Everyone who subscribes to the List receives all of the posted responses and
discussion.

"During the past quarter of a century, radical changes in the concept and
meaning of psychoanalysis have been taking place in the analytic community.
The days of a monolithic psychoanalysis are fast fading as the positivist
foundations of History, Knowledge and Truth have been called into question.
Truth, as it turns out, is not a fixed and universal absolute.

The Academy is pleased to sponsor this discussion of the Psyche Arts as a
contribution to the discourse taking place within and around psychoanalysis,
and between psychoanalysis and other bodies of knowledges such as philosophy,
the humanities, the arts, semiotics, historiography,.....and others, a
discourse where new Truths can be created, where new voices can be heard,
where new and different conceptual foundations for knowledge and human being
can be formed, and where new and very different realities of psychoanalysis
might be understood.

Please join in this discourse of the Psyche Arts "....to consider or examine
by comment, argument or informal debate" the issues of contemporary
psychoanalysis.  Welcome!"
