Matte Blanco’s  100 Birth Anniversary

The Logic of the System Ucs

Ignacio Matte Blanco (October 3, 1908 – January 11, 1995) was an eminent Chilean psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.  Born in Santiago, Chile, Matte Blanco was trained in psychiatry and psychoanalysis in London in mid-thirties. He was professor of Psychiatry at the University of Santiago, Chile, and founder of the Chilean Psychoanalytic Society. He moved to Italy in 1966, working and teaching in Rome as Training and Supervising Analyst of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society. He focused his research on the Unconscious’s logic and the relation between feeling and thinking.  His most important books are The Unconscious as Infinite Sets (London, Karnac, 1975) and  Thinking, Feeling and Being (London, Routledge, 1988).

Skype communications

Lest anyone be disturbed by the article about Skype in today’s NY Times. We have known since we began that Skype text messages are not secure. Nor for that matter are Skype
computer-to-telephone communications).

We advise our Chinese colleagues NOT to use Skype text messages (Chat function). Our Chinese colleagues are often amused by our worries. As far as we can tell the issue is whether or not someone is a “person of interest”.

We are assured by our security people that Skype computer -to computer communications are secure.

For those of you who are interested, I have a little piece called “Life in an Insecure World” that you might want to read.

SCIENTIFIC MEETING
Thursday, October 23, 2008 at 8:00 PM
REVOLUTION IN MIND

George Makari has written a moving and definitive history on the passions and complexities of the Psychoanalytic movement – “Revolution in Mind.” In this scientific meeting, Dr. Makari will take us on a European journey beginning in the late nineteenth century and ending at 1945. In his presentation, he reviews many of the character who helped forge the young science. This includes the early contributions and conflicts with Bleuler, Jung and Adler, who eventually split off from the field, but also Ferenczi, Klein, Horney and others who struggled to improve the field. This presentation goes beyond the partisan myths and polemics offering a history that not only clarifies what was scientifically evident at the time, what Psychoanalysis added to this, and what was lost when the world became engulfed in the cataclysmic Second World War.
