2) Did you ever feel that way: EVERYONE has heard of the Peter Principle: Managers rise to the level of their incompetence. Today, however, a whole class of hyper-competent Americans will never find their level of incompetence. Instead, they will suffer a similar principle in which they rise to their level of misery.
Here’s how it works: Ambitious, hard-working, well-trained professionals are lifted by superiors to levels of increasing prestige and responsibility. This is fun and exciting, until it isn’t. People generally have a “bliss zone,” a window of creative work and responsibility to match their skills and passions. But then the problems start.

Save the Date: APM Symposium ***On The Body*** May 6-7, 2016
At the dawning of psychoanalysis in Freud***s project and throughout his writings, the intertwining of body and psyche was elemental but Since Freud, the body has been progressively undertheo-rized. The APM Symposium ***On the Body*** addresses the imperative to bring the body back to center stage and to consider the challenges it poses to our current ways of understanding our pa-tients. Does the contemporary ideology of the body, an ideology of an omnipotent mind that transcends the limits of the body, produce different kind of patients from those of the times of Freud? How do we think of hysteria today and of the psychosomatic symptoms that we are en-countering more ******

IX. Coming Soon from IPBooks: Saving Beauty by Harvey Kaplan lil’SAVINGBEAUTYFRONTCOVER(2)
A Memoir of Love, Healing of Multiple Sclerosis by Harvey Kaplan from IPBooks.net. This book is a joint imprint from Contemporary Freudian Society and IPBooks.
About Saving Beauty:
Dr. Kaplan***s book is about his personal odyssey with his wife***s multiple sclerosis, but it is more than that. It is about the way love can and must change when an event of that enormity befalls a relationship. No one can predict when or if such a thing will happen to them. No one can truly imagine how they will handle it if it does. People have a consuming interest in these stories, and that makes the general public a natural audience for this book.

The international conference, Modernism, Psychoanalysis and the Embodied Mind, will engage an interdisciplinary network of scholars and practitioners who bring the radical insights of modernist literature, as well as performance and the visual arts, into dialogue with clinical practice in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, psychiatry, neuropsychology, and the mental healthcare offered at the end of life. Presentations will focus on the resources modernism offers for creatively understanding the experiences of body and mind that form the core material of the psychoanalytic encounter, but are poorly served by realist models of self.
