Dear colleagues,
Many of you are otherwise occupied this holiday weekend, but I hope you will find time to browse and read some of the posts on the international psychoanalysis website. I have picked out a few and listed the rest of this weeks table of contents below.
Here are my choices:
1. It was a pleasure as well as more historical revelation to read the article about Nobel Winner Eric Kandel: ‘The Age of Insight,’ Memory, the Holocaust, and the Art of Vienna. Enjoy.

2. Please check out the China trips again if you are at all interested in going – I am told that they will be fabulous.

3. Arthur Schnitzler’s “Anatol” at the Aurora Theater Co. in NYC is probably THE play to go to see to experience the fin de siecle Viennese life of Sigmund Freud.

4) In the article of “Where Have all the Neurotics Gone”(in General News) which describes current cultural mores etc., what is missing is the IMHO is an emphasis on internal struggle in the neurotic, as opposed to the current action oriented “era of exquisite confusion – political, economic and otherwise -” externalized struggle. See what you think.
