“Geoff Heron…he was a
man…but is no more.” So
intoned Art Garfein, with all
the gravitas of a revered
rabbi. Repeatedly, a refrain,
with solemnity and
resonance. Ask not for
whom the bell tolls. There
were heavy hearts all
around. Joan had lost her
husband; her kids their
father; the rest of us a dear
friend, and colleague, and
our Society’s leader. He was
a man who exuded a quiet
benevolence; there was
about him an aura of
welcome and calm. The
memorial service, positioned
by a stream, nested within
sheltering aspens and pines,
was a moving remembrance
of Geoff’s life. In the best
traditions of eulogy and
hermeneutics, we heard
from a sister, a med school
classmate, from our own
Margy Stewart and Paula
Bernstein, and, of course,
from Joan, and from their
sons. Geoff’s life-story
unfolded before us, a life of
purpose and achievement,
but especially, a life of
affectionate companionship
and steady thoughtfulness.
Also, we were told, a fierce
competitiveness on the
basketball court. A couple
months ago, in a
spontaneous utterance,
Margy exclaimed to Geoff
that he was so “straight and
tall.” In more ways than
one, no doubt. I imagined
Geoff chuckling quietly in
response.
“Geoff Heron…he was a
man…but is no more.”
Sadly, Geoff’s abrupt demise
left much unfinished
business, many loose ends.
Primarily, of course, with
regard to his personal
relationships, and his work
with his many now abruptly
terminated patients. But
also with regard to his work
as Society President. It was
one of Geoff’s fervent wishes
to help heal some of the rifts
within our community, and
between ourselves and our
national organization. This is
now in our hands.
He was also excited about
starting a Diversity
Committee in the Society.
For someone who carried
himself with such grace and
comfort, Geoff, as we
learned later, had suffered
the cruelty of anti-Semitism
when growing up outside of
Pittsburgh. Maybe those
experiences deepened his
compassion for those
suffering from racial or
LGBT discrimination. He was
thrilled when Todd Kline
agreed to chair the Diversity
Committee -- and has done
so with great gusto and
resourcefulness -- and that
so many others have rushed
to join this committee.
Geoff and I had lunched with
Anton Hart during the
meeting in Chicago last
summer; we were both
enthused that Anton was
already scheduled to come
to Denver this fall to deliver
Ben Green. M.D.
Society President
2016—2019
a lecture, and to lead a
workshop, on psychoanalysis
and diversity. I think Geoff
would have been immensely
pleased with how well this
workshop indeed came off.
“Geoff Heron…he was a
man…but is no more.” And
so it is; life goes on. And go
on we have, with many
events taking place, or
planned for the near-future.
In addition to Anton’s
lecture, we also have
featured Bob Emde, recently
returned from speaking
engagements in several
European cities, who gave a
powerful presentation about
psychoanalysis, historically
and projected into the
future, in Denver and
beyond. This evening was
dedicated to our long-time
collaborator, Mark Groth.
Future scientific
presentations will include
Brian Smith on homelessness
and psychoanalysis (Feb. 3),
Gary Grossman discussing
risky gay sex (March 3), Lupe

The Denver Psychoanalytic Society Newsletter
Institute Director’s Message
I am pleased and honored to be
addressing you in this newsletter as your new Director of
the Institute. Great thanks to
my predecessors, executive
committees, hard working
faculty, and Denise Wagner,
Executive Administrative Director, our Institute is robust
academically, financially, and
interpersonally. I want to also
express my appreciation for
the new executive working
with me—Leslie Jordan, Ph.D.;
Mark Wolny, L.C.S.W.; and
Stacey Fry, Psy.D. We are
working together with plans to
continue our Institute’s academic excellence, increasing
diversity, community connections, and leadership with other
American psychoanalytic
schools/institutes.
tute and Society. Dr. Geoff
Heron passed away this summer, and we mourn this loss.
Geoff was the President of the
Psychoanalytic Society, and he
was a person who supported
peace, unity, and working together both in our community
and on the national level to
promote psychoanalytic thinking and a philosophy of compassion and acceptance. We
will certainly miss him.
In September we began a new
analytic class with six candidates and two pre-matriculated
candidates. The prematriculated candidates will
attend a pre-matriculation program led by Rachel Norwood,
M.D. and Peter Silvestri, M.D.
We also have six advanced
candidates, who are attending
an Advanced Candidate Case
Conference twice a month.
Our PTP began their classes
with eleven students. All classes are going well. Faculty,
students, and candidates are
excited about the upcoming
academic year’s course of study
and educational activities. We
are very fortunate to have such
a wonderful group of enthusiastic and dedicated faculty and
eager students of psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Denver is a lively
Institute.
We, as an Institute, survived a
difficult political, monumental
change in our national organization, The American Association
of Psychoanalysis or APsaA. In
spite differing views with strong
feelings among our faculty on
some of the issues that brought
APsaA to alter its governance,
we in Denver remain together
(sometimes noisily and grumpily), in our commitment to
maintaining our excellent
school for psychoanalysis and
psychotherapy and our interest
in sharing psychoanalytic ideas
with the larger community.
The Board of Professional
Standards (BOPS) of the American Association of Psychoanalysis will sunset in June of 2017,
due to the decisions made by
the national organization to
externalize both candidate
certification and accreditation
of Institutes in order to bring
that organization into alignment
with other contemporary professional organizations.
We are, however, missing an
important person in our Insti-
The person assuming Dr.
Heron’s position as Society
President is Dr. Ben Green,
who was the President elect.
He has stepped in to fill this
office a year before the plan to
do so. I know we will all support and appreciate Dr. Green
in his new endeavor.
The Board of Directors for
APsaA is comprised of presidents of the psychoanalytic
societies approved by the
American. This Board will be
deciding upon new governance
for that organization. After
debate and discussion, Denver’s faculty voted in February
at our annual retreat, to join
the newly formed organization,
AAPE (American Association
for Psychoanalytic Education)
for credentialing, accrediting,
and oversight functions of our
Institute, since APsaA will no
long perform those functions.
We believe this decision will
insure the stability of our academic standards and provide
ongoing assistance and consultation required for an educational institution to maintain its
future viability.
Rachel Norwood, M.D. and
David Stevens, Ph.D., along
with other members of our
faculty who teach and supervise
psychiatric residents, have laid
a foundation for a closer working relationship with the Department of Psychiatry at the
University of Denver. We will
have our second meeting with
Drs. Feinstein, Heiman, Fenton,
and Davies in November. The
DIP faculty members who are
currently supervising residents
are invited to attend. The
purpose of the meeting is to
become bettered acquainted
on a personal level and to coordinate our supervisory intentions and functions for residents. Our plan is for the Department and the Institute to
get together regularly to provide the best educational experience for psychiatry residents
in their pursuit of knowledge of
psychoanalytic ideas and clinical
technique.
Barbara Redinger,
Ph.D.
Institute Director
2016-2019
In process is a grant request
from the Anschutz Family
Foundation to fund some
hoped for educational activities.
Our proposal would include
money for a visiting professor.
We are excited about this possibility and appreciate the faculty and Denise Wagner who are
working on this.
Plans for our annual Retreat in
February are progressing nicely,
thanks to Paula Bernstein, Pam
Haglund, and others. We will
hold the meeting in Denver on
the Medical School Campus,
and will have a dinner on Saturday evening at a Denver area
restaurant. Please look at the
DIP website for more details as
February approaches.
I want to thank all the committee chairs and faculty for their
interest and hard work in keeping our Institute running
smoothly. As I am learning my
job as Director, I count on you
to inform and teach me about
the ways you have been conducting your business. I am
grateful for this opportunity to
work with all of you in our
common interest of the ongoing excellence of our Institute.

Remembering Geoff Heron, MD
Dr. Geoffrey Heron died on Saturday,
August 20th, following a brief battle
with an aggressive form of lymphoma.
Geoff was born in Pittsburgh, PA, on
June 3, 1944. He attended the
University of Chicago, where he
received his BA in 1966. He went on to
graduate from the University Of
Chicago School Of Medicine in 1971.
Geoff completed his psychiatric
residency at the University Of
Colorado Health Sciences Center in
Denver in 1976. He graduated as a
psychoanalyst from the Denver
Institute of Psychoanalysis in 1987.
Geoff practiced psychiatry and
psychoanalysis for many years in
Denver and Boulder. Dr Heron was
committed to inpatient and outpatient
psychiatry. He served as President of
the medical staff of Mount Airy
Psychiatric Center in 1982, and the
Medical Director of the North Valley
Hospital Medical Staff from 2005-2006.
He went on to become a Distinguished
Fellow of the American Psychiatric
Association in 2003. At the time of his
death, he was the President of the
Den ver P sych o an aly ti c S oc iety
beginning in 2015. Geoff taught at
both the University of Colorado
Health Sciences Center and the
Denver Institute for Psychoanalysis.
He was the Assistant Medical
Director for Medical Education at
Centennial Peaks Hospital, 20072013. Geoff had a lifelong passion
for his family, sports and the
outdoors. He was an accomplished
skier and avid basketball player. He
enjoyed biking, fishing, and hiking.
He reached the summit of many of
the 14,000-foot peaks of Colorado.
In his 50's, he also became an
excellent snowboarder and tennis
player. He remained active in many
of these sports until his death. Geoff
is survived by his wife Joan, his son
Ted, his step-sons Sam and
Harrison, and his sister Cathy. Geoff
was a cherished source of
inspiration as a devoted father and
step-father. He supported the wide
array of interests and strengths of
his sons. A memorial service will be
held for Geoff on Sunday August
28th at 10:30 AM at The
Wedgewood Inn (formerly The Red Lion
Inn) in Boulder Canyon. To send
condolences

Making Referrals and Seeking Clinicians
The following are suggested guidelines for posting referrals and seeking clinicians to take referrals. These suggestions were shared
with us by the Committee on Confidentiality of The American Psychoanalytic Association. The main point to remember is that
you are seeking a clinician in a certain city and area of practice. The referrals should describe characteristics of the clinician
desired and not the patient.
REGARDING INFORMATION GIVEN IN THE INITIAL REQUEST; FURTHER DETAILS, IF NEEDED, CAN BE SHARED
PRIVATELY ONCE CONTACT IS MADE.
-The request for a therapist should be made in terms of the practitioner being sought rather than the person for whom the referral is
needed.
-Information about the patient should be kept to a minimum.
-Before posting something that mentions a patient's description, consider the unlikely but possible circumstance in which the posting
finds its way to someone who knows that person in question socially. Ask whether that reader could identify the person being discussed; if so, the posting should be revised or the communication should take place in another medium.
Err on the side of discretion. If you have further questions, please call our office at 303-724-2666

The Denver Psychoanalytic Society Newsletter
Interview with DPS Newcomer, Balin Anderson
Tell us a bit about your background and training?
I grew up in Crested Butte, Colorado, and attended Colorado
College on a Boettcher Scholarship. After completing the Coro
Fellowship in Public Affairs in St. Louis, I earned my MSW from
the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at
Washington University in St. Louis. It was during my internship at
their campus counseling center that I discovered my passion for
clinical work. Growing up in a small, isolated mountain town
made me eager to experience the opposite, so following
graduation I moved to New York City. I began working for
Planned Parenthood in their South Bronx Health Center, where
we served a primarily low-income, linguistically, ethnically and
racially diverse population. As a “safety-net” provider, our
patients often had limited access to health care. While I was
regularly confronted with patients’ perceptions of my otherness,
my experiences convinced me that Harry Stack Sullivan was spoton: “We are all much more simply human than otherwise.”
In addition to working at PPNYC, I volunteered in the Beth Israel
Emergency Department as an advocate for victims of domestic
violence and sexual assault. I also worked part-time supervising
court-ordered visits between non-custodial parents and their
children. Although each of these roles helped develop my clinical
assessment, interviewing, and intervention skills, I rarely had the
opportunity to work with patients or clients in an ongoing way.
To continue my own growth anad development, I began a twoyear psychodynamic training program (similar to the PTP
program) at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in
New York City. When I completed that program, I found myself
wanting even more – more experience, more theoretical and
clinical coursework, and more discussion with peers and
instructors. So, I “bridged” into the second year of the Analytic
training program offered by ICP. I graduated from training in
November of 2015, and my husband Nilesh and I moved to
Denver.
What attracted you to psychoanalytic theory and/
or therapy?
As a feminist, my early encounters with Freud left me less than
impressed. Initially, it was impossible for me to see past the
misogyny and gender inequality; later, I able to take in and
appreciate Freud’s groundbreaking insights (into the dynamic role
of the unconscious, the power of transference, dreams having
overdetermined meanings, etc.). In graduate school, I became
intrigued by contemporary relational theories of therapeutic
action. I was really interested in how I could develop and use
myself to help others heal and grow. The object relations
theories introduced and developed by Ferenczi, Fairbarin, and
Winnicott – among many others – resonate with me, and have
strongly influenced my approach to my work. This June, I
attended the annual International Association for Relational
Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy Conference in Rome, where I
enjoyed hearing papers and talks by (to name just a few) Jessica
Benjamin, Joyce Slochower, Donnel Stern, Donna Orange,
Spyros Orfanos, Tony Bass – and our Society’s own Karen
Rosica.
What kinds of therapy do you most like to do
and with whom?
I’ve always enjoyed working with young adults. It’s both an
exciting and daunting developmental period, marked by
increased autonomy and responsibility as well as enhanced
capacity for self-reflection, self-direction, and selfunderstanding. Given my background in reproductive health
and intimate partner violence, I have a special interest in
working with women dealing with relational and
reproductive concerns. Recently, I’ve been seeing more
couples and older individuals facing major life transitions
(e.g., separation and divorce, job changes, aging, parenting
challenges).
What brought you to Denver?
After many years in NYC, my husband and I were eager to
enjoy a more balanced and active life together. I have family
in Colorado, and we appreciated Denver’s development
into an increasingly vibrant and diverse city. We also wanted
to adopt a dog! I just completed my first quarter as an
adjunct instructor at the Graduate School of Social Work at
University of Denver, and settled into a new office suite in
LoHi. I’ve also enjoyed meeting colleagues and peers and
developing a professional community here in Denver.
What do you like to do for fun and relaxation?
I love reading; my go-to is contemporary fiction, but I enjoy
non-fiction now and again. I just finished Daniel Gilbert’s
Stumbling on Happiness, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara,
and The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin (I
highly recommend all three!). I also love to cook. My
husband is vegetarian, so admittedly my meat-cooking skills
have atrophied in recent years! I really enjoy being active –
whether running, hiking, biking, or practicing yoga.

Remembering Sam Wagonfeld, MD
Samuel Wagonfeld, MD, highly regarded Denver psychiatrist and analyst, died
on January 24, 2017 as a result of cardiac arrest. Born in 1931, Dr. Wagonfeld
graduated from the Bronx High School
of Science, Cornell University (MA),
the University of Chicago Medical
School (MD) and the University of
Michigan (MS). He completed his internship at the University of Colorado
Medical Center and was a psychiatric
resident and Child Fellow at the University of Michigan. In 1967 he returned
to the University of Colorado and began his long association with the Denver Psychoanalytic Institute where he
continued as a training and supervising
analyst. He left the University faculty to
develop a successful private practice in
1975 but continued at different times
to consult and volunteer for the University of Colorado Medical Center
(including membership on the UCMC
admissions committee). He was a member of several professional societies and
taught many courses at the University
of Colorado Medical School, Denver
Psychoanalytic Institute and the Denver
Psychoanalytic
Society. His special commitment and
primary interests were to child and
adolescent psychiatry and psychoanaly-
sis where he was considered a wise
and insightful pioneer. Later in his
career he also developed a forensic
psychiatry practice, primarily representing the interests of young people
and their families. Fiercely proud of his
heritage, Sam considered himself a
cultural rather than a religious Jew.
His parents both immigrated to New
York City from Russia in the early
1900s. His father, Harry Wagonfeld -starting from nothing -- established a
successful wholesale pharmacy business in the city. Sam's many friends
knew him as a passionate and extraordinarily intelligent man with wide ranging interests, strong opinions and extensive knowledge of many and varied
topics. He felt bereft if he did not have
his daily copy of The New York
Times. An inveterate collector, for
many years he developed an extensive
stamp collection. He was also committed to fly fishing, golf, movies and
wine. His primary passion was Inuit
(northern Canadian Eskimo) art. Over
the next 25 years he amassed a world
class collection. He leaves his two
beloved sons and their families in the
San Francisco area: David and Alison
and their 3 children; Joel and Lisa and
their 2 children. David's and Joel's
mother, Barbara, died in 1987 after a
tragic accident. He also leaves his much
loved, long-time companion, Sally V. Allen, and her son, Vance, his wife Phyllis
and their 2 children. Over 26 years, Sam
and Sally shared a rich rewarding life
together. Service, Friday, 1:00pm, Feldman Mortuary Chapel; Interment Emanuel Cemetery; Contributions suggested to
Friends of Chamber Music, 191 University Boulevard, Suite # 974 Denver, CO
80206 or to the Douglas Society at Denver Art Museum, 100 W. 14th Avenue
Parkway, Denver CO 80204.
The Library of Congress has now made the Sigmund Freud Collection available online along with

The Denver Psychoanalytic Society Newsletter
The Arc of History: A Story of Clinical Meaning presented by Robert Emde, MD
True to his word and his title, Dr. Robert Emde began his talk
with the importance of the use of history as a developmental
process itself, especially in the case of developmental
psychobiology of children and infants, and that this history
does not exist without suffering along with triumph.
Dr. Emde outlined his talk by explaining the value of local
history, including the contribution to developmental
psychiatric biology in children and infants in Denver. He
explained that he has made presentations in 7 countries and
psychiatric communities in the last 1.5 years and that insights
from the Denver research, especially the stories of infant
mental health, have made a crucial contribution to the
important historical development of clinical meaning. He
reminded his audience that this contribution encompasses the
history of the Colorado Psychiatric Hospital, the
Psychoanalytic Society, the lessons of Rene Spitz, the oral
histories of the psychiatric pioneers in Colorado, and 2
important workshops in this area. In addition, he volunteered
that he would be sharing “2 scoops” with the audience about
recent developments in the field.
Dr. Emde mentioned many of the specifics of the archives
once contained in CPH, preserved and even rescued in some
cases by Mark Groth, including those written; oral; and visual,
either in film or photographs. These included the
contributions of people such as Rene Spitz, Brandt Steele, and
the Kaufman animal work in the primate laboratory in the
basement of CPH. The literature that came from the pioneers
in infant observation and infant suffering was truly remarkable,
including the 1962 article in the Journal of the American Medical
Association on child maltreatment by Kempe, Silverman, Steele,
and Droegemuler – the most cited paper in JAMA.
As an example, Emde used the role of history in a talk he gave
at the World Association of Infant Mental Health in Prague in
June 2016. His plenary outlined the 2 volumes of the
Frontiers of Infant Psychiatry in 1980 and 1983. The first
featured the work with infants by Rene Spitz, who for the first
time said that infants suffered, and they suffered from
depression, grief, separation from their mothers – the
symptom constellation we know as “hospitalism.” His
research also indicated that when infants were reunited with
their mothers or adopted early, a positive outcome was
possible.
The second volume was dedicated to Selma Frieberg, who
proposed the idea of suffering in parent/infant dyads and
identified some of the transferences in treatment. Alicia
Lieberman then took Frieberg’s work into parent/infant
psychotherapy, where angels populated the nurseries as well
as did the ghosts of the past.
Throughout, Emde elaborated the thread of clinical meaning in
these stories.
The current frontiers of infant developmental psychiatry
focus on
 Genomics or the surprises of the human genome and
how they interact with the environment
 Apoptosis or programed cell death
 The Human Microbiome Project, where there are an
estimated 10 times more bacteria in humans than cells,
many of which are essential to health.
But how to put this all together and put it to use? Emde
expressed optimism that the psychiatric and psychoanalytic
communities will continue to contribute to clinical meaning
through personalized medicine, genetic biologies, empathy
dynamics to name a few. Perhaps 2 scoops will also help?
Emde’s first “scoop” refers to Helen Egger, M.D., who is
currently Chair of the Department of Child and Adolescent
Psychiatry and Director of the Child Development Institute
at the Langone NYU Medical Center. Dr. Egger has been
appointed as the first endowed lecturer in developmental
psychobiology. Her contribution to the Arc of History and
clinical meaning is that she was a Margaret Mahler baby
whose mother became a psychiatrist and a psychoanalyst.
Emde’s second “scoop” refers to Mark Solms, Ph.D., a
South African who heads the Research Committee for the
IPA and founded the Journal of Neuropsychoanalysis.
Solms has been working for 30 years on the new English
translation of the Complete Works of Sigmund Freud with
recently discovered early letters. The new translation is
expected to be available in 2017.
Discussion with the audience ensued. Topics ranged from
the role of interpretation, relationship, intersubjective
experience, implicit relational knowing, and what really
happens in the consulting room. Dr. Emde ended his talk
with two photos – one of him with Rene Spitz in 1972 and
then one of himself 44 years later speaking about an Arc of
History.
Editor’s Note: I highly recommend the tape of Dr. Emde’s talk to really
glean the details of this complex talk. Further, I hope that Bob Emde
recognizes himself as central to the arc of history for the Denver community
and for all of those audiences who are fortunate enough to have him share
his work and ideas with them.
