Summary of paper delivered at the meetings of the APsaA in Atlanta, June 20, 2008
In my talk I described the apocalyptic mindset that underlies the current global “war on terror” (GWOT). The GWOT emerged out of a radical shift in America’s relation to the world after 9/11. The GWOT, as a self-proclaimed fight against evil, has served as the ideological basis for the actual wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The GWOT also reverses centuries of our cautious posture to the world, projecting power in ways not seen since the Roman Empire. This new stance alters the principles established by the framers of the constitution, and early presidents, particularly George Washington, John Quincy Adams, James Monroe, and Abraham Lincoln.

“Off the Couch, Back on its Feet” by Matthew Reisz from the London Times
Off the couch, back on its feet
12 June 2008 Times Higher Education
By Matthew Reisz
Psychoanalysis may have little place in university psychology departments, but it is flourishing within the arts and humanities. Matthew Reisz reports on the debates – and divisions – between academics and clinicians
The American Psychoanalytic Association recently set up a task force with an ambitious goal – to “reach and captivate the 10,000 best minds of the next generation with the power of psychoanalytic ideas”.
