On the occasion of the death of Robert R. Holt (1917-2024), the Italian edition of the “personal introduction” to his book Freud Reappraised. A Fresh Look at Psychoanalytic Theory (New York: Guilford, 1989) is reprinted. In this introduction, Holt retraces the main aspects of his life as a scholar and theoretical researcher. Holt’s teachers and mentors included, among others, Gor-don Allport, Henry A. Murray, and David Rapaport, and we can say that he has been an im-portant witness of the history of psychology and psychoanalysis of the 20th century in North America. Holt was member of the editorial board of the journal Psicoterapia e Scienze Umane (“Psychotherapy and the Human Sciences”), in which he published various contributions, and came several times to hold seminars in Italy.
