Dear colleagues,
On the eve of summer as vacation time approaches, reading material comes into demand. The international psychoanalytic website provides us with the perfect flow of uninterrupted, timely and updated posts to enhance our reading experience. Not only are they interesting, but also add to our knowledge of current research and application of psychoanalytic theory and practice to our world. I hope that this week will give you an interesting preview of summer issues to come. Following the usual format, my choices will be followed by a list of the entire contents for this week.
My personal choices this week are:
1) I want to make a special mention of the post on the Donations to InternationalPsychoanalysis.net. As you know most of the “labor” is donated by those dedicated to bring us into the 21st century, but there is still a need for contributions to keep us going. Please consider helping.

2) President S. Bolognini offers an innovative point of view on IPA Training- please read in the IPA Web News article.

3) For summer reading please note the books category, whether it be in the IPBooks.net(e.g. tapes of Anne Sexton’s therapy), Jacques Lacan, Sigmund Freud, Ulysses, or others.

5) another assessment of the problems in mental health care as seen in “Another brilliant Onion critique of mental health” is a must read.

6) A thoughtful post by Annie Murphy Paul “Thirteen in Years, but 10 0r 15 in Thoughts and Action” warms my heart after having taught adolescent development for decades. She describes pre-adolescence as is – an ever changing enigma.

7) Dante’s quote comes to mind:””The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis” when reading the review of the film “the Czech Winter”! Read the review, see the film, learn more about the czech people.

8) Did you know that the philosopher, Paul Ricoeur , wrote about the Freedom of Will and the about The Symbolism of Evil?

VI. 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].

Robert King Merton: (1910-2003) born in Philadelphia on the fourth of July as Meyer Robert Schkolnick to newly immigrated Russian-Jewish parents. Merton changed his name as an amateur magician to this stage name by which he came to be known during his scholarly career. One of the most celebrated sociologists in the mid to late 20th century *** he amassed awards and honorary degrees from around the world *** but it was his son, Robert C. Merton, who won the Nobel Prize in economics in 1997.
Merton eschewed the grand theory approach of one of his mentors and advisors, Talcott Parsons, in favour of a theory of the middle range, under the influence of his colleague, Paul Lazarsfeld, at the Bureau of Applied Research at Columbia University of which Merton was associate director. In addition to middle range sociological theory, Merton was known as an
