Women Psychoanalysts: Stories and Theories
Tuesdays 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. Zoom | The women included in this course were practitioners of psychoanalysis and wrote extensively about their work. These women have been selected because of the significance of their thought for psychoanalytic practice. Some of them were ostracized by other psychoanalysts and the importance of their thought may have been neglected, ignored, or forgotten, and their work may have been derogated. We will articulate what is different about the contributions of women to psychoanalytic theory. And we will concentrate on women who were considered important: Karen Horney, Melanie Klein, Anna Freud, Ana Maria Rizzuto and others. The goal of this series is to bring out the indisputable contributions of these four women to psychoanalysis and the practice of psychotherapy. Oliva M.

The automobile has shaped the way we conduct modern life —
from the way we eat our meals down to the songs we sing. It is endlessly
fascinating to learn where we have come from and where we are going on our
automotive journey. This couse will make relevant the impact of the automobile
on our everyday lives so even those who do not tout the title of “gearhead” may
enjoy the experience and walk away with more knowledge and insight into our
world than they had before.
