Dear Colleagues,

This week posts on the international psychoanalytic website are in my opinion particularly unorthodox – by which I mean they address topics that we as analysts might never have thought about in terms of psychodynamics. I will list those that caught my eye first, followed by the entire menu. Also, to refresh your memory, I have reposted all of this week’s announcements, even though some may have been there in prior weeks.

1) As an example of a “surprise” topic, I direct you to the “Brief History of the To-Do List. Did you know that the unconscious is so involved?

Dear Colleagues,

In a slightly calmer climate the international psychoanalysis website still provides us with stimulating and exciting material ranging from more on the Dangerous Method to mental health in Africa. As always I list those that caught my interest first, followed by the entire list:

1) For those of us who are struggling with the fact that there are not enough psychiatrists and mental health professionals in the USA to take care of our mentally ill, there is a sobering post regarding the state of mental health in Africa, as described by a sole Kenyan psychiatrist, speaking about the stigma in a ***traumatized continent***.
