FOR ROBI WITH LOVE. You were my mentor,my friend,my hero, my genius, my courageous renegade. Never a day goes by when I don't miss you; miss our sharing, stories, theories, laughter, writing ... and musing over cases. Always and forever ... I hope I'm doing you proud my old friend.Love, Marnie

Robi, I will never forget you, and I will always love you for your caring and wise work with me in 1969. Happy Heavenly Birthday on December 29, 2022. Your forever friend, Elizabeth

Happy Birthday, Robi. I think of you often.

Recientemente estoy conociendo la maravillosa historia de este gran autor, soy psicóloga y fotógrafa y me interesa mucho el mundo de las artes visuales. Me hubiese gustado que el señor Akeret estuviera en vida para agradecerle por el maravilloso trabajo que realizó en el campo de la psicología.

How awfully sad! I am just reading your book on 28 June 2020 "The Man who loved a Polar Bear". I was sincerely hoping to meet you as I am loving it more after each page, but I guess that is not to be. I wondered why you mentioned European clients in your book but now know why aka being Swiss. I had lots of Swiss friends once. Well do RIP and I sincerely believe it is a great loss but perhaps you are in a better place. Anton

Thank you from Germany for your book ...travelling couch !

I loved Robi and think of him often. I am so grateful to have had him in my life as both therapist and friend. Miss him.

My name is Frank Kay from England,I met Robert and his wonderful family in the summer of 1972 at the age of 19 years at their ranch on Lake Champlain.I had visited with Alec Martin and his girlfriend Susie from NY.Robert was a very special person, and i send my love to his family at just reading this very sad news.

I was so lucky to have found Robi. He was a brilliant therapist. He helped me worked through problems that haunted me from childhood through my 40's. He lifted the cloud of depression and led me to the sunlight. He never let me down. There are no words to express the enormity of my gratitude.
