A Referral From Dr. Rothenberg

In 1989, I read about Dr. Albert Rothenberg, an expert in the creative process. I sent him a copy of my autobiography: "The Caliban Complex: An Attempt at Self-Analysis." Dr. Rothenberg replied in the following letter in which he provided two referrals near my home.

In January 1990 I entered psychotherapy with Stanley R. Palombo, MD. He was an outstanding therapist, but I suffer from a very rare psychiatric disorder, asymptomatic paranoid schizophrenia. Dr. Palombo apparently had little or no experience treating asymptomatic paranoid schizophrenia. But then, who does?

I wonder what's happened to Dr. Rothenberg?
