Dear Colleagues,
from the frigid but sunny Northeast, I bring you the latest on the international psychoanalysis website, mirroring the equally frigid local and international political climate.
As usual, I will list the items of particular interest to me to give you a guideline, followed by the table of contents for the week.
1) I was particularly interested in the upcoming Scientific meeting at AIP on Freud, Females and Dissidence – which will be a continuation of a controversy between Freud, Horney and the early psychoanalysts in the 19430’s and 40’s, carried on then between Otto Fenichel and others, supporting to a large extent Freud’s position vis a vis Horney and her followers. It is of interest that this issue continues to be fought about to this day! I hope that some of you will get a chance to attend and also hear about Rosemary Balsam’s recent book “Women’s Bodies in Psychoanalysis.

2) Surely the book by Cate Shepherd:”Emotional Orphans: Healing Our Throwaway Children” is a must read for all treaters of traumatized children!

3) After several decades of private practice and supervision, I have had two patients in two days report on violent first hand experience – 1 missing a session because of being a victim of violence in a store, the other reporting a shooting of an 18 yr.old female neighbor now in critical condition. I strongly suggest that you all read a) gun violence and the mental health system and b) positiveness in the Editorials category.

Click Here to Read: The Article on Positiveness
4) The General News category contains excellent posts too numerous to mention but I suggest that you glance at it and read at least some, such as legal showdown over gay conversion therapy, mental health coverage for schools and grief over depression diagnosis.

5) All the film reviews but especially the Master and Hollywood’s New Shoah are in my opinion worth reading.

6) Having heard Dr. Henry Zvi Lothane speak about Sabina Spielrein at the APsaA meetings, I highly recommend that you read his 2 papers.

7) You will surely be pleased to know that a study confirms that the older brain continues to be able and willing to form new memories

XIII. Emotional Orphans: Healing Our Throwaway Children by Cate Shepherd
Emotional Orphans
Healing Our Throwaway Children
Cate Shepherd
Review by Shelly Goodman, PhD
Cate Shepherd allows us to enter into her life*s traumas and her volume reminds us of what always must remain the central issue in the treatment, most especially with the so severely wounded patient population she has worked with, that being effective treatment grows from the unique and healing bond between patient and therapist. We can vividly see her world forming the kind of secure attachments that further empathy and self-regulation. Shepherd graphically conveys how she moves along with the troubled youngsters she lives and works with in a parallel manner that creates a bond for even the most despairing. I feel it is crucial to state ever so clearly that in reading her text I felt I was standing beside her and saw how the wounds of the healer are (more*)

No, the Prime Minister didn*t meet with us. Hugo Chavez or at least his sash was being inaugurated and Mr. Laurent Salvador Lamothe left us to the good offices of his very effective assistant, Allison Llera. We took photographs and got lots of good advice. Meanwhile, no more child-raping is occurring in the seven camps we serve and UNFPA still will not meet with me.

Anderson is a student of film history while his being an auteur is essential to understanding his intent. He stands on the shoulders of earlier filmmakers, influenced by them and seeking to relate his version of the *American Dream*. Some of the facts concerning the film are important; it is*
