Dear colleagues,
The year 2013 is promising to be one in which most countries in the world are reassessing their positions deciding hierarchy ( e.g USA/China) and reviewing their histories – what traditions to keep, which to discard and move on. the world of Psychoanalysis, as evidenced in APsaA, as well as elsewhere, is undergoing similar soul searching. This week the international psychoanalytic website reflects this in its rich historical posts as well as in the new ideas and research.
Let me direct your attention to the salient posts that I have picked out, as well as to the rest of the menu.
My choices this week:
1) this week we are bombarded by a multitude of riches so to tell the truth, I am completely bewildered as to which of the post in the BOOKS Category to recommend to you. I have therefore chosen to give you the following:
a) if you are clinically inclined, you should glance at
Individual and Family Therapy by Fred Sander,
Click here to Read: On Fred Sander’s Book
Clinical Supervision of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy by Jill Savege Scharff M.D.,
Click here to Read: On Jill Savege Scharff’s Book
Most certainly at Nine Lives: Nine Case Histories Reflecting the Human Condition by Newell Fischer,
Click here to Read: On Newell Fischer’s Book
Possibly at the Psychology of Beauty
Click here to Read: On Ellen Sinkman’s Book
b) If interested in psychoanalytic history, do not miss:
Racial Fever as well as the intriguing world without Jews, the diaries of Wilhelm Reich and his vicissitudes, and of course Psychoanalysis in Vienna and Berlin By Lore Reich Rubin- in the PAPERS category
Click here to Read: Racial Fever
Click here to Read: Wilhelm Reich
Click here to Read: Lore Riech Rubin
c) if literature interests you:
you must read about Shakespeare and Maurice Sendak and the interview with Philip Roth
Click here to Read: Maurice Sendak
Click Here to Read: Phlip Roth
d) if you prefer the Social Sciences and aging, try reading about Margaret Mead, and hearing and Dementia which should “cheer up” a lot of us.
Click here to Read: Margaret Mead
Click here to Read: Dementia
2) The articles on Chinese economy are both very interesting from both the financial and psychological points of view.
Click here to Read: Chinese Industries
Click here to Read: Inequality in China
3) The post in the EDITORIALS tell you about the good, the bad and the horrid of progress:
Click here to Read: Hacks
NB. “The rule of thumb in Washington ( and APsaA ?) used to be: Don’t do anything that you wouldn’t want to see printed on the front page of The New York Times. The new rule is: Don’t send an e-mail you wouldn’t want to see printed on the front page of The New York Times.
4) The intriguing post on Psychoanalysis and Ecology is truly worth tackling:
Click here to Read: Ecology
“As its title flags up, Psychoanalysis and ecology at the edge of chaos makes a significant contribution to current discussions around the ecological crisis by suggesting that psychoanalysis offers important insights in the problem of climate change and its effects. Now this might initially look like a difficult argument to grasp, but the challenges that the author Joseph Dodds presents us with do not stop here; the second important argument of the book is that psychoanalytic thinking is compatible with and complimentary to Deleuze’s and Guattari’s philosophies. Two plateaus of challenging suggestions and analyses then that I will try to unfold in this review.”
5) Finally, I must recommend the paper about my most favorite philosophical/political/humanistic writer : The Gift of Christopher Lasch by James Seaton.
