But as anyone who ever encountered him knows, the term editor barely begins to describe this insatiably curious, deeply generous, and ridiculously talented man, who launched the careers of so many of our field’s luminaries, and made every person he worked with feel like a luminary in their own right.įrom the very start, when he and a few like-minded souls gathered around his kitchen table to produce a newsletter called The Family Shtick, he devoted the publication to asking provocative questions about seemingly settled clinical issues, inspiring therapists to examine these realms with fresh eyes, and perhaps begin to work with clients in creative new ways. Our hearts go out to everyone who is facing the shock and sadness of losing him. Though Rich would never have described himself this way, he truly was a giant in our field. And it will be extremely painful to bear for his many friends and colleagues, for readers of the Networker, who communed with his voice and vision each time a new issue arrived in the mail, and for our entire psychotherapy community-which he not only reported on for more than 40 years, but helped to shape and stretch. This sudden, unexpected loss is devastating for his family. We are profoundly sorry to have to share with you the tragic news of the death of the longtime editor and very heart and soul of Psychotherapy Networker, Rich Simon.
