Writing Series 2 1957-2002, undated

Series Description

The bulk of this series consists of journal articles, conference papers, and other professional writing by Eisner. Most of these works have been published, although some are unpublished manuscripts. There is also a copy of a manuscript for Eisner's book The Unused Potential of Marriage and Sex (published 1970) and an unpublished manuscript based on Eisner's experiences with group therapy titled I Can't, You Can't, But We Can.
Later in life Eisner pursued creative writing and composed poetry under the name Abigail Bradbury. Although there are no examples of her poetry in this series, there are manuscripts of a series of fables, titled "New Fables for New Times," written by Eisner in the early 1990s.

Correspondence Series 3 1946-1998

Series Description

This series consists primarily of Eisner's professional correspondence. However, since Eisner developed close friendships with many colleagues who shared her interest in LSD and other drug research, much of the content is of a personal nature. Some files also include clippings and other materials. Researchers should note the presence of additional correspondence in other series, particularly in Series 1: Family Papers.
