The man with the foolish grin
is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he’s just a fool
And he never gives an answer

When the Body Speaks Roundtable and Open House at IPTAR

Sunday Salon at IPTAR: Institute for Psychoanalytic Training & Research
“When the Body Speaks….” The Body in the Psychoanalytic Encounter
When unconscious fantasies, dynamics, object relations are ‘spoken’ through the body –from movement and gesture, to psychosomatic illness, disordered eating, conversion symptoms, through countertransference and projective identification — how can the ‘talking cure’ relieve psychosomatic suffering and create new experiences of embodiment?

Join the conversation. Sunday March 19, 2017, Roundtable 2:00-4:00, Open House 4:00-5:00
IPTAR: 1651 Third Ave. #205 (92nd and Third Ave.)

POETRY MONDAY: February 6, 2017

Betty Lies

No, she doesn’t. It’s pronounced Lees, in case you wondered, and she’s one of the most truthful poets I know. Full disclosure: I’ve known and admired Betty Lies as a poet, educator and colleague for many years and in fact even blurbed one of her books, The Day After I Drowned (Cherry Grove Collections, 2010). I had the occasion to re-read it recently, and it resonated more strongly than ever. This is what poetry does for us – one of the many things it
does. For me, right now, having suffered a painful loss, her poems were as good as a grief support group.
