Dear Colleagues:
It is the beginning of the holiday season and possibly we will all have either more time or less time to read, but I hope that you will go to the international psychoanalytic website this week as the posts are all relevant to us as analysts call for comments from you.
My usual list of choices will be followed by the entire list of contents. Enjoy.
My choices this week are:
1) Please read about the compassionate and fascinating announcement about the “Funding Request for Research Proposal: The tragedy of 9/11 women who were pregnant and widowed and their infants”

2) Please look at and consider ordering the published IP Books. Each is a treasure.

Sebastian Gorlewsky from the Queen’s Univ.Journal wrote a sincere and inspiring article ” Mental Health Illness Is Not a Choice” bringing out both prejudice and neuroscience evidence in a very moving and personal way.
