Dear colleagues,
as the uncertainty in our small cosmos as well as the larger world polities continues into this wee, there is comfort in the fact that our international psychoanalytic website will record all the nuances of both universes and keep us informed. With that end in mind, I have chosen a few of the posts to underscore below but urge youth glance at all.
My choices this week are:
1) If you are as fond of Diego Rivera as I am, or wonder why one would be, please read and look at his murals at the Detroit Institute of Art.

2) Listening to Heinz Kohut’s reflections on empathy is a forever treat.

3) As always, books enrich our lives – please note the excellent review of summer readings as well as Life Lessons from..Bergson, Byron, Freud….etc.

5) The 2 papers by J.Todd Dean, M.D. and Henry Friedman, M.D. are a “must read: for their admonition regarding outcomes in analysis and the importance of making a human “connection”.
