June 11th, 2008
Thanks to Hermine Muskat and Kim Romano, the video of the May 3, 2008 Torture and the American Psyche: Blurring the Boundaries Between Healers and Interrogators forum in Brookline MA is now available. This forum featured myself, David Sloan-Rossiter (Boston psychoanalyst and Curriculum Director at the Boston Institute for Psychotherapy & the Massachusetts Institute of Psychoanalysis), Leonard Rubenstein (President of Physicians for Human Rights), and Eric Fair (former interrogator in Iraq).
