ELAN invites all Quebec artists and writers to fill out an ONLINE SURVEY

Author: Christina - Published 2011-02-14 16:33 - (4211 Reads)

The English-Language Arts Network launched a survey last week to gather information about the lives and needs of English-speaking artists and cultural workers in Quebec.

It's just 28 questions and takes about 10 minutes to fill out. Your experience is of great importance to help us understand the diversity of culture and conditions in Quebec.

Furthermore, any help you can offer in attracting input from other artists/cultural workers is equally valuable. I am hoping you will encourage your contacts and networks to participate, or help me to reach other organizations/networks that can offer similar assistance.

Introducing the book: Letters to a Young Therapist, by Vincenzo Di Nicola,

Author: Christina - Published 2011-02-10 20:29 - (5453 Reads)

Di Nicola is a true master of constructive inquiry, synthesis, and brilliant creativity. Memorable aphorisms leap from every page of this very wise, thoughtful, and beautifully written book in which the healing process of discovering and making meaning to help reorder the minds and lives of troubled persons is clarified. I highly recommend this book for all those who are or who would be therapists.

Armando Favazza, MD, MPH, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, University of Missouri-Columbia. Pioneer in cultural psychiatry. Author of "Bodies Under Siege."


AVAILABLE SOON directly from the publisher, ATROPOS PRESS, 151 First Avenue, Suite: #14, New York, N.Y. 10003. http://www.atropospress.com Also Amazon and Indigo/Chapters Books.
