Not sure what to say?

Dr. Wood was my teacher for several seminars during my psychiatry residency at Baylor College of Medicine in the early 1990s. A few years later when I lost my life partner quite suddenly Dr. Wood became my therapist. He helped me through a bleak period of my life. He was a fine man and a superb therapist. Who can forget the many gorgeous Porsche 911s he owned?

I had the great good fortune to have Ed as a therapist during a difficult time in my life. Though he had a strong commitment to Freudian psychoanalysis (I remember the wonderful iconic photo of Freud in his office), he was able to treat me as an individual with insight and compassion. We both shared an interest in Indians of the Southwest and so it was a treat to talk to him in his very cool office. I miss him.

Lost but never forgotten. Mary Scharold

Dr. Wood entered my life twice. The first time I was looking for guidance and he offered more than I could ever imagine. The second, was almost serendipitous. We reconnected shortly before I was unknowingly about to begin the most difficult year of my life. Each time he guided me through with compassion, and genuine empathy. He truly was the last of his kind. I think of him often, and have the fondest memories of his calm and easy demeanor. DQ, I will see you again doctor. DQ.

Dr. Wood was a dear person to all, a fine practitioner to many, and a good friend to me. He was truly "the keeper of the meaning" for us in the psychoanalytic institute and was cherished for this role. My condolences to his family & all of us who will miss him --

Dr. Wood was a physician and psychoanalyst with immense understanding of the human condition. I am privileged to have known him from 1975 when iI was a first-year resident in psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine. His kindness and gentle guidance--and his professional integrity--were sources of inspiration to me. As someone who knew him well, may i offer my condolences to all his family.

My thoughts and prayers to the family and friends. He was one of a kind and will be missed. May your fond memories bring you peace at this difficult time.

Offering our sincere condolences.
