Dear Colleagues,
As the holidays approach and the cold weather sets in, we all begin to hear more about the world news, the local weather and the stalemates in government. It is also a season when we can take the time to read the posts on the international psychoanalytic website and appreciate the devotion and intensity of effort which many of us and our colleagues put into expanding our psychoanalytic thinking. I hope you enjoy this week’s menu. I have left out some of the Announcements which I had mentioned in previous posts, so please review them on the website.
My recommendations this week are:
1) Listening to Deborah Peel and others speak on electronic medical records and patient privacy is an absolute must!

3) Creativity /craziness/eccentricities – well known for centuries. “Today the link between creativity and mental illness is firmly embedded in the public conscience. Unlike some supposed cultural wisdoms, however, there’s a good bit of scientific evidence behind this one.”
Please read.

XVI. Loneliness Discussion Group at APsaA Meeting: Jan. 2014
We invite you to our Jan. 16th, 2014 Discussion Group # 110 on Loneliness and Aloneness at the Waldorf Astoria, NYC. The
psychoanalytic literature provides many theories about what drives loneliness. Dr. Richard Reichbart will present a clinical case of a woman whom he believes uses her loneliness as a way to avenge the perceived and real hurts by particular men in her life. Also, he will use examples from situations with other women patients who demonstrate similar dynamics.
Different theories of loneliness will be referred to as we distinguish between loneliness and solitude. Inter-pretations that might help a person to move beyond his/her loneliness will be considered as they apply to this patient and perhaps to some other patients whom we treat. Dr. Arlene Kramer Richards will lead the discussion and Dr. Lucille Spira briefly will summarize psychoanalytic ideas about loneliness.
Date: Jan. 16th
Time: 7:00-9:00 PM
Place: Waldorf Astoria, NYC
