With God on Our Side by Bob Dylan

Here’s another Dylan song, not as well known as “Blowin in The Wind” but as relevant today as it was in 1964. It’s worth a read if not a listen for all of us..

Freud and the Ludic Mind: New Ideas in Psychoanalysis

What would happen to psychoanalytic theory if, instead of adopting the death drive──drive toward death and destruction──Freud had chosen to conceptualize the ludic drive, merely mentioned by him in his studies?

Freud and the ludic mind: new ideas in psychoanalysis were initially written for readers with a psychoanalytic background, but other readers may also take advantage of it. The psychoanalyst will see what happens when the author introduces the hypothesis of a ludic drive into the classical Freudian model──an impulse for living an active life, a life in which one is all the time doing, feeling, talking, listening, or imagining something.

The result is a new theory of the mind that, in a peaceful and nonexclusive way, incorporates many recent developments of psychoanalysis into the classical Freudian construction. It opens a wide range of new possibilities for clinical activity.
This book provides a broad and profound reflection on possible paths of psychoanalysis, with a theoretical framework built on contributions by Freud, Hartmann, Alexander, Hendrick, Mahler, Winnicott, Kohut, Melanie Klein, Bowlby, and others. It merges the core ideas of major psychoanalysis schools Continue reading Freud and the Ludic Mind: New Ideas in Psychoanalysis From IPBooks
