Dear Colleagues,
given the charged global political atmosphere whether in Ukraine, where geography is destiny, Boston and it’s marathon remembrances, fatal shootings at Fort Hood or stabbings at high schools, a lost airplane seems to be losing significance and people are almost afraid to breathe the air or drink the water. To get away from from all the bad news, the international psychoanalytic website takes a more contemplative and philosophical approach and will hopefully give you some relief. ( Of course only after you have changed your passwords on all the contaminated sites!)
My choices this week are:
1) As always, I am still “into books”. David Hirsh’s ( David Hirsh is a Lecturer in Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London) excellent review of REBELS AGAINST ZION gives a bird’s eye view of the breadth of a book attempting to discuss in detail the several ways in which the world tried to deal with antisemitism in the first half of the 20th century – all of which failed.

2) If you were to write a book, would you write a biography? Read Adam Thirlwell’s review of Roth Unbound by Claudia Roth Pierpont.

3) Do ethical breaches of Health Professionals in CIA Torture Program and views (? racial) whites views on capital punishment represent man’s inhumanity to man, legal venues to express sadism *** Please leave your thoughts on the website.

4) To ponder the increasing mental health crisis in the country,please read the articles on the “New Face of Heroin” and on the military’s mental health system in the GENERAL NEWS.

VI. 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].

XXXV. POETRY MONDAY:
Photo: Howard Stein
Happy Poetry Month, everyone! You who are readers of this column probably agree that every month should be poetry month, but we have to take whatever we can get. Perhaps those of you who don***t always buy poetry books will think about a visit to your local independent bookstore, if you***re lucky enough to still have one, to look at the various slim new volumes on display as well as the collected and new / selected works of your old favorites. If you do have a poetry library of your own, you might want to note the publishers*** names and then go online to look for their web pages and order directly from them. This can be our way of celebrating what many of us cannot live without.
Our featured poet this month is Howard Stein, who is Poet Laureate of the High Plains Society for Applied Anthropology. He is a psychoanalytic, medical, organizational, and applied anthropologist, as well as a psychohistorian and organizational consultant *** all of which disciplines inform and inspire ***.
