Dear Colleagues,
This posting is somewhat out or the regular weekend time frame as it is one of 2 messages that I am sending you for 3 weeks of post on the international psychoanalysis website. I will email you the second on the weekend of June 13, after the APsaA meetings in Chicago. Due to the large volume, I had a difficult time picking my favorites, as there were so many but am listing a few and hope that you will browse through the site and chose more.
My choices this week dovetail with current happenings, as always, so I begin with:
1) The developmental complexities suggested by in-depth account of the analytic treatment of an adult transgender analysand are astounding when we consider traditional view of the body in psychoanalysis – the presentaiton by Avgi Saketopoulou, PsyD at the Culture Center in NYC in October should prove to be eye opening and a must to attend.

2) Also in the Announcements category, neuropsychoanalysis has a prominent place in a couple of posts.

3) As most of my analytic career has been devoted to treating late adolescents, the Review of The Year of Durocher by Theodore Jacobs has been of particular interest to me. I recommend the book highly.

4) Many years ago I attended an International Psychohistorical Association meeting in Oxford, England. It was one of the best meetings I had ever attended. Though it conflicts with the APsaA meeting this week, if you are not in Chicago and are in NYC, give it a try.

5) The Audio/Video category has several timely posts, I suggest you listen to all – they include
a) Dr.A. Richard’s talk on Countertransference in China,

6) As I have, please review your knowledge and views on Spinoza by reading Steven Nadler’s “Judging Spinoz”a in the Editorials category.

7) If you thought that Freud view of women was chauvinistic – read Arlene Richards’ paper on Women and Psychoanalysis and see Freud the “equal opportunity feminist”.

VII. Review of The Year of Durocher by Theodore Jacobs
If you have not seen Lawrence Levinson***s superb review of the fun coming of age novel by Theodore Jacobs, here are some quotes from that review. The book can be obtained on request from IPBooks.net:
The Year of Durocher is a moving, observant, funny***and fun***novel. But like all good, serious fiction, the entertainment is in the service of a larger aim.
Here that aim is to review the mind of the late adolescent on the cusp of adulthood opening up to the world and to himself. Jacobs is masterful at portraying adolescents busily contending with one another, their sexual desire fired by ramped up hormones, their aggression mobilized by pressing narcissistic issues, their triadic relationships fueled by the revival of Oedipal passions, while simultaneously busily renouncing their parents in the service of separating and gaining autonomy.

X. 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]. ***..

On Inaugural Poetry
Few of us who were alive and watching then will forget Robert Frost at John F. Kennedy***s inauguration in 1961. There were the almost heartbreaking moments as he struggled in bright sunlight to read the text of the poem he had composed for the occasion and then abandoned it and recited from memory a Kennedy favorite, ***The Gift Outright,*** changing a line at the end to make it, as he said, ***more hopeful.*** It was thrilling not only to see and hear the great Frost himself but to realize that poetry had become part of our national celebration.
