Dear Colleagues.
For the last post before the New Year, there are several special treats on the international psychoanalysis website, which I list as my picks for the week. Thankfully, the world news seem to be relatively less eventful, and this being a holiday week I hope that you have more time to read, enjoy, and comment on the posts.
Here are my choices:
1) First of all, I just pre-registered for the Symposium 2014 at Mount Sinai Medical center in NYC and urge you to do likewise. Please read the Description and Program in the Announcements.
