<strong>by Patricia Everett & Paul Lippmann</strong><br>
<strong> Tuesday, March 29, 2011, 5:00 pm</strong><br>
Psychoanalyst A. A. Brill maintained an active correspondence with his
patient Mabel Dodge Luhan, a writer and New York salon hostess. Luhan�s
analysis began in June 1916 and continued until she moved to Taos, New
Mexico, in December 1917, after which analyst and writer corresponded
for nearly thirty years. This reading from the Mabel Dodge Luhan Papers
presents a selection of letters that reflect the highly personal,
expressive, and exploratory nature of their correspondence. Luhan
recounted her dreams and reported on her current mental states. Brill
responded with advice, warmth, and forceful interpretations. These
letters provide views into often inaccessible aspects of analytic
relationships. Patricia Everett, Ph.D. is a psychologist in private
practice in Amherst, Massachusetts. She is the author of <em>A History
Of Having A Great Many Times Not Continued To Be Friends: The
Correspondence Between Mabel Dodge and Gertrude Stein, 1911�1934</em>
(University of New Mexico Press, 1996). A 2005 Beinecke Library A.
Bartlett Giamatti Visiting Research Fellow, she recently completed a
book manuscript entitled <em>The Dreams of Mabel Dodge</em> and is
currently editing the correspondence between Mabel Dodge Luhan and A. A.
Brill. Paul Lippmann, Ph.D. is a fellow, a member of the faculty, and a
training and supervising analyst at the William Alanson White
Institute. He is in private practice in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and
is director of the Stockbridge Dream Society. He is the author of <em>Nocturnes: On Listening to Dreams</em> (The Analytic Press, 2000).</p><p>For more information, contact Rebecca Martz: <a href="mailto:rebecca.martz@yale.edu">rebecca.martz@yale.edu</a>.</p></div></body></html>
