Hyper-Parenting, Hannah Arendt, Trauma, Simone de Beavoir, EMRs from Sasha Rolde on IP.net

Dear Colleagues:

To recover from the doldrums of reading about Ebola and the stock market, not to mention all the world political issues, I turned to our international website this week for solace – and found it. I hope that you will too. As usual, I will give you my personal choices, followed by the entire list. Enjoy.

My choices this week are:

1) In the event that you missed it, please read the note from Arlene Kramer Richards: COWAP Conference a Success

2) The ART category contains some fascinating pictures of the Cosmos and History through time – worth looking at!!

3) Also in ART – please read re pain & palliatives: examining the human condition.

“..University of San Diego hosted the book launch of Dr. Brian Clack.s,  “Love, Drugs, Art, Religion: The consolations of human existence.”  Clack, a philosophy professor at USD, published the book earlier this year and was able to speak to a standing-room only crowd of students and faculty regarding the main themes and topics in his book.

***The book is about the difficulties of the human condition, the pain and suffering of human life, and the strategies employed by humans to cope with the suffering,*** Clack said during the presentation. The burning question of how humans deal with life***s inevitable hardships was of particular interest to philosopher Sigmund Freud, who Clack largely credits as the inspiration for the book. ”

4) The Books Category will take you through a selection of Hannah Arendt Reflections on Violence, to curiosity, Trauma of Everyday Life, The Holocaust from different angles and more – all worth looking at!

5) It’s clearly a new world. We used to discuss this with parents in family therapy, it is now simply announced/taught in the NYT – I refer to “A Cure for Hyper-Parenting”.

6) The excellent article on Electronic Medical Records by Abigail Zuger in The New York Times only scratches the surface of the whole problem with EMRs.

6) Also in the General News category you might comment on the “public hysteria” re Ebola, give your thoughts on Midlife Crisis ( yes or no), wonder if Columbus was “secretly a Jew? and consider psychodynamic RX vs.CBT.

7) If you were of a certain generation, then Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre were some of your ego ideals. It is a pleasure to see her celebrated to this day. See Philosophy Thursday:

I. A Note from Arlene Kramer Richards: COWAP Conference a Success
COWAP Myths of the Mighty Woman Brochure
On October 11 & 12, 2014 in New York City COWAP presented a conference on Myths of Mighty Women organized by Lucille Spira and Arlene Kramer Richards. Over seventy people attended. Many of them were students at the American Institute of Psychoanalysis. That Institute hosted the conference and was generous in providing back-up staff and a lovely auditorium.

Gisella Galdi of AIP presented a paper on Karen Horney who was the founder of that institute and a woman of valor who spoke her own mind confronting Freud with an alternative view of female psychology that stands today as more true than the phallocentric idea of female development.

XLVI. INTRODUCING LACAN: ON THE THREE REGISTERS at Apr**s-Coup
Apr**s-Coup PSYCHOANALYTIC ASSOCIATION
Wednesday, October 22, 2014
8:00 pm *** 9:30 pm
INTRODUCING LACAN: ON THE THREE REGISTERS, Seminar

LILLIAN FERRARI, DAVID LICHTENSTEIN, PAOLA MIELI, ADRIANA PASSINI, MARK STAFFORD, MARTIN WINN
This seminar, which requires prior familiarity with Freud***s basic texts, is intended as an introduction to
Jacques Lacan***s theory of the Real, the Symbolic, and the Imaginary as structuring human subjectivity.
Lacan***s conceptualization of these registers is an essential tool for understanding both the impact of Freud***s
Copernican revolution on 20th-century thought and the direction of treatment in psychoanalysis. Our
goal is to show how all three registers are operative in these central psychoanalytic concepts: the subject of language, the mirror stage, the unconscious, angst, repetition, and the drives.
MEETING SCHEDULE: The seminar will be held from 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm on the following Wednesdays: October 8 & 22, November 19, December 10, January 14, February 4 & 25, March 18, April 8 & 29, May 20, June 10. MEETING PLACE: The School of Visual Arts, 136 West 21st Street (between 6th and 7th Avenues), New York City. Please ask at the front desk for the room number.
ATTENDANCE FEE: The seminar is open to everyone, and there is no fee.
REGISTRATION: For information, please call Martin Winn at (212) 677-1147 or check our website at http://www.apres-coup.org/
