IMPULSE: A PSYCHOANALYTIC COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER BY NCSPP

Impulse is a community newsletter produced by the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology (NCSPP) and distributed electronically at no cost to subscribers. We envision Impulse as an integrative source for local news, events, and thinking of interest to the psychoanalytically inclined. Our goal is to be your guide as you explore the Bay Area's rich array of analytic resources.

We invite you to become a member of NCSPP, if you are not already. And, we welcome you as a subscriber to Impulse. Join us as we highlight the exceptional diversity of psychoanalytic thought and practice in Northern California.

VENEDIKT EROFEEV'S MOSCOW-PETUSHKI: A JOURNEY THROUGH DISBELIEF

Venedikt Erofeev's novel Moscow-Petushki (1968) is at once perplexing, hilarious, tragic, light-hearted, and profound. As such, the experience of reading it parallels the experience of our psychic encounters with others in the consulting room. Reality blends into fantasy, the conscious merges with the unconscious, and through it all, no temporal or spatial demarcations are positioned as anything more than fleeting and quite dubious conjectures.
