  • Police Violence Against Afro-Descendants in the United States
    Cover Art Concept This IACHR report concludes that the United States has systematically failed to adopt preventive measures and to train its police forces to perform their duties in an appropriate fashion. This has led to the frequent use of force based on racial bias and prejudice and tends to result in unjustified killings of African Americans. This systematic failure is represented on the cover of the report by a tombstone in the bullseye of a shooting range target, which evokes the path of police violence from training through to these tragic outcomes. The target is surrounded by hands: hands in the air trying to stop the bullet, hands asking for help because of the danger that police officers represent in certain situations, and hands expressing suffering and pain over the unjustified loss of human lives.

That was then, this is now: Psychoanalytic psychotherapy for the rest of us. Retrieved from http://jonathanshedler.com/writings/ √ https://jonathanshedler.com © 2006-2019 by Jonathan Shedler, PhD. All rights reserved. Rev 11-2019 “Look at yourself honestly and unflinchingly to the very bottom of your mind.” Calligraphy by Shihan Tsutomo Ohshima, Martial Arts Master 2 Author’s Note This work-in-progress is a jargon-free introduction to contemporary psychodynamic thought. It is intended for trainees and for clinicians trained in other therapy approaches. I wrote it because existing books did not meet my students’ needs. Many classic introductions to psychoanalytic therapy are dated. They describe the psychoanalytic thinking of decades ago, not today. Others contain too much jargon to be accessible or assume prior knowledge that few contemporary readers possess. Still others have a partisan agenda of promoting one psychoanalytic school of thought over others, but trainees are ill-served by treating them as pawns in internecine theoretical disputes. Finally, some otherwise excellent books assume an interested and sympathetic reader— an assumption that is often unwarranted. Most students today are exposed to considerable disinformation about psychoanalytic thought and approach it with inaccurate and pejorative preconceptions. The title is a double entendre. “That was then, this is now” alludes to a central aim of psychoanalytic therapy, which is to help free people from the bonds of past experience in order to live more fully in the present.

  • July/August 2021
    Volume 37 Issue 4 July/August 2021 Ten Thousand Feet for Freedom Leslie Blankenship, Local Historian ugust 26 is “Woman’s Equality Day.” On that date in 1920 the 19th Amendment was certified, and many women in the United States finally achieved the constitutional right to vote as a fundamental componentA of their citizenship. On June 16, 1919, Ohio was the fifth state to ratify the amendment. Voting rights were granted to American Indians and Asian Americans when they became citizens through acts of Congress in 1924 (Snyder Act) and 1952 (McCarren-Walter Act), respectively. African Americans in the South had to wait until 1965 when the federal Voting Rights Act abolished all manner of Jim Crow voting restrictions. Another date, August 27, 1912, cherished by Ohio woman suffrage advocates, is little remembered today. On that Tuesday morning, thousands of women gathered in Columbus to march in the state’s first suffrage parade. It was a compelling display of street theater with equal parts beauty, solidarity, and resolve that dazzled its audience, changed some minds, and earned grudging respect for the marchers’ cause. In 1911, Ohio was at a watershed moment. Fed up with the consequences of corrupt boss-dominated municipal governments and of a General Assembly in thrall to the excesses of Big Business, Ohio men voted to convene a Constitutional Convention to remedy these abuses. Gaveled into session on January 9, 1912, the 119 nonpartisan [male] members of the “Con-Con” got right to it. Within five months, they debated 350 reforms and offered 42 new constitutional amendments to Ohio’s [male] voters for approval in a September 3rd Special Dr.

We have just the right mixture of folks who’ve been around awhile and those who are relatively new to performing. For instance we all know who Dr. Elmo is, by his famous song “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” though we’re not all familiar with his bluegrass leanings through his band “Wild Blue” Kathy Kallick is another long-time SoCoFoSo favorite. She headlined one of our original Sonoma County Folk Fes- tivals in 999 and it’s certainly time to have her again on the Community Center Stage. This time, Kathy comes with a newly assembled band fresh from rave reviews throughout the Bay Area. The word is a CD is coming at the end of April but meanwhile, the live performance at this festival is our only chance to hear her great music in Sonoma County.
