Arnold Richards

It’s no secret – and certainly not to the readers of these pages – that psychoanalysts are deeply interested in poetry.

Freud’s niece, nee Marta , children’s book illustrator, Tom Seidmann-Freud (she took a man’s name – read about the reason) whose surreal, whimsical art was saved by her Continue reading Family histories, IBM in WWII, art and music and the brain from Sasha Rolde on InternationalPsychoanalysis.net
