  • Sabina Spielrein
    1 Sabina Spielrein A Life and Legacy Explored There is no death in remembrance. —Kathleen Kent, The Heretic’s Daughter abina Spielrein (often transliterated as Shpilrein or Spilrein) was born on SNovember 7, 1885, in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, into a Jewish family of seven: one sister, Emily; three brothers, Jan, Isaac, and Emil; and a businessman father, Nikolai Spielrein, and his wife, Eva. Spielrein was highly encouraged in her education and, unlike many young girls at the time, was afforded lessons in Warsaw, though her youth is often characterized as a troubled one, a time when her mother was emotionally unavailable and her father exerted immense authority over the household.1 However, Spielrein was a bright and intelligent child, and as a budding scientist, she kept liquids in jars expecting “the big creation” to take place in her near future.2 Remembering her early desire to create life, Spielrein once noted: “I was an alchemist.”3 Sadly, the death of Emily, who died at six years old, sent Spielrein into a dizzying confrontation with mortality at the tender age of fifteen. This loss, coupled with confusing abuse at the hands of her father—dis- cussed in the next chapter—spun her into a period of turmoil for which she was institutionalized. In August 1904, at age nineteen, she was sent to the Burghölzli Clinic in Zurich, Switzerland, where she became a patient of a then twenty-nine-year-old and married Dr. Carl Jung. She was to be one of his 9 © 2017 State University of New York Press, Albany 10 Sabina Spielrein first patients, subsequently diagnosed with “hysteria” and exhibiting symptoms of extreme emotional duress, such as screaming, repetitively sticking out her tongue, and shaking.4 She was a guinea pig for a new “talking cure,” based on free association, dream interpretation, and talk therapy, as innovated by Dr.

It's very nice of you. The first question that I'd like to ask you is, how did you and Roy meet, the first time? DL: The first time we met, I was working at a gallery, the Bianchini Gallery. That was around the corner from the Castelli Gallery at 4 East 77th Street. We were on 78th Street, and, in fact, that's the gallery that Rosa Esmond has now, Ubu Gallery [16 East 78th Street]. AG: Oh, is that her gallery? DL: Yes. We were doing a show called The Great American Supermarket, based on the fact that so much of the work in the early '60s imitated commercial products and ads, so we thought to set the exhibition up. AG: That's great. And this was a contemporary gallery? DL: Yes. When I started working there, Paul Bianchini owned it, and he did mostly drawing shows of modern masters, but, say, French and Europeans and mostly pre-war, but he would have had Dubuffet and Giacometti. AG: And he was a friend of Leo's [Castelli]. MoMA Archives Oral History: D. Lichtenstein page 1 of 29 DL: Well, he ran this gallery. He knew Leo, and of course it was very exciting.

  • The Primacy of Emotions: a Continuation of Dramatology
    Archives of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, 2015; 2 : 61–74 DOI: 10.12740/APP/42669 The primacy of emotions: a continuation of dramatology Henry Zvi Lothane Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point; on le sait en mille choses. (Pascal) Summary: Psychiatry means healing the psyche or soul that belongs to an individual human being, that is, a per- son, with a body and a capacity for acting, feeling, emoting and speaking, perceived by the five senses or imagined, seen figuratively in the mind’s eye, in images of dreams and daydreams. Since the total per- son appears before us with all the characteristics, an all-in-one package, I ask, how is it that psychiatry has lost its psyche? Dramatology approaches human encounters, events, and scenes as dramatic enact- ments of characters in conflict and crisis. It comprises two forms: dramatisation in thought and emotion that involves images and scenes lived in memories, dreams, daydreams, fantasy scenarios, and drama- tisation in act. This paper is a continuation of my earlier publication in this journal. emotions / dramatology / Freud EMOTIONS IN LIFE, DISORDER AND THERAPY cal treatment says more than that: it is treatment that has its beginning in the soul, treatment of For an introduction to the concept of drama- psychical or bodily complaints through means tology, please see Lothane [1].

Back in 1942, when Smith College committed itself to the preservation of the record of women's lives and work, few could have antici­ pated the key role that this cornucopia of women's letters, diaries, pho­ tographs, organizations' records, periodicals, and other primary material would play in making possible the broadening of historical inquiry to include women's experience and achievements. From the acorn Margaret Storrs Grierson '22 planted and skillfully tended for its first twenty-three years, the collection has grown to a sturdy oak of more than four hundred manuscripts collections occupying 5,000 linear feet, and 650 current and historical peri­ odical titles.

  • Lightstone Launches Tech-Related Real Estate Investment Platform
    Lightstone Launches Tech-Related Real Estate Investment Platform https://thediwire.com/lightstone-launches-tech-related-real-estate-investment-platform/ April 11, 2019 Lightstone, a real estate investor, developer and sponsor of alternative direct investments, has launched a new platform to purchase telecommunications and technology real estate assets. With an initial allocation of $300 million, the platform will focus on acquiring existing but underutilized data centers and telecom infrastructure, existing technology-related real estate, and new development opportunities. “As the use of cloud-based data skyrockets and growth of cloud platforms like Amazon and Google continues, there is overwhelming need for large-scale data center facilities that can support these providers and services,” said David Lichtenstein, CEO of Lightstone. “We’ve launched the platform to capitalize on the opportunity to meet this demand.” Lightstone’s platform will focus on both primary and secondary markets, including potential expansion into European markets. The company’s investments will encompass underutilized data center facilities with anchor tenant sales and leasebacks from large enterprise companies, existing technology-related real estate that can support additional leases, and new development opportunities presented by the growth of tech giants and cloud providers. In January 2019, the platform closed on its first development site, acquiring 2175 Martin Avenue in Santa Clara, California. The site will be a three-story, 88,000 square foot data center and is expected to be delivered as soon as early 2021. Christopher Flynn was named president of Lightstone Data Fund and will manage the fund and its technology- based assets. Flynn has more than 20 years of experience in the data real estate sector and a record of building data centers for EdgeConnex in 35 global locations, the company said.
