Picasso, Thoreau, to grieve or repress from Sasha Rolde on InternationalPsychoanalysis.net

Dear Colleagues:

Violence, weather, discord and politics are unrelentingly present and continuing to plague us. The posts this week reflect all, including the gloominess of the weather- at least in the US northeast, but also there are glimmers of the human potential and accomplishments of many, which I hope you will also view and read.

Again, my choices for this week will be followed by the entire list of contents below.

1) there is a multitude of announcements for excellent programs in the coming few weeks. Please make sure that you see them and go to some of them
Click Here to Read the Announcements Category

2) Did you know that Picasso had a granddaughter, Marina, who inherited over 300 of his works and is in the process of selling them to fund her charity work? The interesting psychodynamics of her life are worth reading about.

Please look in the ART section:

3) Did Europe not grieve the Holocaust? This comment made me wonder whether the fact that people/countries so often do not learn from history and repeat the same events and acts has to do with the inability to grieve – certainly an issue for many of our patients. Please view the video:

4) Please contrast #3) with “Should American Jews Stop Obsessing Over the Holocaust?”
Please comment!
5) In the books category “RED NOTICE A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man’s Fight for Justice” captured my interest.

6) Did you know about Germany’s black children?

7) and then there is Henry David Thoreau, author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian and leading transcendentalist. How close can you get to being a psychoanalyst?
