A Power Structure Analysis of Four Psychoanalytic Institutes by David James Fisher, Ph.D

UnFreeAssociations

by N. Szajnberg, MD, Managing Editor

Jimmy Fisher, a cultural historian and psychoanalyst based in L.A reviews Kirsner’s book, titled “Unfree Associations” and subtitled “Inside Psychoanalytic Institutes. ”  He writes as an insider from L.A.

WhenTheoriesTouchEllman

Brief review in Oxford Journal of New Books by Dr. Graeme Pedlingham, University of Sussex This follows a section where he reviewed books that dealt with previous analysts,–Bion for example

2. New Explorations in Psychoanalysis: Different Directions Whilst I have made here a distinction between two strands of work published this year based upon their object of discussion, in this section focusing upon works that explore new directions within psychoanalytic discourses, its dissociation from the preceding section is very far from a decisive one.
