GOOD NEWS FROM CAPA
By Categories: China

There is lots of good news.

NEW FIRST YEAR CLASS: We have just accepted our new first year class; about 50 excellent people all of whom have had two interviews. Our reputation is growing rapidly. We have had applicants from many cities where we will not be able to have a class because there were not enough people (10-12) to have one. BUT, we are going to experiment with another audio-visual technology that—unlike Skype—may enable us to have one set of teachers teaching in several cities simultaneously.

SAN FRANCISCO MEETING OF THE ACADEMY OF PSYCHOANALYSIS: went very well with presentations about CAPA itself and also a focus on our work during the Earthquake (Participants: Cesar Alfonso, Allen Dyer, Ken Lee, Ubaldo Leli, Elise Snyder, Jeff Taxman). An edited version of the panel will appear on our Website.

IPA MEETING IN CHICAGO (July 27-August 1): We are trying to arrange a social event for CAPA members and those interested in working with CAPA. So, if you will be in Chicago, please send your name and when you will be there to our wonderful volunteer Sean Hsuan-Yi Lin

CHINA TOUR: October 16-November 1, 2009: those of you who attended the dim sum lunch in NYC at the APsaA meetings in January saw the brochure. We have 28 people who are going and a list of people who want to go next year. It is a wonderful. Remarkably inexpensive and should be mainly deductible. Contact elise.snyder@yale.edu

INSTRUCTORS: Of 72 teaching slots we have filled all but 6. We need the following teachers: (Teach on Skype, 10 classes per course, one hour and fifteen minutes per class, reading lists available with PDFs, and a $500 honorarium for each course)

Year 1, Theory 3 (Later Development Oedipus to Senility) Tuesday Evenings Spring
Year 2, Technique 1 (Resistance, defense regression etc) Thursday Mornings Fall
Continuous Case Seminars 15 sessions Spring & Fall Tuesday evenings

AS usual, we have long waiting lists for analysis and for psychotherapy.
