Dear Colleagues,
According to recent news and events, the state of healthcare in the USA as well as the rest of the world seems to need a improvement. Thus what is happening to psychoanalysis and what we are doing about it is in step with all the changes evident in the 21st century. Our website is trying very hard to keep you abreast of the latest developments and I hope that the posts this week will add to your understanding.
My choices this week are:
1) “The video, ‘The Innovation of Loneliness’, by Shimi Cohen, which explores how loneliness continues to run rampant in Western culture despite the seemingly infinite technological means we now have for social connection is a compelling view of modern society

2) Please read Fred Busch’s review of The Year of Durocher by Theodore Jacobs.

5) Surviving pregnant in Auschwitz?

6) No ADHD in France? Surprise – French doctors prefer to look for the underlying issue that is causing the child distress***not in the child’s brain but in the child’s social context. They then choose to treat the underlying social context problem with psychotherapy or family counseling.

XXVII. Review of The Year of Durocher by Theodore Jacobs
A heart -warming description of adolescent angst. While it focuses on growing up in New York within the Jewish caste system of the 1950***s, the book has a universal appeal. To capture this I was reminded of an advertising campaign many years ago in the New York subways where, under pictures of individuals from various ethnic groups, was the slogan, You Don***t Have to be Jewish to Enjoy Levy***s Jewish Rye Bread. This book has echoes of Phillip Roth***s Goodbye Columbus, with the gentle humor and empathy we associate with Ted Jacobs writing. Former Brooklyn Dodger fans, who still feel their childhood ended with the betrayal of Leo Durocher going from the Dodgers to manage the New York Giants (only the beginning of the betrayals), can be assured that this book only tangentially relates to ***Leo the lip***.
