Dear Colleagues,
Although the summer weather invites outdoor activities, I hope that the long July 4th weekend will afford an opportunity for you ( especially given the stormy weather today) to read the posts on the international psychoanalytic website. There is an unusual number of entries this week and I had a difficult time choosing a some over others but as usual, I have picked out a few posts that interested me and have listed them below, followed by the entire list of contents. I continue to be amazed at the relevance of the posts to the current world political and social situation. Our profession gives us a perspective that we need to spread into society to have an impact.
My choices:
1) I am struck by the upcoming announcement: Totem and Taboo After Auschwitz with Betty Fuks at Aprss-Coup’ The theme is as relevant today as it was then; try to attend.

2) As we are curious about our past and what makes us be who we are, listening and reading the post about the Neaderthal and his DNA in all of us is a must.

Apr**s-Coup PSYCHOANALYTIC ASSOCIATION
Saturday, June 28, 2014
10:30 am *** 2:00 pm
DISAVOWAL AND CONSTRUCTIONS IN ANALYSIS, Workshop
BETTY FUKS
Freud used the term Verleugnung, disavowal, in various texts, but defined it in the 1920s as a concept representing a specific psychic mechanism.

SUGGESTED READINGS: Freud, ***Fetishism*** (1927), ***Constructions in Analysis***(1937), Moses and Monotheism (1939).
Betty Fuks is a psychoanalyst practicing in Rio de Janeiro. She teaches in the School of Communications at the Universidade Federal de Rio de Janeiro (ED/UFRJ). The author of numerous articles on psychoanalysis, her books include Freud e a cultura and Freud e a judeidade, published in English as Freud and the Invention of Jewishness.
MEETING PLACE: The School of Visual Arts, 136 West 21st Street (between Sixth and Seventh Avenues), New York City. Please ask at the front desk for the room number.
