KI: Michael Levin from Brad Kremer on Vimeo. Nice video, photographer at work but most of all also an excellent camera men.

April 5, 2011
The number of psychiatric residents interested in psychodynamic therapies is decreasing. Some are still very interested but this kind of psychotherapy is hardly educated anymore and therapists, supervisors are scarce. A recent free online available brief report from a psychoanalytical group, Genden (Genève—Denver), explored the possible reasons for psychiatric residents’ hesitation to get psychoanalytic training. They interviewed 100 residents in psychiatry working for at least 4 years. This focus group of 5 psychoanalytical psychotherapists proposes ten commonsense feedbacks for psychoanalysts regarding stimulating young psychiatric residents’ interest in psychoanalytic approaches.

Dr Shock
February 8, 2011
The use of wax for the reproduction of organs or parts of the human body started of at the end of the 17th century. A Sicilian wax artist, Gaetano Giulio Zumbo, and a French surgeon Guillaume Desnoues worked together in making the first realistic anatomical models from colored wax. Gaetano Giulio Zumbo produced four highly realistic compositions known as ‘Theatres of Death’, still on display at La Specola Museum, Florence, and wax anatomical models. The most important characteristic of wax for artistic purposes is its capacity to afford a remarkable mimetic likeness far surpassing that given by any other material. It .....read more »
