A funeral service for Abrham Perlstein, MD will be held at 3:30 p.m., Thursday, April 4, 2013 in the Gevurtz Chapel at Ahavai Shalom Cemetery, 9323 SW 1st Ave.
Dr. Abraham Perlstein was born in Brooklyn, New York, on April 15, 1926, to Benjamin Wolf Perlstein and Pauline Gittler Perlstein, who came to the United States from Poland. He was the youngest of five children. His three oldest siblings, Harry, Joseph and Leo were born in Poland, and his sister, Esther, was born in Brooklyn.
Dr. Perlstein attended public school in Brooklyn, graduating from high school at Brooklyn Tech, a school for students with special talent in mathematics and science. He began college at Cornell University, but his freshman year was interrupted by his enlistment in the Army. He served in Europe toward the end of World War II as a gunner in a tank destroyer. After the war, he served as a Sargent Major on a military base in Texas.
After he was honorably discharged from the Army, Dr. Perlstein joined a friend in travelling to Oregon to enroll in the University of Oregon. There, he met a beautiful graduate student, Shirley Anne Rubenstein, who was his instructor in Calculus. He graduated in the spring of 1949, and they married soon thereafter, on July 10, 1949.
Dr. Perlstein began medical school at New York University the same year. After graduating from medical school, Dr. Perlstein spent his Internship year at Bellview Hospital in New York, NY. He did his residency training at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, NY, and he began psychoanalytic training.
Dr. Perlstein has had a very rich career in private practice of Psychiatry, first in Brooklyn, and then in Lynbrook, NY. He taught residents in the Alcohol Clinic at Kings County Hospital and he supervised residents in psychotherapy. At the age of 70, he retired from his practice in New York and moved to Oregon, a place which held many fond memories for him. He went to work 40 hours per week at Columbia River Mental Health Services, which was truly retirement for him. As time went on, he decreased his hours there, but he loved his work, and he did not retire until he was 85 years old. He continued to supervise a few physicians until shortly before he passed away.
Dr. Abraham Perlstein passed away on April 1, 2013. He had been widowed by his wife, Shirley Anne Rubenstein Perlstein in 2006. He is survived by his three children, Judith Perlstein Kane, Susan Carol Perlstein and Bernard William Perlstein, and his three grandchildren, Aaron Michael Kane, Gary Allen Kane and Elizabeth Yu Xi Willet.
