Dear colleagues:

It seems that people behave the same no matter what group we look at , hence this week we live with thoughts of sequestration and a law suit. To take a respite from the negativity, I suggest glancing at the international psychoanalytic website and reading the articles that inform, lift your spirits or otherwise entertain you. If time permits, please write your comments.
My choices this week include:

1) First of all, please note that in order to continue to the growth of this high quality website, any contribution from you would be greatly appreciated.

2) The Review – A Basic Theory of Neuropsychoanalysis
by W. M. Bernstein is a very fine example of a discussion of the delicate balance between neuroscience and psychoanalysis, and certain has encouraged me to read the book.
