Analysts on the Front Lines: Four WW-II Veterans Recall their Combat Experience (Part 1)
By Categories: Audio/Video, NYPSI Centenary 1911-2011

On December 5, 1996, four World-War II combat veterans who are also psychoanalysts at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute got together for a very special Veteran’s Day presentation. Each of the four shared stories of their actual combat experience on the front lines during Worls War II. In these insightful memoirs, many personal, heroic, and painful memories were shared with the audience, and a fascinating and engaging Q & A session followed the program. The four analysts involved were M.Donald Coleman (also moderator), Howard Schlossman, Murray Nadelman, and Eugene Kaplan. This program captures some truly historic memories and is quite moving. (This post is part 1 of a 2 part series with Eugene Kaplan’s presentation and the question-and-answer session which follows appearing in a later post.)

Discussion of W.I. Grossman’s and D.M. Kaplan’s: Three Commentaries on Gender in Freud’s Thought …
By Categories: Audio/Video, NYPSI Centenary 1911-2011

February 10, 1987. Discussion of William I. Grossman and Donald M. Kaplan’s: “Three Commentaries on Gender in Freud’s Thought: A Prologue on the Psychoanalytic Theory of Sexuality” at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute.

Dr. Grossman and Dr. Kaplan presented a prologue to [their] paper . . . on sexuality as exemplified by female sexuality in psychoanalytic thought. They believe that being aware of Freud’s three ways of talking about sex and gender—his “three commentaries”—is a helpful prelude to understanding his ideas. With respect to female psychology, some of Freud’s ideas were not technical. That is, the justification for what he wrote had nothing to do with the psychoanalytic method. His observations of allegedly female and male traits are examples of this, and form what the authors call the first commentary. In a psychoanalytic perspective, a trait is only of preliminary interest, because a trait fails to convey anything dynamic that is of differing significance . . . (1989). from the abstract in Psychoanalytic Quarterly, 58:179-180.

The full article is published in the book the book: Fantasy, Myth and Reality. Essays in Honor of Jacob A. Arlow Edited by H.P. Blum, Y. Kramer, A.K. Richards and A.D. Richards. Madison, CT: International Universities Press. 1988. pp. 538.
