A Power Structure Analysis of Four Psychoanalytic Institutes by David James Fisher, Ph.D

UnFreeAssociations

by N. Szajnberg, MD, Managing Editor

Roberta George

Welcome back, everyone.  I hope you’ve been enjoying a relaxing and reflective Labor Day weekend.

Our September poet, Roberta George, shares some details of a laborious childhood in “War Stories,” the last of the poems below.
