CALL FOR PAPERS Deadline March 10, 2018
www.aapcsw.org

Intrigue, Insight, Inquiry: Through Today’s Psychoanalytic Lens

In these multilayered and challenging professional times, how can we sustain excellence in clinical theory and practice? Our challenge is in safeguarding core values — individual dignity, respect for diversity, social justice advocacy — as we embrace innovations in psychoanalytic knowledge. Holding this complexity in mind, the conference aims to provide a space to explore the human condition in health and illness. We will view these ideas in relation to clinical experience, based on understanding the intersection of the inner and outer world. We will also continue to build our legacy for the next generation. Join us in our efforts at facing our challenges, and promoting depth and breadth in our insights about contemporary clinical practice.

Praise for Howard Schwartz’s New Children’s Book, All Aboard:

“I found this book to be a delightful depiction of what life can be like for children, parents and grandparents who appreciate and enjoy each other. It’s written as a chapter book but I felt it was more a series of snapshots of the various challenges and rewards occurring in the lives of families circling around the curiosity and wishes of young children to explore and understand the world around them. Indeed, each snapshot stands on its own and yet is enhanced by the others.

It was particularly pleasurable for me to read this book in an era where each new book seems to be moving in a darker direction, intent on highlighting what’s wrong with the world. It’s great to be reminded that there is a wonderful side to life.” Continue reading Praise for All Aboard, New Children’s Book By Howard Schwartz
