SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (JTA) — This is one of the strangest belief you’ll anytime read, about one of the strangest belief anytime told in a podcast.
“The Compress Abutting Door,” rated No. 1 for three weeks beeline on Apple’s Podcast charts, is about a Manhattan psychiatrist, Dr. Isaac “Ike” Herschkopf, accustomed for alleviative — and name-dropping — an arrangement of celebrity patients while acceptable able-bodied accustomed in Jewish and arcane altruistic circles.
The podcast, accounting and hosted by Bloomberg columnist Joe Nocera, is mostly about Martin Markowitz, a longtime accommodating of Herschkopf, who says he spent best of his activity – added than 30 years – beneath Herschkopf’s sway. In six episodes — a seventh comes out this anniversary — Nocera describes how the analyst abandoned Markowitz from his accompany and ancestors and encouraged him not to accompany abeyant alliance partners.
There’s more: “Shrink” describes how Herschkopf became admiral of Markowitz’s affected fabrics business, created a accommodating foundation about absolutely with Markowitz’s money, and got the foundation and his wife alleged in Markowitz’s will afterwards his accommodating removed his sister and her accouchement at the psychiatrist’s suggestion.
In the meantime, Herschkopf calm added than $3 actor in fees from Markowitz over three decades, Markowitz told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency this anniversary in an annual at his acreage here.
It’s the aforementioned wooded, awkward acreage that abstracts acutely in the podcast: Nocera lives abutting door, and while it belongs to Markowitz, Herschkopf managed to accroach it and present it as his own for 26 years — relegating Markowitz to bedfellow abode at the aback of the compound.
Herschkopf has claimed that Markowitz was a accommodating accomplice in everything, and Nocera’s wife speaks for abounding admirers aback she says at one point, “It takes two to tango.” Markowitz admits he was accessible and agreeably followed his psychiatrist’s instructions. Nevertheless, the podcast explores the able belief of a analyst civil himself into the personal, ancestors and banking activity of a accommodating to the amount that Herschkopf did.
Since the podcast debuted aftermost month, Herschkopf has faced able consequences.
Last weekend he abolished from the New York University Medical School’s website. He accommodated voluntarily, Herschkopf told JTA in a blast interview.
Over the weekend Herschkopf additionally accommodated from FASPE, the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Able Ethics, on whose lath of admiral he sat, according to the lath chair, David Goldman.
“We accustomed his resignation. Please agenda that we did not do any absolute analysis of the advertisement independent aural the podcast,” Goldman told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
In acknowledgment to a message, Herschkopf alleged aback JTA three times.
“I accommodated [from NYU and FASPE] to additional them the adverse publicity Nocera was activity to appointment aloft them,” Herschkopf said in one of the calls.
He alleged afterwards to catechism Nocera’s activity for the podcast, acquainted the announcer plays tennis on Markowitz’s court.
“One would assume that would accommodation his neutrality,” the analyst said.
Herschkopf additionally said that “90 percent of the podcast is apocryphal or out of context,” and that Nocera “has had a vendetta adjoin me for 10 years,” dating aback to aback the anchorman began investigating Markowitz’s claims.
Nocera replied to JTA that the podcast was “rigorously appear and actuality arrested to a fare-thee-well by me and the bodies at Wondery and Bloomberg,” which accordingly produced the podcast.
The podcast has created a activity in Manhattan’s tight-knit altruistic and Avant-garde Orthodox Jewish circles. Herschkopf abundantly hosted summer parties in the Hamptons that brought amid 70 and 170 bodies on buses — accountant by Markowitz — to the abode whose mailbox bore the name of “Dr. Isaac Stevens,” Herschkopf’s alias. Herschkopf had Markowitz adapt the admixture for anniversary affair and angle at the barbecue baking adequate book and confined guests.

Although patients would generally be arrive to the parties and admix with the added guests, guests with whom JTA batten say they had no abstraction that Markowitz was Herschkopf’s patient. They believed – from the way Markowitz was dressed to the roles he served at the parties – that he was assassin help.
The parties drew celebrities, actors and writers, and the creme de la creme of Manhattan’s Avant-garde Orthodox world. Gwyneth Paltrow, who was Herschkopf’s accommodating for a time, was amid the guests, Markowitz says.
For years Herschkopf wrote columns appear in The Jewish Week, best afresh in September. One was about actuality baffled by his father, an Auschwitz survivor.
The biographer Shalom Auslander wrote a agilely buried annual of his time with his celebrity-obsessed compress for The New York Times in 2006. Perhaps he was artlessly repaying the favor: Herschkopf wrote a letter to Esquire annual in 2001 anecdotic himself as Isaac Steven Hersch, Auslander’s psychiatrist.
Auslander did not acknowledge to several attempts by JTA to ability him.
Another acclaimed writer, who asked that her name not be included in this article, said she never went to the Southampton parties, admitting she abounding a Passover seder with Herschkopf and his ancestors already at their Manhattan apartment.
“Does this appear as a abundant shock to me? No,” she said. “There is article about him, his attraction with acclaimed people, and he consistently seemed to be sidling up to acclaimed arcane people. I alone would never acclaim him to anyone.”
Major Avant-garde Orthodox rabbis and common leaders were additionally arrive to the summer parties: Clergyman Haskel Lookstein of the Ramaz School and Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun; Clergyman Arthur Schneier of Park East Synagogue; his son Clergyman Marc Schneier of The Hampton Synagogue; and Clergyman Joseph Telushkin, the columnist of abounding books on Jewish articulacy and Jewish ethics.
In “Code of Jewish Belief Volume 2: Love Your Neighbor As Yourself,” Herschkopf is the aboriginal actuality amid dozens Telushkin acknowledgment in his acknowledgments. Telushkin additionally cites the analyst several times throughout its pages. Telushkin did not acknowledge to email and voicemail letters larboard by JTA.
Psychiatrist Samuel Klagsbrun and his wife, biographer Francine Klagsbrun, were arrive to the parties.
“We may accept gone. I don’t apperceive him decidedly well,” said Samuel Klagsbrun, who founded Four Winds Hospitals, which activity brainy bloom casework in upstate New York.
After actuality told about the allegations adjoin Herschkopf, Samuel Klagsbrun said, “This is one of the affliction cases I’ve anytime heard of. To use psychiatry to dispense bodies like that is all kinds of criminality. He should accept his medical authorization taken away. He acclimated whatever aptitude he has to dispense people. The accident he did to Marty … and it besmirches all of psychiatry.”
Pouring alkali into accessible wounds
I visited Markowitz in the Hamptons on a airy June Saturday, and he showed me about the sumptuous, sun-dappled property. There is a ample basin complete with slide, full-size basketball court, the tennis court, hot tub and avant-garde sculptures. That’s in accession to assorted koi-stocked ponds and a professionally advised 18-hole miniature golf advance – one of alone bristles installed at clandestine homes in the country at the time, Markowitz said. It was all installed at Herschkopf’s administration and paid for by Markowitz, he told JTA.
Markowitz looks a decade adolescent than his 77 years, and is captivated to appearance me the apiary area he afresh began befitting honeybees, abaft which he affairs to anon add a craven coop. He is amusing and calm, and abstract as he recounts the facts of his accord with Herschkopf. He seems content.
But it wasn’t consistently that way. In June 1981 Markowitz, afresh 39, had afresh absent both his parents and was accidentally active their ample ancestors business, Associated Fabrics. In 1980, Markowitz was sued by an uncle black that his backward brother had larboard 50 percent of the aggregation to his son Marty. Aloof the year before, Markowitz had burst off an assurance aback his fiancee banned to assurance a prenuptial agreement. It was a demanding and aching time.
He angry to his rabbi, Shlomo Riskin, at the time Lincoln Square Synagogue’s leader, who had brought Markowitz afterpiece to Judaism. Riskin referred Markowitz to Herschkopf, afresh a adolescent analyst in his backward 20s. Through his assistant, Riskin – who has lived in Israel aback 1983 – said he “cannot activity any recollections, reflections or insights on the matter.”
Markowitz began seeing Herschkopf three times a week.
“Very quietly, over about an 18-month period, Ike started cloudburst alkali into all of my accessible wounds,” Markowitz said. “He got my sister and her accouchement and all of my claret ancestors and abutting accompany out of my life.
“A affiliated mantra from Ike was he’d say ‘you can’t handle the truth. You’re acquiescent aggressive, you can’t handle confrontation, you’re activity to spiral up the business and lose customers,’” Markowitz recalled.
As he breakable what remained of Markowitz’s brittle confidence, Herschkopf gradually began civil himself into administration decisions at Associated Fabrics.
Phyllis Shapiro, Markowitz’s adolescent sister by three years, afresh formed at the bolt company. In aboriginal 1983, Herschkopf “instructed me to serially lower Phyllis’s pay by $5,000, which I did several times.” Markowitz told JTA.
The analyst told Markowitz to accept a additional bar annual in May 1983, and not to allure his sister or her children.
Afterward, Shapiro flew to Switzerland, according to the podcast, and removed money affiliated from their parents from a coffer annual captivated accordingly with her brother, removed gold bill from a accordingly endemic safe drop box and took bonds from Markowitz’s apartment.
“At Dr. Ike’s affirmation I accursed Phyllis from Associated Fabrics,” Markowitz wrote on a timeline of contest he aggregate with me in Southampton.
Markowitz wrote a letter he said Herschkopf drafted advertence that “no one in the ancestors would anytime accede any of my money.” At the psychiatrist’s affirmation he assassin a agent to bear the letter, who larboard it with Shapiro’s afresh 11-year-old daughter.
After allegorical Markowitz to cut off all those relationships, “Ike said, ‘you don’t accept a family? Don’t worry. My ancestors will be your family, my kids like your nieces and nephews and we’re activity to accomplish a amusing activity for you,'” Markowitz recounted.
In February 1984, Herschkopf “instructed me to actualize the Yaron Foundation,” Markowitz wrote on his timeline. “Dr. Ike, Rebecca (his wife) and I are the admiral and directors. Simultaneously he convinces me to assassinate a will abrogation my absolute acreage to the Yaron Foundation. Dr. Ike is the sole abettor of the will.”
That year Markowitz and his sister were at abhorrent odds. They agreed to let Clergyman Riskin achieve their battle and, afterwards a beit din, or apostolic court, to which both ancestors brought lawyers, Riskin issued a cardinal adding the assets amid them, which they both accepted.
After that, “I didn’t see my sister for 27 years,” Markowitz told JTA.
“I had a arena in my adenoids and he was arch me around,” he said of Herschkopf.
Asked if he acquainted any centralized attrition to the demands his analyst was making, Markowitz said, “I had to put my animosity down. If my sister contacted me, if she larboard a bulletin or beatific me a altogether or New Year’s card, he instructed [me] to ‘bring all those things into me.’ We would accept to it calm and he would adapt it.”

‘I was asthmatic to death’

At the time, Markowitz endemic alone the Southampton acreage that is now the bedfellow house. In September 1986, Markowitz said, Herschkopf instructed him to buy the abutting property. The backdrop were connected, and the aboriginal of what would become the allegorical summer parties was captivated in June 1987 at the acreage Herschkopf began presenting as his own.
Framed photos of Herschkopf with celebrities covered every autogenous bank of the house. Herschkopf would acquaint Markowitz to accept them affected at his patient’s expense. He additionally had Markowitz blazon up every arrangement of the 12 books he wrote, best of which accept not been published.
To the parties, “each allurement came from Dr. Ike and his family, with no acknowledgment of me,” Markowitz wrote on his timeline.
To be sure, this isn’t the alone case in which a analyst has been accused of manipulating a accommodating and creating ancestors rifts and estrangements. The almsman Gloria Vanderbilt, who died Monday, accomplished article agnate with her psychiatrist, Dr. Christ Zois. Vanderbilt eventually sued Zois and won a $1.5 actor acumen adjoin him and an advocate who she accused of “preying on her abundance and affecting fragility.” It took abounding added years for her to accommodate with her conflicting son Stan Stokowski.
Markowitz began activity stirrings of depression with his analyst aback the doctor insisted that he accumulate the business in Manhattan, in amplitude he could no best afford.
“I was asthmatic to death,” he said. “We were four or bristles months abroad from bankruptcy,” both because of the hire and the fees he was advantageous his analyst beeline out of the business.
Markowitz said that in 1995, he additionally absent over $1.5 actor he had invested, at Herschkopf’s recommendation, in the Bennett Funding Group, which filed for defalcation afterwards the SEC filed artifice charges. At the time it was the better Ponzi arrangement in U.S. history.
Markowitz said he bankrupt abroad from Herschkopf in 2010 afterwards Markowitz had a breach operation and Herschkopf didn’t analysis in with his accommodating and declared acquaintance of about 40 years.
“I was devastated,” Markowitz said. “I began to catechism the accomplished base of our relationship.”
Using acquaint abstruse from Herschkopf, Markowitz wrote a letter adage he capital to booty a break. The doctor wrote aback admonishing that Markowitz was authoritative a abhorrent aberration and would lose his business to artful employees.
In December, Markowitz accomplished out to his sister, Phyllis. Aback she answered the phone, she told him, “I’ve been cat-and-mouse for this alarm for 27 years.”
Though it took some of her accouchement a while to assurance him again, they are now afterpiece than ever.

In the years aback 2010, brother and sister accept biked calm through Italy and catholic to China. Shapiro spends lots of time now at the Southampton estate, area she takes circadian tennis acquaint and plays competitively. The day I visited, neighbors alone by – including Joe Nocera, who lives abutting door. The two aboriginal met years ago, aback Herschkopf arrive him to one of the summer parties and Nocera, like anybody else, anticipation Markowitz was the psychiatrist’s employee.
Seeking justice
Things accept angry about for Markowitz.
“Once I started active the aggregation absolutely by myself I got my mojo back,” Markowitz told JTA. “I’m a alum of the Wharton School and NYU Law – I’ve got some austere CV activity on!”
The business is smaller, but it’s axis a accumulation for the aboriginal time in abounding years.
“I’m the happiest I’ve been for many, abounding years,” Markowitz said.
According to Markowitz, two added of Herschkopf’s patients, with agnate belief of actuality manipulated, additionally accept stepped forward, admitting neither he nor Nocera would admit their names or accede to acquaintance them on JTA’s behalf.
Markowitz’s one actual ambition is to accomplish abiding Herschkopf is professionally acclimatized for his ethical breaches. Complaints he filed with the New York State Department of Bloom in 2012 accept gone nowhere. And Herschkopf accommodated from the American Psychiatric Association, Markowitz said, afterwards actuality notified that it was activity to arise an analysis into his conduct.
A Department of Bloom spokeswoman, Erin Silk, told JTA, “Consistent with Accessible Bloom Law, the Department cannot affirm or abjure the cancellation of any complaint or the actuality of an Office of Able Medical Conduct (OPMC) analysis of a licensee unless accuse accept been acquaint on the DOH website or the Lath for Able Medical Conduct has taken a accessible action.”
In the podcast, Markowitz describes a chat with an OPMC agent who informs him that the complaint is in action but offers annihilation more.
A chase of Herschkopf’s name on the OPMC area of the DOH website turned up nothing.
“I appetite amends to be served and to me, him accident his [medical] authorization is justice,” Markowitz said. “I aloof don’t appetite him to do this to anyone else.”
