I wanted to alert you to 3 Positions Statements that were approved by
the Executive Council during the meetings:

–Position Statement Regarding Psychoanalysts* Providing Commentary on
Public Figures

–Impact of Immigration Policy on Children, Individuals, and Families

—Impact of Bullying and Harassment on Gender Non-Conforming and LGBT Youth

Click Here to Read Position Statements

The Social Issues Department led by Prudy Gourguechon deserve should
be applauded. I encourage members to view these statements, and use
them as a resource in speaking out your local communities, to the
media, and in settings such as schools, clinics, hospitals,
universities, and related settings.

On a personal note, when the position statement regarding the impact
of immigration enforcement was read to the Council by Carmela Perez, I
stood next to her and became a bit emotional, speechless actually (an
unusual thing for me!!), overwhelmed that the Council unanimously
approved the statement. “My kids,” I thought–students expelled from
the regular high schools for emotional and behavior problems, drugs,
gang related behavior, kids that the public school system often cares
little about, many of whom are undocumented for no fault of their own,
were now were being thought about and considered by OUR Council.

I returned to Chicago last week and informed the principal of our
school, Mr. Hernandez, of the Position Statement approval. He
remarked, “It’s good to know that a bunch of psychoanalysts in New
York care about our students. I bet that’s first………”

A first or not, I feel quite proud of APsaA. Consider how that is one
more step in changing the public’s view of psychoanalysts and
psychoanalysis.

DISCUSSION OF FREUD’S LAST SESSION

Mark St. Germain, Playwright, Jack Thomas, Producer,  The Rev. Daniel Simons, Trinity Wall Street, Dan Prezant, NYPSI
Fred Sander, NYPSI
Tuesday, February 21, 2012, 7:30 – 9 pm, $10 donation, RSVP admdir@nypsi.org

In his book The Question of God, Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr. writes, “Did Freud and C.S. Lewis ever meet?”  Nicholi’s speculation sparked the writing of Freud’s Last Session, the celebrated, award-winning play, now in its second year of performances.

Freud’s Last Session centers on Freud, who invites a young, little-known professor, C.S. Lewis, to his home in London. Lewis, expecting to be called on the carpet for satirizing Freud in a recent book, soon realizes Freud has a much more significant agenda. On the day England enters World War II, Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex and the meaning of life – only two weeks before Freud chooses to take his own.

Please join NYPSI members Daniel Prezant and Fred Sander in a discussion and Q&A with The Rev. Daniel Simons from Trinity Wall Street, Mark St. Germain, the playwright of Freud’s Last Session and Jack Thomas, a producer of the play.
