Cultural and psychoanalytic heritage, role models and art looting from Sasha Rolde on IP.net
Dear colleagues,
With the world remembering 9/11 and talk of war in the air again, it seems fitting yet again that our posts reflect the history of the world as well as of psychoanalytic thought.

Aggression, evil, OCD, loss, neuroscience & “evidence” by Sasha Rolde on IP.net
Dear Colleagues,
School year and work year having begun after the summer hiatus, I hope that you will continue to devote some time on the weekend to read the posts on our international psychoanalysis website. The world news brimming with aggression and hostility, let us try to obtain some answers and ask some questions as to why this is happening.
