Dr. Kaplan, who had a Ph.D. in psychology, taught in N.Y.U.'s postdoctoral program in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. He began teaching in that program in 1976, and he had been a clinical professor since 1983. He was a supervising analyst for candidates for the certificate in psychoanalysis awarded by the New York Freudian Society. The society and its Psychoanalytic Training Institute were founded in 1959 to provide training and a community for psychoanalysts. He was president of the society from 1974 to 1978. Dr. Kaplan was helped the society join the International Psychoanalytical Association. He was on the editorial board of American Imago, the journal of the Association for Applied Psychoanalysis. Armand Schwerner (1927 - February 4, 1999) was an avant-garde Jewish-American poet. He attended Columbia University (B.A. 1950, M.A. 1964) and taught at universities in the New York City area until his retirement in 1998. Louise Janet Kaplan, o.s. Miller, (18 November 1929, New York City - 9 January 2012, New York) was an American psychologist and psychoanalyst best known for her research into sexual perversion and fetishism. She was married to Donald M. Kaplan. She authored seven books including the 1991 book, Female Perversions: The Temptations of Emma Bovary which was made into the 1996 film Female Perversions starring Tilda Swinton. The purpose of The Domesday Dictionary was to catalogue the artifacts and conceits of our civilization. It attempts to show us our holdings and debits--both intellectual and moral. It reverberates with the antecedents and potentials of the human condition, as it inventories man's current resources for controlling his fate. The book is case in the form of a lexicon whose entries are words and names--scientific, political, psychoanalytic--with key meanings for today. Each of the definitions is a compression of fact, inference, and highly controlled moral energy--as if a Fowler collaborated with a modern Jeremiah. The manner in which the old and the new, the objective and the subjective, the real and the unreal, are juxtaposed, effects a continual shifting of perspectives. this is a mosaic portrait conceived with a classic oneness: science and literature are pub to the service of each other. The authors and editor, a poet, a psychoanalyst, and an educator, have strong backgrounds in the physical and social sciences; their writing combining meticulous research with poetic vision. The unusual importance of The Domesday Dictionary, and its power to move and inform the reader, have been recognized even before formal publication through review tributes recorded on the back of the dust jacket.
