Obituary for Raymond D. Fogelson

Ray Fogelson passed away peacefully on January 20, 2020, near his Southern home in Blairsville, Georgia. A lifetime member of the American Society for Ethnohistory (ASE), he served as its president in 1987–88. He also served as president of the Central States Anthropological Association in 1982–83 and was the longtime book review editor for American Anthropologist. He was one of the foremost ethnohistorians of his time, and a leading expert in Southeast ethnology. He mentored several generations of graduate students, including many who have been active in the ASE.Ray received a PhD in anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1962. While at Penn he held a fellowship at the Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute, reflecting his own lifelong interest in psychoanalysis, and that of his mentors, A. Irving Hallowell and Anthony F. C. Wallace. He went on to teach at the University of Washington and University of California, San Diego, before moving to the University of Chicago, where he spent the bulk of his career. He held visiting positions at Princeton and the University of Texas.He conducted fieldwork initially with the Eastern Band of Cherokee under the tutelage of John Gulick at the University of North Carolina. He would later conduct research with the Shushwap, the Western Cherokee, and the Muskogee, where he was an adopted member. In addition to conducting research among these tribes, he practiced “action anthropology,” as an advocate. One example is his congressional testimony in favor of federal recognition of the Lumbee.Ray was dedicated to his students at all levels, including those who would not go on in anthropology. He was a raconteur, a bon vivant, someone possessed of a “wild sense of humor,” to quote his dean. He loved the city of Chicago and was a devoted fan of the Bears. He will be missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife, Karen Luckritz.

When Life Calls Out to Us: The Love and Lifework of Viktor and Elly Frankl

HADDON KLINGBERG: When Life Calls Out to Us: The Love and Lifework of Viktor and Elly Frankl New York: Doubleday, 2001, $23.95, ISBN No.: 0-- 385-50036-X. During the late 1970s, while I was a student of Joseph Wolpe at Temple University, I had the great fortune to be introduced to a number of icons in the field of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. Among their ranks were Anna Freud, Albert Ellis, Peter Sifneos, and Viktor Frankl. Frankl was a frequent guest of Wolpe's during the grand seminars that were held at the now-defunct Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute in Philadelphia. I was first introduced to paradoxical intention by Frankl, a technique that I still use and write about to this day. I have very fond memories of him that will stay with me forever, and yet I realize now that I only came to know a small part of what made him great. Haddon Klingberg, a clinical psychologist in Chicago and an admirer of Frankl, hosted him for a lecture at North Park University in the early 1990s. Klingberg, Viktor Frankl, and his wife, Elly Frankl, had the opportunity to tour Chicago and to swap stories about their lives along the way. Klingberg did most of the listening, which was a good thing, because out of this informal chat came the idea to put together a book that would capture the encounters and events that had occurred over the course of eight decades of Frankl's extraordinary life. When Life Calls Out to Us, which was recently released by Doubleday, is the result. Klingberg went into overtime in his research into Frankl's early years, making countless visits to Frankl's hometown Vienna and documenting with splendid detail Frankl's professional and personal life. Klingberg's book includes interviews, photographs, and maps of Frankl's travels. First, the reader is treated to a description of the early 20th century in Vienna, which sets the stage for Frankl's upbringing. The next eight chapters take us from Frankl's high-school and medical-school years to the time he spent in World War 11 concentration camps and then home again. Much of this experience shaped Frankl's later thinking as a psychiatrist. Klingberg dedicates the second part of the book to Frankl's second wife, Elly Schwindt, describing her background and how they met. Frankl had lost his first wife, along with his parents, in the Auschwitz death camp. Elly's dedication to her husband and his work shine through. Part three, which comprises six chapters, discusses Frankl's personal and professional life, showing how they were intermingled and contributed to the growth of logotherapy. …

His experience illustrates the benefit of dual-action antidepressants, the critical utility of peak venlafaxine serum levels in selected patients, and the utility of knowing familial metabolic rates.Case ReportAn adolescent failed to improve from consecutive trials of 50 mg per day of fluoxetine and 200 mg of sertraline, each for months. Venlafaxine was started for its dual neurotransmitter action, possibly resulting in faster and fuller remission.1,2The youth's baseline Inventory to Diagnose Depression3 score (IDD) was 51 (0–10 is normal). He suffered daily suicidal ideation and profound anhedonia. He was titrated to 375 mg per day of venlafaxine over 2 weeks with only transient anorexia. He improved in 2 weeks, with a peak venlafaxine level of 310 ng/ml and an O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV) level of 210 ng/ml. In 3 weeks, he had an IDD of 24.After 5 weeks he worsened, in the absence of stressors. A prompt follow-up plasma venlafaxine level was only 79 ng/ml, with an ODV of only 170 ng/mg. The dose was increased to 425 mg/day in divided doses, with moderate improvement in his MD over 10 weeks. Plasma venlafaxine was 450 ng/mg, with ODV 480 ng/mg. Eventually the dosage was increased to 500 mg (slow-release form) in two doses, at which level the patient had only transient vivid dreams. After 2 months, his IDD scores were normal. Serum levels after 1 year were venlafaxine 650 ng/ml and ODV 590 ng/ml, approximately within the expected peak ranges.Eventually, his father began treatment and was also started on venlafaxine. He also initially had a therapeutic benefit on 200 mg per day, followed by a marked loss of benefit and a significant drop in baseline serum levels. Increasing his dose to 375 mg per day almost put him in full MD remission, with serum levels in the therapeutic range. Both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic response may run in families. CommentReasonable laboratory standards for venlafaxine and ODV4,5 blood levels exist. It seems useful to use blood levels to confirm compliance, to monitor polypharmacy in treatment-resistant patients, and to assess patients with initial clear benefits that are suddenly lost, perhaps because of marked metabolism. Understanding this patient's rapid metabolism kept us from aborting a therapeutic medication and yielded meaningful remission in an otherwise treatment-resistant patient with a history of suicide attempts and severe MD.References1 Nelson JC, Mazure CM, Bowers MB, et al: A preliminary, open study of the combination of fluoxetine and desipramine for rapid treatment of major depression.

Platelet monoamine oxidase inhibition by deprenyl and tranylcypromine: Implications for clinical use

(1983) with phenelzine has suggested that antidepressant effects occur with dosages of about 1 mg/kg/day, or platelet MAO inhibition of >80%, and that the time course of enzyme inhibition parallels that of clinical improvement. However, MAOIs have other effects besides enzyme inhibition, and it is far from clear that this is the mechanism of overriding therapeutic importance (Hendley and Snyder 1968; Karoum et al. 1982). Even if it were, the key variable would presumably be brain MAO activity, and the use of platelet MAO as a model would still pose problems, For example, platelet MAO is almost exclusively of the B type, which is pref-

The EPPI family therapy outcome study

Information was evaluated from 1014 families seen in an eight-year period by therapists connected with the Department of Family Psychiatry at Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute in Philadelphia. Statistical analysis revealed several factors that had some predictive value in relation to outcome of therapy; these were race, past psychiatric hospitalization, type of presenting family problem, and number of sessions held. There was a rather good chance of improvement being noted by the therapist if the family stayed in treatment for eight or more sessions. About 90% of the cases were seen for less than 20 interviews. Only about 3% were seen for longer than 35 interviews. The vast majority of EPPI cases were short-term. Black families tended to present different problems from white, and therapy was terminated with blacks sooner than for whites. About 35% of families terminated after one to two interviews, and another 30% after three to seven sessions. Since families tended to benefit most after eight or more sessions, the need for better methods or techniques to engage families is highlighted.

Family therapy for continuing professional education

This is a report on a program of family therapy instruction intended as a continuing professional education service to mental health personnel. The rapid expansion of the program since its inception in late 1971 is due to increasing demand from human service agencies in and around the Greater Philadelphia area. By the end of 1978 more than 550 had participated. Approximately 15% went on to higher levels of family therapy training available at the Department of Family Psychiatry of Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute. Some characteristics of participants are described: most are master's level personnel representing a wide variety of human service agencies within a 100-mile radius of Philadelphia; most had a positive response to the training; most did not intend to become family therapists but wanted an exposure to theory and methods. Comments are included by selected category of how participants use what they learn.
