Dear Dr. Barmaek:

It gives me great pleasure to recommend the appointoen:
of Dr. Robert L. Kahn for a teaching position at City College.

at mount Sinai Boapital in New York. Dr. Kahn was

working with Dr. E. A. Reinstain in studies of language patterns
in patients with orzaeic brain changes. is a resident physician.
I had the opportonicy to observe these studies. I learned mode
from Bob, and in 1955, when I had the opportunity to eerahlioh

During the period 1955-1959. Bob was my codworkar in the
Departaaet or Experiaental Psychiatry at ﬁilleide Hospital. we
were interested in studies of the convulsive therapy process, and
Bob stimulated a wide range of erudiee. including language. social
aspecra. electroencephalography. the California F Scale, and later.
various experimental psychological tasks. It was free him that
I learned to differentiate paychologioal teake ea predictor: of
change in performance. and aa indiearore of change in performance.
Throughout

this period, I found

him

to be a patient

and

understanding teacher and eouworker. Administrative problems
provided hianvith little anxiety, and he was the principal

ioveerigaror in

many

erudiea.

When Dr. Seymour Parlin eoughr to establiah the paychiatrie
unit at nonrefiora Hoepital, I was both pleased and unhappy that
he aaked lob ro-becoae his associate. I regretted Bob‘e leaving
very such, for I felt than. and as I look back, believe now, that
he was an unusual eatelyat ea wall as a etiaularing eo-uorkar.
