Spring Newsletter

For all members of the Psychodynamic Thinking Community

To all friends and members of the Psychodynamic Thinking Community

Appcios hosts a Community Site for everyone interested inPsychodynamic Thinking.  These are anxious and difficult times.  We all need to support one another’s thinking, to survive our present predicament and in preparation for the long term problems that will emerge over the next weeks and months.   

You don’t need to be a member of APPCIOS to sign up for our live group meetings!  Here’s a list.
 

Just Starting

  • A new group for anyone who’s interested in podcasts and videos.

    As a profession we have always relied on live discussions and presentations - and even if we are happy to present papers in front of an audience, many of us are reluctant to record ourselves.  But in these difficult times it's increasingly important to find new ways of making our thinking accessible, and we can no longer afford the luxury of diffidence.

    We need to learn fast.  This is a forum where we can develop our skills and encourage one another to use them.  Please send us an email here if you’d like to join our first meeting on Tuesday April 21st at 4.30pm. 
  • Focus on Zoom - to explore the transition to screen communication and its impact, both socially and professionally.

    At APPCIOS we are very experienced in working remotely, but we know this isn’t the case for all of you.  We have just started a series of meetings.  Please send us an email here if you’d like to join our next meeting at 5.30pm on Thursday 16th April.


Ongoing

  • Weekend Psychodynamic Symposiums.

    We convene a regular symposium space where members of this Site can meet for live discussions around papers, articles, books, films and poems.  This is an open group, and you won’t need to commit to regular attendance.  Go here to find out more, add your name, and join our next meeting on Sunday April 19th at 4.00pm.  PLEASE NOTE that this weekend’s meeting is on SUNDAY afternoon.
  • Self-isolating. 

    We are facilitating private groups where members can explore the experience of self-isolating. Two are already fully subscribed and a new group is planned.  Please send us an email if you would like to join.


Forward Planning

  • Growing New Groups.    We need more groups for new members.      

    New members are joining our Site all the time - and we are delighted to welcome them.  We plan to start a group to think about expanding our reach and providing new events.  We want to support our current members to start new Site groups themselves, so that we can offer more support to everyone who needs it now, and will need it still more over the months to come.   Go here for more information - or just send us an email.


And as ever . . .

  • If you’re having difficulties accessing the Site, take a look at our video instructions here.   And if you would like a personal guided tour, we can arrange that, too.   Just email us here.
     
  • And please keep posting comments (it’s really not hard to do) and join our ongoing conversations.  You can find them here -  Community Bulletin Board  - and here - Feedback on the Site - and in many other places, private and public, around the Site.  Just keep exploring! 

If you want to make suggestions offer your support or ask us a question,  you can always reach us at admin@appcios.info

Membership of the Site is free, but it does cost money to maintain it.  So if you’d like to make a donation, please do:  just go here.    

And please keep safe!

We look forward to seeing you.

With all our best wishes, 

Team APPCIOS.
