Dear Colleagues,
Coming out of the heat wave in the Northeast, this may be slightly less coherent post on my part but the IPA congress approaches I will do my best to present you with a logical overview his week, as I may not be able to send you this post for the next two weeks due to travel plans and my Congress and other obligations in Prague.
My choices this week on the international psychoanalytic website begin with a reminder to all of you who are going to the IPA Congress to read the instructions in the Announcement Category about registration when you arrive in Prague.
1) Please read the IPA Congress Bulletin
Click Here to Read This Article2) Given this summer’s Congress, there is emphasis on Prague and Freud’s escape to London.
a)If time permits, do try to watch the video in the old synagogue in Prague. It now looks renovated inside and ever so different from the dungeon like dark and demolished place that my mother took me to as a child in 1945 – it was a very frightening place to walk into. Resilience wins.
