    Dr. Bernard C. Meyer, a Manhattan psychiatrist and psychoanalyst whose affiliation with Mount Sinai Hospital spanned more than 40 years, died in 1988 at his home after a lengthy illness. He was 78 years old and lived on the Upper East Side.
    Dr. Meyer, a graduate of the New York Psychoanalytic Institute, became a clinical professor of psychiatry at the Mount Sinai Medical School. The school cited his contributions in awarding him its Jacobi Medallion last year, and he delivered the Freud Anniversary Lecture at the institute in 1986.
    Dr. Meyer is best known for writing the famous psychoanalytic portrait “Houdini: A Mind in Chains”.
    Dr. Meyer was survived by his second wife, the former Leonore Rosenbaum; a son, Nicholas, of Hollywood, Calif.; three daughters, Constance Spottiswoode of Los Angeles, and Juliet and Deborah Abigail Meyer, both of Manhattan; three sisters, Marcelle Bier of San Franciso, Ruth Cherniss of Princeton, N.J., and Jeanne Hirning of Katonah, N.Y., and one granddaughter. His first wife, Elly Kassman, a concert pianist, died in 1960.
