Dear colleagues,
In remembrance of Veterans Day, I have listed my choices this week with conflict, war , trauma and resolution in mind. However there are numerous other posts on the international psychoanalytic website that are a must read and I urge you to browse in addition to my suggestions.
My choice are as follows:
1) HIDDEN BATTLES *** a film to be shown at IPTAR *** on the life changing experiences of Israeli and American soldiers

2) . Pedrito: Blood of the Ancestors with Martha Bragin at IPTAR ***Spirits and demons . . . are only projections of man***s own emotional impulses. He turns his emotional cathexes into persons, he peoples the world with them and meets his internal mental processes again outside himself.*** Sigmund Freud (Totem and Taboo)
***In Angola, as in other African nations such as Uganda today, child soldiers were recruited in a bloody 27 year war between opposition groups and the government. Pedrito, an Angolan youth, became a child soldier in a rebel army at the age of 8***..***
Dr. Bragin received the Hayman Prize of the IPA for work with trauma in children and adults.

3) Analysts on the Front Lines: Four WW-II Veterans Recall their Combat Experience (Part 1)
On December 5, 1996, four World-War II combat veterans who are also psychoanalysts at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute got together for a very special Veteran***s Day presentation. Each of the four shared stories of their actual combat experience on the front lines during Worls War II. In these insightful memoirs, many personal, heroic, and painful memories were shared with the audience, and a fascinating and engaging Q & A session followed the program. The four analysts involved were M.Donald Coleman (also moderator), Howard Schlossman, Murray Nadelman, and Eugene Kaplan. This program captures some truly historic memories and is quite moving. (This post is part 1 of a 2 part series with Eugene Kaplan***s presentation and the
question-and-answer session )
This entry was posted on Wednesday, June 16th, 2010 at 5:56 pm and is filed under Audio/Video, NYPSI Centenary 1911-2011.
