Children’s Literature, resiliency, neuroscience & mental illness on IP.net from Sasha Rolde

Dear Colleagues,

As we anticipate the spring meeting of APsaA in Washington as well as the soon to happen IPA Congress in historic Prague, and watch in wonder the ever changing face of the weather and of world politics, it is no surprise that the international psychoanalytic website reflects the changing tide in psychiatry and psychoanalysis. As usual I will direct you to some posts that caught my attention and urge you to find those of interest to you once you are on the website.

My choices this week:

Drugs and talk therapy, memory, aging, Prague from Sasha Rolde on IP.net

Dear Colleagues,

As I read through this week’s international psychoanalytic website, it became abundantly clear to me that that the debate pro and con “talk therapy”  is   heating up with several posts comparing, contrasting, and judging different types of therapy and pharmacotherapy. I find this curious in light of the fact that whenever there is a human disaster of any sort in this country – cause by man ( vis Newtown, Boston Marathon or consequences of bullying) or nature (tsunami, tornados, earth quakes) the mental health  professionals are called upon to provide “talk therapy”. the ambivalence in the population yearning for human connection vs. a quick fix with a drug is mind boggling.
