Harvey Peskin, 86, passed away on April 21, 2018. He was a longtime San Francisco State psychology professor, psychotherapist and Holocaust scholar. His paper which will run posthumously in Psychoanalytic Dialogues is titled Who Has the Right to Mourn? Relational Deference and the Ranking of Grief. It was not lost on family or friends or colleagues that, in the waning moments of his life, he was frantically finishing a paper on how to cope with a loved one’s death. In midcareer, Peskin began focusing on the intergenerational transmission of trauma experienced by the children of survivors of the Shoah and other genocides. In 2015, Peskin was awarded the Elise M. Hayman Award for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide by the International Psychoanalytic Association. He also served on the boards of Survivors International and the Holocaust Oral History Project. After graduating from City College of New York, he went to UC Berkeley to attend graduate school. He was appointed a professor at S.F. State in 1958 where he taught until 1994. His son, Victor, earned a Ph.D. and is an associate professor in the School of Politics and Global Studies at ASU, specializing in genocide and international tribunals. His focus on victims of marginalized atrocities draws a direct line from his father’s life’s work. Harvey Peskin is survived by his wife, Tsipora, two sons and two grandsons. The family requests donations in his memory be sent to Yad Vashem. (Source: ASU Foundation)
