BULLETIN BOARD
CONFERENCES: The winter and spring meetings of the Psychohistory Forum Work-In-Progress Saturday Seminars are being scheduled. The September session on Remembering 9/11 with presenters Danielle Knafo, David Beisel, and Paul Elovitz was a success as was the November panel on the psychology of health care reform with presentations by Paul Elovitz, David Lotto, and Denis O’Keefe. There was a positive response to the Forum-sponsored panel of The Association for the Psychoanalysis of Culture and Society (APCS) Rutgers—New Brunswick meetings on October 9, 2009.
PUBLICATIONS: Congratulations to Barry M. Shapiro on the publication of Traumatic Politics: The Deputies and the King in the Early French Revolution by Penn State University Press and to psychoanalyst Stanley Teitelbaum for Athletes Who Indulge Their Dark Side: Sex, Drugs, and Cover-ups (Praeger, 2009) Potomac Press will be publishing Nancy Kobrin’s The Banality of Suicide Terrorism, which includes some of her articles first published in Clio’s Psyche: “Imitation of Judaism” (Vol. 9, no. 2, 2002) and “A Psychoanalytic Approach to bin Laden, Political Violence, and Islamic Suicidal Terrorism” (Vol. 8, no. 4, 2002).
NOTES ON MEMBERS: Congratulations to Glenn Jeansonne and Lauren Priegel who married on September 5th. We welcome new members Carol Lachman and Allan Mohl, as well as Molly Castelloe Fong, who is returning after a long maternal sabbatical.
ERRATA: In the September issue there were two errors. On page 143 of Ann Saltzman’s article on the impact of 9/11, the total for 2003 is missing, it should read “115.” On page 131 of her article on 9/11, Irene Javors, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), is erroneously listed as a CSW.
