Dear Colleauges,
This week, so full of socio-political unrest, is reflected on our website in posts regarding emotional unrest, struggles and surprises, as well as accounts of psychohistory of interest to us.
Though I urge you to follow your own interests as you scan the site, my picks as usual tend to the clinical, the youth and the trauma oriented spectrum of articles, hence I have chosen the following:
1) The plight of our often not initially disturbed and talented youth, as reflected in Suicide Draws Attention to Gay Bullying.

2) I urge all to read ***What Is Madness*** by Darian Leader, who, says Jactuline Rose in the Guardian, ***is best known as elegant populariser of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. He is also one of the most effective campaigning voices against these developments in the treatment of mental disorder. “Gone,” he writes in this important new book on madness, “is the idea of a complex psychic causality or even of an interior life.” An “ethical reversal” based on an illusion *** the belief that internal life can be objectively measured *** has usurped the role of sensitivity to human speech.

psychoanalyst, Rafah Nashed
