LAWRENCE BALLON, M.D., has succeeded Dorienne Sorter as
Editor of the IAPSP Online Reading Seminars. A very successful seminar
featuring Joye Weisel-Barth's paper "Thinking and Writing About
Complexity Theory in the Clinical Setting" has just been completed.
Joye participated in the discussion as the author. Phil Ringstrom and I
served as her co-discussants. In addition to our members in the U.S., a
number of international members, who have limited opportunity to attend
self psychological conferences, participated. It was a very rich and
stimulating discussion. Additionally, I am on the faculty of our analytic training program here
at ICP&P in Washington, DC, and have just finished teaching a very
successful course "Psychoanalytic Writing" for our second-year
candidates. I'll be serving as a moderator for one of the paper sessions at the
IARPP conference in Baltimore this spring. The paper is "Voice and Cure:
The Significance of Voice in Repairing Early Patterns of Disregulation"
by Kristin Miscall Brown, LCSW. In personal news,
I'm going to become a grandfather for the first time this
spring.
CHRISTINE C. KIEFFER, PH.D., has been appointed to the
editorial boards of Psychoanalytic Inquiry and IJSP. She
also was appointed an Editorial Associate of the Journal of the
American Psychoanalytic Association. Dr. Kieffer published two new
papers in the past year: "Emergence and the Analytic Third: Working at
the Edge of Chaos," published by Psychoanalytic Dialogues in Sept./Oct.,
2007 and "From Selfobjects to Mutual Recognition" in an issue on
"Fathers and Daughters," an issue edited by her, in Psychoanalytic
Inquiry, January, 2008. Dr. Kieffer presented a paper in July, 2007
at the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis in
Athens, Greece titled, "Co-Constructing the Analytic Third."
ROGER J. SEGALLA, JR., Ph.D., invites you to visit
his website.
It is a wikipedia site
specifically designed to document the growing lexicon of terms,
concepts, and theories that represent the field of relational (little
"r") psychoanalysis. A wikipedia allows for the collaborative creation
of edited definitions just like an encyclopedia. Like the now famous
wikipedia.com, the visitors and users are also the writers and editors.
With the combined efforts of all of you scholarly and erudite writers,
theorists, and consumers of psychoanalytic literature, we will create an
invaluable and evolving resource which should support and enrich the
development of relational psychoanalytic literature. We need your help
to make this website resource work! Once you arrive at the website you
will need to enter your email address and use the password "sandor."
Here's an important hint: If you want to contribute to the
website it is much easier to use the "point and click editor" which you
can find in the left hand corner of the page when you go into edit mode.
You may need to download and use a different web browser such as
FireFox. There are more detailed instructions available when you go to
the website. I want your comments and suggestions about the website and
I will do everything I can to utilize them as the wiki evolves. Please
feel free to contact me at: rsegalla@verizon.net.
