Dear Colleagues,
with graduations looming, end of the year chaos and preparations for summer vacations, many of us are really busy, but I will urge you again to take time to read this week’s post on the international psychoanalytic website and to comment on them. It connects us with our world in a very unique way and it is growing in scope over the years. As always I try not to repeat the Announcements from previous weeks but as some of the events have not yet taken place, you may want to look at the entire category of announcements rather than just the ones I mention here.
My favorite posts this week are:
1) Our thanks go to Dr. Newell Fischer for his Reviews of Nine Lives, a most welcome addition to our published repertoire of our work.

2) It seems oddly apt that in the Editorials section there are two posts – one on the the European Psychiatrists/ concerns regarding DSM-5 and the other on “Is that God Talking” – Please comment!!

3) In the General News Category there are posts too numerous to mention in my introduction (see below) but suffice it to say that they are worth reading as a whole, as they refer in one way or another to the condition of psychoanalysis in the present time – be it the culture of “just do it”, or the “dark side of psychoanalysis”. And yet, we still look for “psychological explanations” – for PTSD, the mind of the con man or the bombers in Boston, and the issue of being gay and how to deal with it does not go away.

3) It’s the glia! New remedies may be possible from study on sleep deprivation easing depression. Could you have guessed?

4) Monkeys see, monkey do? Apparently yes. See the Science News.
