Dear colleagues,
For my first message to you about the international psychoanalytic website since the APsaA meetings and the stunning election outcomes which I hope you all know by now, I will begin by saying that our editors don’t skip a beat in providing us with varied and interesting posts. I am omitting some in the Announcements which had been in previous posts from me. As for my own choices, I am starting in medias res with a post from the book section, ( having to do with my interest in children and abuse) as well as a few others, but encourage you to also make your own choices. The interviews on UTube are wonderful!
My suggestions for this week:
1) Please read and, as I did, imagine how you would write a review which Katie Roiphe did of “Girl Land” – an eternally written book on how to protect young girls from the world, no matter what society we are talking about. Could more have been said …? Girls in different parts of the world, which is now so small, have different issues to deal with.

2) The Dangerous Method Posts continue to be riveting.

3) Please acquaint yourselves with all the prominent 2011 Sigourney Award winners.

4) Interested in the analysis of the emotional side of finance? You will find David Tuckett’s ( he is Fellow, Institute of Psychoanalysis; Professor, University College London) excerpt from Minding the Markets: an Emotional Finance Five of Financial Intstabiltiy in the Huffington Post quite provocative and possibly accurate?

5) The General News category contains several posts on psychoanalysis from concerns about its current plight to Freud’s Moses and Monotheism. All are well written and worth reading/reviewing and commenting on!!

6) We have known from our work that stress causes dysfunction, but it is rather disquieting that science has discovered that “being stressed out, coupled with history of stressful life events” shrinks your frontal lobes. Please read in the Science Category.

N. Szajnberg, MD Managing Editor
This report concerns his visit in South Africa on Mark Solms’ estate.
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Leah and I had an exciting visit with Mark Solms, the well-known psychoanalyst and neuropsychologist who has done so much to shape contemporary views of the dreaming brain and the neuroscience of subjectivity. Mark was quite interested in Beth Kalish’s and my findings about dreams among the Achuar in the Amazon. We talked about those at some length and considered the issue of worldwide similarities in dream contents in relation to the neuroscience of dreaming.
