BULLETIN BOARD

CONFERENCES: The Psychohistory Forum Work-In-Progress Seminar’s virtual meeting on 01/30/21 featured Burton N. Seitler’s (Adelphi University and Private Practice) “Teaching Psychoanalysis at Adelphi: A Dream Come True,” Marcia Anne Newton’s (University at Albany) “Teaching At-Risk Students in a Pandemic,” and Paul H. Elovitz’ (The Psychohistory Forum) “Learning and Helping People Learn.” Additional meetings will be scheduled when proposal papers are received and a committee has reviewed them. Theresa Aiello and Denis O’Keefe are chairing the planning committee of the International Psychohistorical Association’s (IPA) 44^th Annual Conference on May 19-21, 2021 at NYU; the International Society for Political Psychology’s (ISPP) virtual meeting on July 11-13, 2021; and the Interdisciplinary Conference of the Forum for Psychoanalytic Education (IFPE) conference will be held in Fall 2021. On March 6-7, 2021, over 70 colleagues of the Gesellschaft für Psychohistorie und Politische Psychologie (GPPP—Society to Psychohistory and Political Psychology) came together virtually for its annual psychohistory conference in Germany. It was focused mostly on children and prenatal issues. Sven Fuchs elaborated on his research on abused children worldwide and Peter Petschauer presented on authoritarians in power.

CONGRATULATIONS: To Peter Loewenberg whose “extraordinary life in history and psychoanalysis” was celebrated by the Los Angeles New Center for Psychoanalysis on March 6, 2021, with about 120 colleagues from around the world in virtual attendance. David James Fisher was the moderator. To Vamık Volkan on the honor of giving the annual Holocaust Memorial Lecture at the London Freud Museum on January 27, 2021. To Ken Fuchsman on the publication by Routledge on March 9, 2021, of Healing, Rebirth and the Work of Michael Eigen, edited by Keri Cohen and him. It is unusual in being the first book by a commercial publisher consisting entirely of papers delivered at an IPA conference (2019).

WORK IN PROGRESS: Peter Petschauer is writing Once a South Tyrolian, Always a South Tyrolian (in German) and completing his second book of poetry, tentatively titled, Listen to the Voices we tend not to Hear. Lawrence Tritle is continuing to make good progress on his The Beast War. The Story of Us Humans, which he is negotiating with Oxford to publish. Charles Strozier, who recently relocated from New York to St. Augustine, Florida, is writing Revisiting Kohut (under contract with Oxford and examining

the paradigm shift Kohut introduced) and The Miracle of Peace: Northern Ireland, John, Lord Alderdice, and the End of the Troubles. Paul H.
