Dear Colleagues,
It is perhaps fitting that on a day that the whole world mourns the passing of Nelson Mandela, we should be reading the posts on our international psychoanalytic website. Clearly we are trying to reach the whole world and, though this is not explicitly stated in the “goals” of psychoanalysis, we are obviously trying to make the world a better more mature, accepting, egalitarian place in the true humanistic sense. Curiously, as the holidays approach as well it occurs to me that even in wartime, both sides generally ceasefire on Christmas Day.
Before I list my choices for this week I would like to remind you to please consider a donation to InternationalPsychoanalysis.net. Though it is a labor of love on everyone’s part, there are still costs and labor associated with it.
Note that I have tried not to repeat some of the Announcements post. For me the Video/Audio, Book & Movies Categories have it this week. My choices are:
1) Although this posting comes too late, I hope some of you attended what was most likely a very stimulating evening today: ” Poetry and Savoir-faire with Daniel Heller-Roazen at Apr*s-Coup PSYCHOANALYTIC ASSOCIATION.

March 12-15, 2015 Durham, North Carolina
CALL FOR PAPERS Deadline March 15, 2014
The Art of Listening: Psychoanalytic Transformations
As contemporary psychotherapy has become inundated with approaches offering a quick fix, the act of listening, the *art of listening* in healing psychic pain has lost its once exalted status. Psychoanalytic clinicians believe that deep and sustained transformations occur in an environment in which the individual feels both seen and heard. In this conference, we wish to emphasize that

XI. Donations to InternationalPsychoanalysis.net
Internationanalpsychoanalysis.net has flourished in a remarkable way since it was launched in January 2007. It has become both an archive and a news source.
One of the serendipitous outgrowths of its presence and has been that we have even more reasons to experience ourselves as a community with a history, elders, anniversaries, anecdotes, a paper trail, photos and relics of our founders * and evidence of our on-going growth and adaptation to a very changed therapeutic world.
But the growth has outpaced the cottage and one computer.
Are you able to contribute to the cost of our widening scope?
We will use contributions to internationalpsychoanalysis.net to scan and transcribe papers, search archives, find photographs format documents and upload recordings and videos. It is labor intensive and for me a labor of love [but for the helpers, indeed, work].
