Dear Colleagues,
Not only does human violence continue to mar this summer, but the nature has joined in the destruction with the Ebola virus in Africa. To escape from what seem just inescapable bad news, our international psychoanalytic website invites you to some relaxation – perhaps in the Berkshires (see my #1) suggestion) in addition to reading the posts some of which are showing echoes of past and current combats. As always I list some of my choices but hope that you will gravitate to those of interest to you.
My suggestions this week are:
1) Irene Willis’s Poetry Reading in West Stockbridge should be delightful if you can get to it.

2) Make sure that you go to the “Virtual Psychoanalytic Museum website”!! accessible in the Announcements Category.

3) The Book Reviews cover history from “the Train to Warsaw” to a newly published book on “Psychoanalytic Aspects of Assisted Reproductive Technology”. All should be read.

III. Watch for the Grand Opening Fall, 2014
We have built the Virtual Psychoanalytic Museum and organized exhibitions to show the dynamism of psychoanalysis in a new way. Three galleries will be presented: Time and Space, curated by Batya Monder with Nancy R. Goodman; The Body, curated by Paula L. Ellman, and The Film Gallery featuring, ***Lars and the Real Girl*** (a story of attachment) curated by Marilyn B. Meyers. Our webmaster is Devra Hall Levy. There are many talented and wise contributors to the exhibitions in each gallery, stay tuned.
Arnold Richards is the publisher and Nancy Goodman is the museum director.
Like any museum you enter each gallery, one at a time, immersing yourself in the theme being presented. We use multi-media exhibitions and will learn to use more as we develop the museum.
