Letter to New York Times re Pittsburgh by Merton Shill

Letter to New York Times re Pittsburgh by Merton Shill October 30, 2018 6:38 AM
I have just sent this letter off to the NYT:

Some television commentators (for example, on CNN and MSNBC) on the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre have suggested that this gunman-and others– who act on anti-Semitic tropes are mentally disturbed. There has been no editorial response from the Times about this serious misunderstanding –or convenient self-deception. This event occurred because of active anti-Semitic hatred amongst both the perpetrator and the chorus of enablers who have been modeling various forms of hatred under this president, including anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism has had a distinguished history for 3000 years. It has its own internal logic and appeal. Some perpetrators of anti-Semitic acts are mentally ill, many are not. Were all Germans in the Third Reich who supported or condoned Hitler’s policy of Jewish extermination mentally ill? Was Cicero? Was Martin Luther mentally ill? Father Coughlin? Henry Ford?

Psychoanalytic Brooklyn: Invites you to join us for a continuing education seminar Beginning Treatment
November 30, 2018 4:00 to 5:30pm

A new patient enters our office for a consultation. Something has occurred to prompt their visit. Perhaps they are feeling anxious, dealing with a loss, or confronting an unmanageable interpersonal or work situation. How do we mobilize clinical understanding and empathy? How do we facilitate the beginnings of a therapeutic relationship capable of bringing about meaningful change? Any practicing clinician will have questions, thoughts about which way to go; moments of uncertainly about what to address, what to leave alone for now. This forum will provide an opportunity to raise and think about these questions Continue reading Beginning Treatment At CFS, Psychoanalytic Brooklyn
