Announcement

 Poets and poetry have long held special appeal for psychoanalysts.  Even more than other scholars, analysts often seem to reach for poetic quotations to fill what Adam Phillips (in Promises, Promises: Essays on Psychoanalysis and Literature) calls “a gap, an aporia, a space often unnoticed … that needs something else.”  It seems appropriate, therefore, that International Psychoanalysis should open up regularly a space for poetry in its pages.  To that end, we will be featuring, at the beginning of every week, three or four new or previously published poems selected especially to interest and perhaps expand the interest of our wide, diverse readership.  Occasionally, we may also include short articles, essays and/ or excerpts from prose about poetry.

We plan to launch our new feature, “Poetry Monday,” in National Poetry Month, on April 7.  Please look for it, and let us have your comments.

I thought this article from the Guardian would be of particular interest to those who were in Berlin for the IPA Congress and went on the tour of Jewish Berlin which included a visit to the Synagogue before restoration:

Germany’s largest synagogue, an architectural and historical landmark in the centre of Berlin, will reopen today after extensive restoration work.

The red-brick Rykestrasse synagogue is to be reopened in the presence of former members who were forced to flee Nazi Germany. It was set on fire on Kristallnacht on November 9 1938, when synagogues and Jewish businesses were attacked and destroyed on Nazi orders…
