Dear Colleagues,

Dear Colleagues:
At the end of the week, when I try to chose posts of interest to suggest to you, my usual composure was shattered by the “apocalyptic” events in Newtown, CT, – namely the shooting of 20 small children and 6 adults in an elementary school. Before I write my message to you, I therefore want to express my deepest sorrow and condolences to the families affected by these losses and to the the other students in that school as well as countless other children whose innocence was destroyed that day.
In the same vein, my personal choices and recommendations to you begin with this event: Continue reading Newtown, child empathy, Dave Brubeck and Pearl Harbour from Sasha Rolde on IP.Net

Dear Colleagues,
The international psychoanalysis website this week, as previously, reflects the world issues as well as informs us of current events and advances in our field. As previously, The Books and the Science News categories attracted me with especially interesting topics.
I will list some post that have caught my interest, avoid previously posted announcements and encourage you to peruse the rest of the post on the website.
1) An interesting program with Fred Bush presenting Ego Psychology in the Analytic Encounter at IPTAR is surely one not to miss. This meeting already happened, but is worth reading about.
