Camus, Heideggeer, Kafka, Therapy vs.drugs, Greece & Germany, Mourning from Sasha Rolde
By Categories: Announcements

Dear Colleagues:

Summer has arrived and “living is easy” (is it?). While we wait to see what repercussions there will be from Greece’s financial crisis, from the various talks about nuclear proliferation, the taking down of the Confederate flag, talks about gun control, and of course what will Donald Trump say next, I am perusing the international psychoanalytic website and hope to find comments in the posts on present day socioeconomic world and domestic climate to share with all of you.

As usual, I am listing my own choices first, followed by the Table of Contents. Please note that I am not listing previously mentioned posts so do browse through the website and read/comment on whatever you are interested in.

Here are my recommendations:

1) I really enjoyed Paul Levy’s comments “It’s not ethical to review works by friends, so I***ll simply praise some” in the ART Category: Please read:

2) Please read and view Joseph E. Stiglitz’s interesting points on both Greece and Germany: ‘The U.S. Must Save Greece.” He gives some thoughtful psychological analysis of the issues.

Consciousness, human & world history, sociology, deviance, neuroscience & astronomy from Sasha Rolde
By Categories: Announcements

Dear Colleagues:

With apologies for having skipped a week due to attendance at the APsaA meetings in San Franciso, I return to report to you about the menu of the international psychoanalytic website. After the most memorable turn of events at the APsaA, and the not so favorable status quo in global politics, it is refreshing to read the multifaceted posts that I/we missed the last 2 weeks.

As usual I will list the posts that stood out for me, followed by a list of the others.

My choices were:

1) Elio Frattaroli’s The Psychoanalytic Process: Becoming Conscious of Becoming Conscious Continue reading Consciousness, human & world history, sociology, deviance, neuroscience & astronomy from Sasha Rolde

Oliver Sacks, the 3 Freud generations, changing psychoanalysis from Sasha Rolde
By Categories: Announcements

Dear colleagues,

Considering global warming and the fact that not all of the world has had weather as nice as the northeast of the USA, I write somewhat sheepishly, hoping that you all had enjoyed your summer vacations and also that our website has contributed positively to your summer reading. With the Syrian issue and refugee crisis in Europe, and our continuing episodes of killing young black men and policemen, I struggle to comprehend man***s insistence on violence and hope to read some of your comments on the international psychoanalytic website this week. As usual, I will list my own choices followed by the menu of all the categories.
I focused on the following;

1 ) I suggest that you check out the events listed at Austen Riggs and at IPTAR this fall.

Drawing: A Study in Meaningful Coincidence
Four people, who are otherwise unconnected, come together and begin to interact in ways that appear to be based on a common traumatic past. Unknown to each other, three of them are recovering from the suicide of a loved one. The story of their interactions raises the question about what (other than chance) could draw them together. Themes of Continue reading Events at CMPS
