CONFERENCES: Forthcoming Psychohistory Forum Work-In-Progress Seminars include January 25, 2020 when Michael O’Loughlin (Adelphi University/professor/psychoanalyst/editor) will present on “Trauma Trails from Ireland’s Great Hunger: A Psychoanalytic Inquiry” and on April 4, 2020 when Jim Anderson (Northwestern University/psychoanalyst/editor of the Annual of Psychoanalysis) will present on “Heinz Kohut’s Vulnerable Self.” We will definitely have an Election 2020 special issue before the fall election and possibly one in the Spring, which would involve the issue of impeachment. Thanks to Sue Erikson Bloland for her November 16, 2019 presentation, “The Impact of Childhood Trauma on Creativity, Genius, and the Drive to Fame,” and to Alice Lombardo Maher and Ken Fuchsman for their September 28, 2019 discussion of Dr. Maher’s book focused on how to abort or roll back the drive to war. As usual, Jacques Szaluta serves as moderator and Harold Takoosian as our host at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center Campus. The International Psychohistorical Association (IPA) will hold its 43 annual conference from May 20-22, 2020 at New York University. Vamık Volkan will be the keynote speaker and the three central conference themes are “The History of American Psychoanalysis Since 1970”; “The 2020 American Presidential Election”; and “Tribalism and Identity: Us vs. Them, and Us and Them.” Send your presentation proposals to and for more information go to psychohistory.us.
