Couch on psychoanalysis

Or should that be the other way round?
Therapeutic functions of the real relationship in psychoanalysis.
By Couch, Arthur S.
In The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, Vol 54, 1999, 130-168.


Or you could try: Anna Freud's Adult Psychoanalytic Technique - but be careful, it's 20 pages.


I suppose Arthur Couch is better than none . . . (try saying it in Cockney).

Paintin the Head of Art

Elaine Paintin died a few days ago. Amongst her many contributions to British cultural life, she was the British Library's head of art (1987-97), and trustee and director of the Cartoon Art Museum (1998-2003). She commissioned the emblematic statue of Isaac Newton (by Eduardo Paolozzi), that is the focus of the courtyard to the Library - clearly a sculpture, but also without doubt a Paintin.
