Considerations of George Makari’s Revolution in Mind by David James Fisher
Makari and Fisher: Broadening and Deepening our Discipline
N. Szajnberg, MD, Managing Editor
After four year’s silence following publication of his landmark “Revolution in Mind,” George Makari responds to Fisher’s incisive review. Makari’s book takes its place with Ellenberger’s history of the unconscious and the works by Peter Gay and Sander Gilman. Today, Makari focuses on the “professionalization” of psychoanalysis beginning in the 1920’s.
Both Makari and Fisher share concerns about the state of our discipline as a professional organization, both the level of discussion, and concern that we move forward rather than repeat the “sins” of our forefathers (and foremothers, such as Ms. Freud and Ms. Klein). Frattarolli in an earlier piece, wrote about the conflict inherent in psychoanalysis, a playing-out of Freud’s ambivalence about orthodoxy and heresy. In a presentation of her new book, The Life and Death of Psychoanalysis, Jamieson Webster argues that such life-death struggles and pessimism may be inherent in the nature of our discipline. (The author will be interviewed by Frank Baudry at NYPSI Tuesday evening, February 27.)
The function of IP.net in part is to enliven thoughtful discussion. Makari’s and Fisher’s essays about a discipline for which they are both concerned captures this atmosphere. Please join in.

Hamlet & Love, Prejudice, alonneness and autism on International Psychoanalysis.net from Sasha Rolde
Dear colleagues,
As winter keeps us more or less indoors despite the mild weather on the east coast, the international psychoanalytic website provides us with an opportunity to read numerous posts this week worthy of our attention. The horizon of psychoanalysis is widening despite predictions of biological psychiatry taking over and our posts are an increasing testimony to that effect. Theater, film, and news articles more and more address psychological roots of many societal problems. This week I will again begin with a list of few that I picked out as stand outs in this area, followed by the usual list.
I have omitted some announcements which I had listed in previous weeks, but please make sure that you glance at them if you have the opportunity to attend any of them.
The following are my choices.
1) The film ***A Dangerous Method*** has brought the public***s attention to Jung and Freud.
Writer Kate Ferguson on the Ham and High website has taken advantage of this to publish a well written history of the London Hampstead Clinic started by Anna Freud.
