1/24/12. My friend, colleague, and mentor Dr. Joseph Fischhoff died today after suffering a stroke on January 16, 2012. He was 87 years old. The I.Q. of the world has declined.
I had the privilege of meeting with Joe, a child psychiatrist, for more than 35 years. He was a remarkable man. Although trained as a psychoanalyst, he was never seduced by the religions of psychiatric theories. He went where his experience and the data took him. He was steeped in pharmacology as deeply as he understood the unconscious mind. He loved a good joke.
Joe played the trumpet like he approached life --- he knew the scales, when to improvise, and cherished effective surprises.
From his years of sailing, he always knew which way the wind was blowing.
He touched the lives of all who knew him.
To life!
