Dear Colleagues,
The international psychoanalysis website this week, as previously, reflects the world issues as well as informs us of current events and advances in our field. As previously, The Books and the Science News categories attracted me with especially interesting topics.
I will list some post that have caught my interest, avoid previously posted announcements and encourage you to peruse the rest of the post on the website.
1) An interesting program with Fred Bush presenting Ego Psychology in the Analytic Encounter at IPTAR is surely one not to miss. This meeting already happened, but is worth reading about.
