Daniel Benveniste, Ph.D. is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist originally from San Francisco, California. His primary psychoanalytic influence was his independent training under Dr. Nathan Adler (a student of Siegfried Bernfeld).

In 1999 he moved to Caracas, Venezuela where he practices, teaches and writes.

Shevrin, Howard – The Dream Interpreters: A Psychoanalytic Novel in Verse

Webmaster — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:14:11 +0000

Before there was In Treatment, or even Be’Tipul, there was The Dream Interpreters. Howard Shevrin tells an intimate tale through the prism of seven psychoanalyses.
Shevrin says that he has written a novel with psychoanalysis itself as the protagonist, a novel in which the inner pulse of analytic work reveals itself . . . Written in free verse, it reads easily, at times like prose, at times like a well explicated play. This is an enlightening book for all mental health professionals as well as any reader interested in psychological motivation.  Price: $27.96 Publisher: International Universities Press, 2003. ISBN: 0-82361425-5

Almost all of the action is confined to the consulting room. Almost all of the characters interact directly with only one other, patient or analyst, in a succession of psychoanalytic hours. The backdrop is a Tennessee psychiatric institution in the 1960s. A new research director is being sought, which sets off a power struggle, revealing the participants’ inner anguish and complex motivations. Shevrin believes that, like ancient Greek theater, psychoanalytic work intensifies human drama and reveals the essences of human character and experience, the inner pulse, the rising and falling tides of psychoanalysis.

Bergmann, Martin S. and Bergmann, Michael – What Silent Love Hath Writ

Originally What Silent Love Hath Writ: Martin S. Bergmann and Michael Bergmann

Price: $15 with $5 shipping and handling media mail and $7 regular mail. To be published as an IP Books book later this year.

This book was originally published by Gotschna Ventures Press Pub. Date: March 2008 and is 440 pp.

In this study of Shakespeare’s Sonnets the authors, a psychoanalyst and a director, examine what the speaker (the “I” of the poems) reveals about himself to his readers. By reading many sonnets together the authors build up a picture of this character, one Shakespeare’s most interesting and unusual creations. The reader emerges with a thorough grasp of the major themes of Shakespeare’s sonnets.

The sonnets can be read together as if they are all spoken by one person and afford us a chance to get to know him by understanding what he writes and what he means in his various moods. Shakespeare’s sonnets, anxious in their homosexuality and angry in their heterosexuality comprise a most unusual body of love poems. Awesomely skillful and limitlessly beautiful, they a pleasure to get to know while also being deeply disturbing.

Review from a Reader on SpeedyText.com:

Quite aside from the tacit pleasure of reading Shakespeare’s sonnets, many of which were unknown to me, I found this a well researched and illuminating study on several levels. The authors give us a statistical way of looking at the collected sonnets popularity, a good dose of other shakespeare scholars opinions as compared to their own, a historical placement of the ideas and language of both the sonnets and their more persistent interpretations, and tie it altogether in their unique discussion of the sonnets psychoanalytic implications (mostly freudian based.) The work is both systematic and creative in its approach, and although the reader sometimes has to stumble through some awkward writing and excess repetition and re-explication there are many gems of thought in here to inspire scholars, students, and lovers alike. Worth the read.
