Towards An Understanding of Loneliness and Aloneness: At APSaA Conference 2012, Chicago, Illinois

through their dramatic characters allow us to examine and consider

Dear colleagues,

This week it has been very difficult to focus a single theme as so much is happening in our analytic world.

Dear Colleagues,

Our international psychoanalytic website is ready to give you all the good news this week, one in which our country’s president made history by endorsing gay marriage and history was made in psychoanalysis by a prominent psychoanalytic society and institute as it changed its name to move forward. May these historic changes continue in our own society.

Let me draw your attention to:

1) Note the change of name of the New York Freudian Society

Dear Colleagues,

On the birthday of Sigmund Freud it is no accident that there are numerous articles related to his life and work, as well as to the Holocaust which cut his work short.

Please note that for the sake of brevity I am not including previously posted ANNOUNCEMENTS. (more…)
