Review of Betty Cannon's
Sartre and Psychoanalysis

"Every once in a rare while a text comes along whose intellectual impact is such that it makes one want to shout: 'Please, whatever you do, READ THIS BOOK!' Betty Cannon's Sartre and Psychoanalysis is such a book... Her arguments and conclusions, as well as being stunningly original, shed light not only upon psychoanalytic practice, but (if implicitly) upon psychotherapeutic practice in general... I cannot praise this book too highly. For anyone interested in existential analysis, and most especially anyone practising such, Cannon's text is required reading. Thankfully, it is also pleasurable and eloquent reading, admirable for its clarity, authority and lack of academic pretension. In other words: a text destined to become a classic in the field."

—Ernesto Spinelli, author of Practising Existential Therapy: The Relational World and other influential books on existential psychology, in Existential Analysis, July–Sept. 1992, no. 3.

The BPI Networking List Story

Many of you have asked about how the BPI Networking List got started. Here's the story as we remember it.

The Networking List started out as a small paper list with contact information for about 40 people associated with the Institute back in 1992. The idea came out of one of Betty Cannon's consultation groups. We were brainstorming how to create more community and to promote cross referrals. We decided to create a list of BPI affiliates to further that project. The List grew over the years and is now an automated daily email digest where over 850 local therapists of all persuasions and orientations (and some coaches) post psychotherapy related messages. Messages are still monitored and approved by us to make sure that spam doesn't get through and that messages are psychotherapy related. Continue...
