Positive and negative aspects of man’s enormous intellectual potential from Sasha Rolde on InternationalPsychoanalysis.net

Dear Colleagues,

Although the posts are fewer in number, it seems that the international psychoanalytic website is nonetheless very dense this week due to the intense content of the posts.  The are either exhilaratingly exciting and hopeful or in fact filled overflowing with human suffering. Nonetheless, they are interesting to all and should be read with your mind on sharing your opinion about them.  They make for intense summer reading. As Dr.Szajnberg aptly encourages, please  “dive in”.

My choices this week:

1) the excitement of the CURIOSITY landing on Mars is unprecedented and should be enjoyed as a supreme example of man’s ability  to achieve a positive accomplishment rather than wage war.

Violence: the Olympics, Aurora, Penn State & fairytales from Sasha Rolde on InternationalPsychoanalsyis.net

 Dear Colleagues,

While some of us try to take time out to relax by seaside, lake side or pool side and enjoy midsummer’s nature despite the changing climate, the psychoanalytic website continues to be a source of information about the latest scientific, medical, political and financial events subject to psychoanalytic scrutiny. Though seemingly tranquil, the weather is unpredictable and the Olympic games remind us of previous ones. The website picks up these themes and others.

There are many posts this week and though I list quite a few, please also glance at the last two “Uncategorized” posts on physically and emotionally distressed children.

My choices this week are as follows:

1) Congratulations are due again to Elise Snyder who is the recipient of the coveted Sigmund Freud Award. Continue reading Violence: the Olympics, Aurora, Penn State & fairytales from Sasha Rolde on InternationalPsychoanalsyis.net
