Presentation given at Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (MITPP), 2009. Mt. Sinai Dept. of Psychiatry, 2010.

From the Presentation:
It is 2009: 100 years since Freud brought psychoanalysis to America delivering his introductory lectures at Clark University. The world has changed vastly since Freud created his baby. What kid of parent would he have been during separation/individuation, adolescence, and  adulthood? And, just what is psychoanalytic work in today’s world?  This paper touches on the some of the developmental difficulties of psychoanalysis, and suggests that, unlike Freud and his disciples, we try to listen to each other with open minds and a learning ears. We must respect the separation/individuation phase and cultivate our acceptance of “the other.” Individuation implies autonomy, seemingly at odds with institute life here in America. Factionalism during what some call the demise of psychoanalysis is suicidal. Listening to like minded individuals is soothing and helpful, but listening as well to those who challenge ‘received wisdom’ can lead to growth. As for psychoanalytic work – I will talk briefly about how I have evolved from my orthodox roots.

“Inter Alia can be read as a memoir or as a textbook in psychoanalysis with the author as the case study. What bridges the two genres is the author’s ongoing reflection on what made him who he was and his impatient desire to overcome his shortcomings by introspection and through psychoanalytic treatment. It must also be said that it is is a love story. It is not saccharine—no one is larger than life, everyone has flaws—but nonetheless it is a story About love. It is about the author’s love for his parents, his children, and his wife, but also his love for his colleagues, his patients and for the people who helped him along the way. Viewed as the hero’s journey the protagonist moves from a position of alienatio Continue reading Two Titles Now Available on Kindle

Mysteries of massive holes forming in Siberian permafrost unlocked by scientist

The walls of this immense crater look as though they could have been scooped out of ice cream, but for the protruding ends of plant roots. And at more than 85 meters (275 feet) tall in places, Batagaika’s cliff-faces keep growing while the crater below becomes deeper and wider. Batagaika Crater has formed as rising temperatures have thawed the permafrost in Siberia.  Image: NASA Earth Observatory images by Jesse Allen, using Landsat data from the U.S. Geological Survey.
