New book acquisitions

Two interesting new books in the Library, new and old:

Reading French Psychoanalysis (D. Birksted-Breen, S. Flanders, & A. Gibeault, eds.), Routledge, 2010.

"How has psychoanalysis developed in France in the years since Lacan so dramatically polarized the field?... Seminal and representative papers have been chosen to illuminate what is special about French thinking." (from back cover)

(Available to borrow at BF175/.R37/2010)

The Why Report: A Book of 45 Interviews with Psychiatrists, Psychoanalysts, and Psychologists (L. Freeman & M. Theodores, eds.). Arthur Bernhard, 1964.

Includes two interviews with Hyman Spotnitz: "Do people have the right to hate as well as to love?" and "Do accidents just happen to children?"
