Two new photographs of Dr. Eric Berne are being released. One is a previously released but rarely seen photo of Eric at a poker table holding poker chips. This photograph was featured in the 1970 Life Magazine review of Sex in Human Loving, published posthumously.

The second is a previously unreleased photo of Eric courtesy of his step-daughter Janet. It shows Eric, presumed to be in the mid to late 1960s, standing outside next to a building in a suit. He is holding is pipe in his left hand. The location and exact date of this photo is unknown.  There is some minor distortion of the photo but it is still excellent quality!

We hope everyone enjoys these photographs as much as we do.

Since the Eric Berne website was first started in 1999, we have been making previously unseen photographs and memorabilia available online.  We are in the process of digitizing many of Eric Berne’s personal photos and memorabilia. We have just released two new items:

The above is a photograph of Eric Berne at dinner with his second wife Dorothy and 4 guests.  The identities of the guests are unknown, as well as the date and location. If anyone has this information, please contact the webmaster. This picture comes directly from the Family Archives.  Clicking on it will yield a very high resolution copy of excellent quality.

This is a letter from Eric Berne to his mother, Sara Gordon Bernstein. It is from July 1946 and is announcing the opening of his new practice in Carmel, CA.  Eric left the Army in 1946 and settled into Carmel. At this point his mother was living in New York City.  Note that he had shortened his mother’s name (at least on the address of the letter) to “Berne” from “Bernstein.”  This also comes directly from the Family Archives.  Clicking on it will yield a high resolution copy as well.

All of these photographs and other items can be found on the photo page here.
