DR. DONALD L. NATHANSON

Forever grateful that I got to meet and learn from Donald Nathanson - hardly a day passes without the mention of his name.

Very found memories of Don Nathanson, a mentor and inspiration.

Two years on and my memories of Don remain as strong as ever. I find it impossible to talk about relationships without mentioning his name such was Don's influence on my work and life. Forever grateful our paths crossed and his legacy to the restorative movement will never be diminished.

I am just now finishing reading Donald's book, Shame and Pride and I am learning so much from it which I believe will help me live a better life. Donald was an insightful and brilliant man who has made an impact on myself and the world. I will spread the knowlege I have gained from him to others. My condolances.

Generous to a fault with his time and wisdom, Don's infectious personality and great wit meant that every interaction was always challenging yet memorable.

The faith he had in me was invaluable to my development as a Psychiatrist and a...
