Dear Colleagues,
I have been scanning the press and the media for newsworthy items, but it seems that the mass shootings, the disappearing airplanes and the police brutality stories are so ubiquitous that they are beginning to feel like the new ***normal***. My vote on that is that we cannot let that happen. With that in mind the international psychoanalytic website is brimming with items of interest to both psychoanalysts, as well as the larger mental health community and the public.
As usual, I will mention my choices followed by the table of contents.
1) Elise Snyder tries to have some humor about it, the fact is that CAPA is in dire need of supervisors. If you have any time to do this, please call her.
