Dear colleagues,
The numerous posts on the international psychoanalytic website reflect the rapid societal changes as well as the accelerated growth and progress in our profession keeping up with the times. To name but a few, as usual, I will mention my choices, followed by the total list of contents for this week.
1) Although I had suggested a couple of weeks ago that you read about the CITY WITHIN A CITY_ by Basia Temkin-Berman, I urge you this time to listen to the live recording of the NY book launch on March 2, 2012.

2) Another book – ‘Memory, Trauma, and History’ by Michael Roth is a must for psychoanalysts – please read the lengthy excerpt on the website.
3) Discussions on the need for, place for and controversy around efficacy of psychoanalysis in
current health care are topics on the mind of all reading these posts. Please respond on the website.

4) Analysts well versed in other disciplines are in my opinion rather rare. Hence Adam Phillips caught my eye. “On first meeting Adam Phillips, you might not think that he was a psychoanalyst. His office in Notting Hill is filled with books on every wall and in stacks on the floor. But instead of therapeutic manuals, you will find volumes of poetry by J.H. Prynne, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Geoffrey Hill. The rest is in the POETRY Category

5) The discerning article about Eric Kandel infinitely broadens the outreach of research and psychoanalytic thinking in areas where one would hardly expect is – as in this case in art appreciation and history. Please read!

IX. Dancing in the Dark: Intuition as a Guiding Light
Dallas Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology
Impasse in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis
Spring Workshop*: Jane Hall, LCSW Dancing in the Dark: Intuition as a Guiding Light _Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst at the New York Freudian Society; a founder of The New York School for Psychotherapy Labels such as negative therapeutic reaction or impasse (a deadlock with no anticipated progress) can box us in. Ms. Hall invites us to explore what makes the therapist resort to these labels. Using case material she will revisit the repetition compulsion and the attachment to abuse that often exhaust the dyad. Her premise is that benevolent curiosity, hopefulness, caritas, and patience are what keep us going. She will remind us that change, no matter how longed for, means loss: loss of early objects, reliable (though often crippling) defenses, and even one’s sense of self. What often seem like impasses can be seen as calls for help to face powerful fears of separation. Although our work seeks to cast light we must also be comfortable dancing in the dark. Case Presentation: To Be Announced
Levine, H. (2010). Creating analysts; creating analytic patients, International Journal of Psychoanalysis, 91, 1385-1404.
*The Spring Workshop is co-sponsored by DSPP, the Dallas
Psychoanalytic Center, and the Dallas Society for Psychoanalytic Social Work.

City Within a City was the secret diary written in Polish in 1944 when Basia (Batya) and her husband Adolf-Abraham Berman, lived on the Aryan side of Warsaw-the part designated by the Nazis for Polish Christians only-and led a secret network helping thousands of Jews to hide and survive.
“I would like to describe this state within a state, or rather, a city within a city, this most underground of all underground communities, whose members met with each other, worked and talked in the midst of a population which didn’t suspect anything; where every street, every coffee shop, every tram stop called to mind dozens of unique adventures. Every name was false, every word that was uttered carried a double meaning, and every telephone conversation was more encrypted than the secret diplomatic documents of embassies.”_-Basia Berman This unique and historically important book may be purchased at our bookstore by _clicking here: City Within a Cityor atwww.IPBooks.net.
