Dear Colleagues,
As you know, apart from the festivities, the holiday season also brings increased demands in the work schedule, so this will be but a brief note from me. I wish you all an enjoyable holiday season and a Happy New Year. As usual,I give you my choices for the week, followed by the entire list of postings. There is a wealth of material on the website and I have only been able to make a small dent in giving you my synopsis:
1) In the spirit of the moment, I urge you to consider a donation – large or small – to our international website, to keep the wonderful posts coming to us every week and expand our horizons.

2) I found the the NYT article on How Oedipus Is Losing His Complex delightfully readable and supportive of much of my clinical experience with analytic patients and their experience. Please read and consider commenting on this challenge to the bedrock of psychoanalysis.

3) Please note the new Novella by our ever prolific Nathan Szajnberg!

4) The Thought Leader by David Brooks in the NYT needs to by considered by psychoanalysts in a historical context as well as a product of the current culture.

5) I could not decide which of the General News posts was more compelling, be it Noah’s Story of letters, David Werman from Anna Freud or the selling of ADHD, so please glance at them all – most are riveting. Current events are ready for psychoanalysis to ponder.

IV. Donations to InternationalPsychoanalysis.net
Internationanalpsychoanalysis.net has flourished in a remarkable way since it was launched in January 2007. It has become both an archive and a news source.
One of the serendipitous outgrowths of its presence and has been that we have even more reasons to experience ourselves as a community with a history, elders, anniversaries, anecdotes, a paper trail, photos and relics of our founders *** and evidence of our on-going growth and adaptation to a very changed therapeutic world.
But the growth has outpaced the cottage and one computer.
Are you able to contribute to the cost of our widening scope?
We will use contributions to internationalpsychoanalysis.net to scan and transcribe papers, search archives, find photographs format documents and upload recordings and videos. It is labor intensive and for me a labor of love [but for the helpers, indeed, work].

Rethinking Kishinev: How a Riot Changed 20th-Century Jewish History
Kishinev***s 1903 pogrom was the first event in Russian Jewish life to receive international attention. The riot, leaving 49 dead in an obscure border town, dominated the headlines of the western press for weeks, intruded on US-Russian relations, and had an impact on an astonishing array of institutions, such as the nascent Jewish army in Palestine, and the NAACP. It most likely also influenced …

VI. New Novella: JerusaLand, by Nathan Szajnberg
Imagine, Professor Osef says to his eleven year old niece, imagine if Jerusalem were to be turned into an amusement park, a Disney land for Jews and Christians and Moslems. The Temple Mount would be crowned with a rainbow-hued roller coaster; fireworks near David***s Citadel; a Lover***s Lane boat ride by the Western Wall. This is how Professor Osef imagines Jerusalem that his niece would enjoy, not the dour stones paced by dour men. Osef is about to leave the City he once loved. Join him as he does last rounds at the King David, the kosher burger spot, the send-offs by faculty colleagues. But, this is Israel and Death lurks in the shuk nearby.
A Dying Affair: Mr. Osef***s Jerusalem

(Excerpt from JerusaLand: An Insignificant Death)
How will this affair end, this one-sided, dying passion between Mr. Osef..
