Dr. Rathbun had a reputation as a “hard” supervisor, and I was assigned to him only by special permission, at the recommendation of another supervisor who thought it was a good match. Marc was a fellow “grumpy old man” even 20 years ago, and I felt a kindred spirit, and admired him immensely. Also, he made me work really hard! - I learned so much from him. He was especially instrumental in helping restore my faith in psychotherapy, and helping me to discern good therapy - the kind that changes you! - from ineffective therapy. Because of him, I nearly had a first job at the (famous) Austin Riggs hospital in MA… which would have led me down a *very* different path. Marc was a great teacher and clinician and the world will be a little darker in his absence.
