THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF PSYCHOANALYSTS

The American College of Psychoanalysts was founded in 1969.  The membership has consisted of psychiatric psychoanalysts who made academic contributions in scholarship and education at psychoanalytic institutes or universities. The College from its inception has been apolitical and has prided itself on its strongly collegial atmosphere in which members can freely discuss psychoanalytic ideas. This past year the College opened its membership appeal to all psychiatric psychoanalysts (trained to APsaA or IPA standards); membership is no longer by invitation. The College welcomes psychiatric psychoanalysts from around the world – there are now many members from Europe and Japan.

The College will hold its next annual Continue reading The American College of Psychoanalsts

Lyrical Tuesday from Jane Hall: “You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught”

“You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught” (sometimes “You’ve Got to Be Taught” or “Carefully Taught”) is a show tune from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific.
South Pacific received scrutiny for its commentary regarding relationships between different races and ethnic groups. In particular, “You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught” was subject to widespread criticism, judged by some to be too controversial or downright inappropriate for the musical stage.[1] Sung by the character Lieutenant Cable, the song is preceded by a line saying racism is “not born in you! It happens after you’re born…”

Rodgers and Hammerstein risked the entire South Pacific venture in light of legislative challenges to its decency or supposed Communist agenda. While the show was on a tour of the Southern United States, lawmakers in Georgia introduced a bill outlawing entertainment containing “an underlying philosophy inspired by Moscow.”[2]One legislator said that “a song justifying interracial marriage was implicitly a threat to the American way of life.”[2] Rodgers and Hammerstein defended their work strongly. James Michener, upon whose stories South Pacific was based, recalled, “The authors replied stubbornly that this number represented why they had wanted to do this play, and that even if it meant the failure of the production, it was going to stay in.”[2]  from Wikipedia.Click Here to
