| Posted: 6/25/2010 Jane McAdam Freud to exhibit sculptures September 2010 as part of International Psychoanalytical Association's Centenary Celebrations As part of the 100th anniversary of the IPA, an art exhibit with the London based artist, Jane McAdam Freud, the great grand daughter of Sigmund Freud and daughter of the well known English artist Lucian Freud takes place at the New Center for Psychoanalysis at 2014 Sawtelle Blvd., West Los Angeles. This exhibit is co-sponsored by three IPA affiliate organizations in Los Angeles- Los Angeles Institute and Society for Psychoanalytic Studies (LAISPS), Psychoanalytic Center of California (PCC) and New Center for Psychoanalysis (NCP). According to the artist, the Freud on Freud exhibit "focuses on the interplay between my conceptual Sculptures and Freud's theories." Conceptually she references Freud's dream work with ideas and images both compressed and displaced by substitutes to make physical – in sculptural terms - some of Freud's written concepts. “My hope for this physical interpretation of some of Freud's works is to go some way towards continuing Freud's work of helping us who are at war with ourselves and others.” Jane McAdam Freud is a conceptual sculptor and multi-disciplinary artist educated at Central St. Martin’s and the Royal College of Art in London. She won the British Art Medal scholarship, the Italian State Mint Prize, and Freedom of the City of London. She exhibits both nationally and internationally and her work has been acquired for numerous international Public Collections including the British Museum, Berlin State Museum, National Gallery of Greece, National Gallery Archives London and is on permanent display at the Victoria and Albert Museum. “My sculpture has always been concerned with duality and the edges where art and psychology meet.” Esther Dreifuss-Kattan, PhD, the exhibition co-curator, is helping coordinate the opening celebration/reception on Sunday, September 19, 2010 from 4 pm- 6:30 pm which will bring together the Los A ngeles psychoanalytic community, the mental health community and the academic and arts community. At the opening reception there will be an opportunity to meet McAdam Freud and a program that includes an interview with the artist, screening of her short film. |

| Posted: 9/22/2009 Elyn Saks is awarded MacArthur Genius Grant Elyn Saks, an advanced research clinical associate at the New Center for Psychoanalysis, was one of the 24 recipients of the 2009 MacArthur Genius Grant awards. Ms. Saks is also the Orrin B. Evans Professor of Law, Psychology, and Psychiatry and the Behavioral Sciences, University of Southern California Law School.
from Associated Press ...
Elyn Saks, 53, said the money will allow her to continue educating people about the lives of those with severe mental illness, the kind of thing she did with a book about her own struggles with schizophrenia.
"I want to make a difference in how people see schizophrenia," said Saks, a professor at the University of Southern California's law school, whose memoir, "The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness," came out in 2007.
To that end, she said she is working on a book about "high functioning people with schizophrenia" such as herself.
"I hope my book and other books like it give people more understanding and more sympathy and more empathy."
Since 1981 the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation has annually awarded these fellowships to U.S. citizens and residents, who are working creatively in their respective fields, to support and encourage their future work.
