Dear Colleagues,
As I send you this week’s post on the international psychoanalytic website, I am glad that on the eve of the first New England northeaster of the season, you will all have the chance to give your time to these interesting articles. I hesitate to say that the world events seem to have calmed down , except of course for the death of Nelson Mandela and Jim Hall. Possibly it is the season when humanity Islows down its rapid race of constructiveness vs. destructiveness.
As usual I will try not to repeat previous postings, and give you my choices followed by the entire index.
