Moderated by Philip Kunhardt, Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Transformative Lives

Please join the Center for the Study of Transformative Lives on Tuesday, April 5 at 6pm for our spring lecture and conversation with Charles B. Strozier, psychoanalyst, CUNY professor of history, and author of the forthcoming book Your Friend Forever, A. Lincoln: The Enduring Friendship of Abraham Lincoln and Joshua Speed.

“Lincoln’s personal issues of loss and reunion proved remarkably continuous as he translated his private experience into an idiom that made sense of larger concerns. He turned outward and attempted, as Erik Erikson might say, to solve for all what he could not solve for himself alone.”
