To be sure, our psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytic work has a crucial role to play in generating understanding and healing wherever we manage to practice, teach, and live it. Our analytic attitudes matter. Yet as I\u2019ve gone about compiling and editing this December edition of <em>The IARPP Bulletin<\/em>, I keep thinking of Winnicott\u2019s famous intervention during the British Society\u2019s Controversial Discussions as World War II raged: \u201cI should like to point out that there is an air-raid going on outside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t help but think most centrally right now of our colleagues in Chile, currently immersed in tumultuous social upheaval, an ongoing series of protests and repressive reprisals which carry hope alongside disconcerting signs of history repeating itself. I\u2019m pained as well by the increasingly violent responses of the Chinese police to student protestors in Hong Kong, with its disturbing echoes of Tiananmen Square. Many other political upheavals; fires, floodings, species extinction. I could go on \u2013 the anguish of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Here in the States, as I write this message, I toggle back and forth between assiduously (obsessively) tracking the House of Representatives\u2019 impeachment hearings on one screen, and tending to the stirring posts that keep arriving from the IARPP Colloquium on another screen. Plus patients, readings for the class I teach and the reading group I attend, meetings and conferences \u2026 family time \u2026 a meal with an old friend \u2026 sleep. Is there time for more?<\/p>\n<p>To invoke Betty Joseph\u2019s phrase, everything happens at once.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, news there is: reports from our committees and our chapters. We need community, we need purpose. Our common endeavor \u2013 which locates a commitment to truth, its own reward, and a commitment to relationship \u2013 is orienting and potentially galvanizing.<\/p>\n<p>This issue marks the beginning of my second year as Editor of IARPP\u2019s newsletter. Chief among the pleasures of overseeing it has been the opportunity to engage in both formal and informal modes with colleagues from all over the globe. I\u2019ve enjoyed staying close to news of all the books, journal articles, and presentations produced by our members. It\u2019s been a treat to have closer contact with our dynamo President, Steven Kuchuck, and to rely on my steady and good-humored team of IARPP staffers who do so much work to put together each issue, Elisa Zazzera and Valerie Ghent. It\u2019s also a tonic to have periodic guidance from my editorial fairy godmother, Christina Emanuel, my predecessor in this position.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to continuing in my role in the year ahead as it affords me contact with so many IARPP members. It is gratifying to be a cog in the IARPP wheel, and I hope that the <em>Bulletin<\/em> helps you feel more connected to the strong work and the communal feel of this association.<\/p>\n<p>For those celebrating the various end-of-the-year holidays, I wish you sustenance for the spirit, some rest and relaxation, and peace and joy to everyone. Perhaps now more than ever.<\/p>\n<p>See you in the new year.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Matt Aibel, LCSW<br \/>\nEditor, <em>The IARPP Bulletin<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/aibelphoto0818W.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7489 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/aibelphoto0818W.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/aibelphoto0818W.jpg 200w, https:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/aibelphoto0818W-186x300.jpg 186w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Matt Aibel, LCSW<br \/>\nNew York City<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We invite all IARPP members to submit announcement of their publications and presentations.
