PEP-Web 2018 Release

If you haven't seen the announcement on PEP's site, their 2018 update means most journals are now available fulltext through 2014.

Looking at Psychoanalysis: Three Books

Three recently-added books that examine psychoanalysis from different vantage points...

The library now has a subscription to the journal Psychoanalytic Review, which includes digital access to issues from the past two years. You can view the issues only when onsite at the Center. From a library computer, choose Resources from the list on the left, and the Psychoanalytic Review link will let you view articles from 2012 and 2013.

Where's My Sanity? (new book)

In Where's My Sanity: Stories That Help (2013, CreateSpace), Claudia Sheftel Luiz presents stories of imagined characters in order to demonstrate "... what emotional experiences create true, positive change." The book is available on our library's shelves at RC465/.L85/2013.

Current Journals Online

When on campus, you can access new issues of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Quarterly. In the column on your left, just click on Resources for the links. The links only work from computers onsite at CMPS, but you can always tell me which article you need and I'll get it to you.

Gifts from New Books in Psychoanalysis

The library has just received a gift of two books from New Books in Psychoanalysis : In Psychotic Temptation, by Liliane Abensour (Routledge, 2013), the author "...proposes the idea of a temptation towards psychosis rather than a regression, as a response to the hatred or denial of the subject's origins." (RC512/.A2413/2013) Mental Slavery: Psychoanalytic Studies of Caribbean People by Barbara Fletchman Smith (Karnac, 2000) is a study in transcultural psychoanalysis, examining "...the complex historical and psychological effects of slavery across generations of Caribbean people." (RC455.4/.E8/.S557/2000) Both books are available on the library shelves.

New Journal in PEP

The PEP database has just announced a new journal addition: Psyche - Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse, with fulltext articles available from 1947-2007. For those of us who don't speak German, PEP suggests using the translate feature in Google Chrome.

New library copiers

The library has updated its two copiers, along with the software that manages your copying/printing account. The new copiers offer color printing (50¢/page) and account login is through the copiers' own touchscreens (no more awkward pin machines!). When printing from library PCs, you now decide when your prints are made, giving you privacy and control. Please check your mailbox for information on your account, and stop by for a demonstration.

Please Select Your Gender

A book by Patricia Gherovici (Routledge, 2010) that "...offers an original contribution to the theoretical and clinical understanding of transgenderism, arguing against its systematic pathologization" (back cover). New to our library, and available to sign out at HQ77.9/.G43/2010.

New Moore & Fine ...

... only it's no longer Moore & Fine. The APA has issued a new edition of the classic reference work Psychoanalytic Terms & Concepts (E.L. Auchincloss & E. Samberg, eds.), Yale University Press, 2012. You can find it in the library's Reference section along with the other dictionaries.
