Dear Colleagues:
With the hurricane crisis subsiding though the aftermath not over, I extend first of all my heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery of material losses you may have suffered and for healing of the emotional wounds that this tragedy may have brought your way. If reading our website can be a helpful diversion, I highly recommend it as an antidote to the current stresses be they natural disasters or man made.
My choices this week include:
1) A photograph – *Giverney in the Bronx,* by Anita Katz is a welcome and beautiful contrast to the “water” photographs we have been seeing all week.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR PSYCHOANALYSIS IN CLINICAL SOCIAL WORK (AAPCSW)* announces its national conference *
March 14 * 17, 2013, at the Durham Convention Center/Marriott Durham City Center, Durham, North Carolina
For a complete listing of the program, hotel information, and registration form, visit: www.aapcsw.org
Psychoanalysis has had a sometimes painful history of splintering into disparate, exclusive groups. Some voices have been muted, while others have been privileged. Contemporary psychoanalytic theories and techniques pull from many sources and encourage multiple orientations. What is gained and what is lost by our efforts at integration or separateness? Is there still space for debate and dissent? In addition, how do issues of identity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and social class inform and challenge theory and practice? In an effort to deepen our understanding and enrich our practice, this conference seeks to facilitate dialogue among clinicians and scholars from a broad spectrum of the psychoanalytic community. *.

Mimesis of Inner Lives in Western Literature: How We Got Our Ideas About Inner Life.
Ticho Memorial Lecture Chicago, Am. Psychoanalytic Association June 2012
N. Szajnberg, MD
Part I: Bible and Homer: on Character; on Parenthood.
This paper*s idea first rose with Saul Bellow in 1970. He promised, in our seminar on Joyce*s Ulysses, that the only book of literary criticism I would ever have to read is Auerbach*s Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature. Several decades later, to design a course for the Hebrew University, I used this grand text as a loom with which I wove the literary and aesthetics threads of our psychoanalytic fabric: concepts of person, parent-child relatedness, intimacy, development, journey as soul-cure, with a guide for this treacherous journey. Just as Freud turned to an Antique Greek myth to understand a Victorian state of mind; just as Ticho articulated contributions of German thinking to Freud*s ideas; or, Makari uncovered three nineteenth Century strands that Freud wove together into a new view of the psyche; just as Bettelheim explored linguistic contributions to concepts of psyche and eros (Freud and Man*s Soul), so, I will cull selections of Western literature# to examine how and when certain concepts developed, and crystallized into how we think about inner life. *..
