History made in White house, in analysis, in mind/brain research & more from Sasha Rolde on IP.net

Dear Colleagues,

Our international psychoanalytic website is ready to give you all the good news this week, one in which our country’s president made history by endorsing gay marriage and history was made in psychoanalysis by a prominent psychoanalytic society and institute as it changed its name to move forward. May these historic changes continue in our own society.

Writing in the Journal of Neuroscience, they identify a reaction to negative language inputs which shuts down unconscious processing.”
