Scope and Content Note

The Judy L. Kantrowitz (1938- ) Papers, 1973-2011, 4 manuscript boxes, document her unpublished works, research, lectures, and discussions through her professional life. The papers contain the various works, copies of the papers she gave at lectures, and the correspondence between the different organizations and herself regarding those lectures. The collection also contains unpublished correspondence about her published works and discusses published works she reviewed. Little personal correspondence is contained in the collection. Dr. Kantrowitz stated that the major focus of the collection can be traced to the patient-analyst match research, and the work that she has done through endings of cases and life in a psychoanalytic mindset.

Audio of a 2017 interview with Dr. Kantrowitz for the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and a copy of a full autobiographical note by Dr. Kantrowitz can be found in the first folder of Box I.
