Dear Colleagues:
A large number of posts has accumulated on the international psychoanalytic website in my 3 week absence, not to mention the turbulent global political events. I will not try to summarize it all, but will instead begin afresh by giving you the last week’s fare, with the hope that you already have, or will look back over the previous couple of weeks to see what has been brewing while I attended the IPA Congress.
The posts of most interest to me this week are:
1) To psychoanalysts, the emergence of a new generation of Jews, a resurgence of Jewish culture in Poland and its implications on the identity formation of this Third Post Holocaust generation is surely significant. Please see in the ANNOUNCEMENTS Category.

2) It seems that global warming has more problems associated with it than we think. As analysts we believe that we can contribute to world peace. A rise in temperature challenges us with a rise in global human violence. A Sisyphean task! See California study in AUDIO/VIDEO Category.

3) In the words of Mr. Greenberg (see EDITORIALS Category), the 2 posts on DSM V – “if it weren’t so sad, it would be hilarious”.
