I worked with Dr. Berger at the Aberdeen single room hotel in mid Manhattan from 1975 until 1980. Here we tended to recently discharged psychiatric patients, providing them a home and a multitude of social services. Dr. Berger was a friend and mentor who loved everyone he worked with.

Dear Heidi and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Dirk was a one-of-a-kind, out-of-the-box thinker, a witty, insightful person. It was an honor to know him and a pleasure to spend time with him.
May your memories comfort, sustain, and cheer you.

Dr Berger will be dearly missed. I loved his quick wit and his enigma smile. He enjoyed chatting about psychology and shared he had a daughter in law in the discipline. He was a mentor to many of our fellow psychiatry residents and his tenure earned him the respect of many colleagues those present and well as those retired. He was appreciated and he showed his respect and admirataion for others. Although his passing means we are missing his physical presence, I believe in our uniqueness as...
