BULLETIN BOARD
CONFERENCES: Psychohistory Forum Work-In-Progress Seminars are announced as details are finalized after a paper is submitted, screened by a committee, and accepted. Our January 26, 2019 seminar by David Lotto (editor of The Journal of Psychohistory and in the private practice of psychoanalysis) on “Sex and Power in the Era of #MeToo,” was conducted in a most thoughtful and insightful manner. On October 27, 2018, Peter Webb Petschauer (Appalachian State University) spoke to the Forum on “A Psychohistorian’s Experience of New York City in the 1960s” as part of his almost completed book on the subject. On April 13 Larry Friedman (Harvard) will present “Erik Erikson on Generativity.” On March 9, Brian D’Agostino (Int. Psychohistorical Ass.) will present on “Sacred Cows and Scapegoats: Displacement, Ideology, and the Future of Democracy.” As usual, Jacques Szaluta is expected to serve as moderator. As in the past few years, I anticipate that Harold Takoosian will be our host at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center Campus. The International Psychohistorical Association (IPA) will hold its 42nd annual conference from May 22-24, 2019 at New York University. Featured speakers include psychoanalyst Nancy Chodorow, psychoanalyst Michael Eigen, organizational psychoanalyst Michael Diamond, historian David Greenberg, and Director of the Object Relations Institute Susan Kavaler-Adler. A major focus will be on the contributions of Michael Eigen. For more information go to psychohistory.us or email . Additional conferences related to psychohistory include the International Society for Political Psychology’s (ISPP) conference on July 12-15, 2019 in Lisbon, Portugal; the Association for the Psychoanalysis of Culture and Society (APCS) conference at Rutgers University in the Fall of 2019. The Interdisciplinary Conference of the Forum for Psychoanalytic Education (IFPE) will be held in Fall of 2019; and the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis (NAAP) in the Fall of 2019.
WELCOME: New members Sue Erikson Bloland and Frann Michel.
