Freud: The Last Great Enlightenment Thinker
January 25, 2012A Sad Loss for our Community, Elisabeth Young-Bruehl Passes Away
December 6, 2011
It is with great sadness to report that Elisabeth Young-Bruehl, a philosopher, psychoanalyst and biographer known for her lives of two influential women, Hannah Arendt and Anna Freud, died on Thursday near her home in Toronto. She was 65. She contributed to our TICP Bulletin and co-founded Caversham Productions with Christine Dunbar. Our thoughts go out to her family, friends, and colleagues.

Special Guest Lecture
ELISABETH YOUNG-BRUEHL
Author, Hannah Arendt– For Love of the World, and scholar-in-residence, Jackman Humanities Institute
D.W. WINNICOTT REVISES PSYCHOANALYSIS, 1945-1971
Elisabeth Young-Bruehl did a PhD in Philosophy at the New School for Social Research, just at the moment that Hannah Arendt became a member of the Graduate Faculty there. For five years she was Arendt’s student, finishing her degree and joining the faculty at Wesleyan University shortly before Hannah Arendt died in 1975. Arendt’s émigré friends asked her to write the biography that appeared in 1982 to much acclaim: Hannah Arendt-For Love of the World. For the next twenty years, Elisabeth had an academic career, writing a number of books, including the one that drew her into the world of psychoanalysis: Anna Freud -A Biography (1988). She did psychoanalytic training, first in New Haven, working with Hans Loewald, and then in Philadelphia, where she graduated in 1999 and was certified by the American Psychoanalytic Association two years later, after opening a practice in New York. In recent years, starting with The Anatomy of Prejudices in 1996, her writing has been predominantly in the field of psychoanalysis, its practice and history.
She is currently starting a new biographical historical project, having been appointed General Editor of the Collected Writings of D.W. Winnicott by the Winnicott Trust in London. Her talk will be an introduction to Winnicott’s work and particularly to his general concept of child development. You will also learn how to play a game called Squiggle.

New York Times Article dealing with alternative ways of doing therapy
of course if you want some online humour dealing with this subject then you can always visit the sitcom “WEB Therapy” – staring Lisa Kudrow who stars as a therapist with limited patience for others’ problems in this original improvised series. Kinda funny.

Well, After A Summer Break, HCEP is Back!!
September 16, 2011
Hi Folks
Well, after a summer break, we are back. Spent some time at the cottage training dogs how to sit for photos (they are glad that is over) and teaching my dog to jump off the dock and apparently learn how to fly. Now it’s back to the grind….
Please feel free to send any links you think our audience might enjoy and stay in touch with us. Looking forward to another year.

Have you seen a therapist yourself? What do patients think about that?

Yale Psychologist Calls for end to Individual Psychotherapy
September 16, 2011
Yale Psychologist calls for the end of individual psychotherapy – click here to read full interview
Is individual therapy overrated and outdated? Yes, says Alan Kazdin, a professor of psychology and child psychiatry at Yale University, writing in the leading journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.
Kazdin contends that treatments for mental health issues have made great strides over the last few decades, but the problem is that these evidence-based therapies aren’t getting to the people who need them. Nearly 50% of the American population will suffer some kind of mental illness at least once in their lifetimes, but the mental health field, which relies largely on individual psychotherapy to deliver care, isn’t equipped to help the vast majority of patients.
TIME spoke with Kazdin about his views and recommendations for change.
