Margaret Green gets personal! Tuesday, July 8, 2014. Outwitting History" - preserving Yiddish. Twenty-three years ago when I and my siblings were clearing up our parents' flat in Cape Town, I asked Lillian Dubb whom I'd met 10 years before at a summer Yiddish program in Oxford. What we should do with my mother's collection of Yiddish books. I think Chava Leah (which is how I knew her because we all used our Yiddish names that summer) referred us to the Kaplan Centre at UCT. I've forgotten most of the Yid...

Margaret Green gets personal! Saturday, March 21, 2015. The Quiet Demise of Zonnebloem. Sometime earlier this year, I arranged a meeting at St Marks District Six and when I gave people directions I told them to follow the signs to Zonnebloem. I was a bit surprised therefore when on my way there, I saw the sign had been changed to District Six. It gave me a bit of a lift - Wow! The City had given the area back its rightful name - or so I thought. And what is it about? It is a film. Southern Africa's arch-...

Margaret Green gets personal! Saturday, August 2, 2014. Maps Mapoyane and Gail Womersley. Earlier this year Gail Womersley. Gave a talk to the Cape Town Self-psychology group ( CTPSPG. About her 2 years working with Medecins sans Frontieres. She had raised the question of whether the kind of short-term work she was doing was ethically acceptable from the viewpoint of promoting the kind of changes to which long-term therapy aspires. A question I felt plagued by myself at the Trauma Centre. Account or one ...

Margaret Green gets personal! Friday, April 10, 2015. Rhodes Had To Rise in Order to "Fall". Photograph by Tony Carr. In an ironic twist the Rhodes statue which was finally removed from the grounds of the University of Cape Town (UCT) this week - 9th April 2015 - had to be "lifted" in order to "fall". But it could have fallen :. Who were disgusted by the students' behaviour yesterday should realize this. As if they wanted to destroy. It's scary for many people to see this. But actually it's human to ...

Margaret Green gets personal! Wednesday, January 7, 2015. An Intriguing Coincidence - World War One and the Rosetta Mission. In an almost perfect synchronization of events, the 96th Armistice Day marking the end of World War One. Which is always commemorated at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month was last year - the 100th anniversary of the start of the war in 1914 - followed on the next day by an extraordinary European collaboration. It was heartening to see that the spirit of human comrades...

Margaret Green gets personal! Thursday, February 12, 2015. Andre Brink - an appreciation. When I was living in England in the 1970's and 80's, there were two major reactions to my being a white South African. 1) Taxi-drivers and the white middle- and owning- classes would suddenly feel free to express racist ideas and opinions, assuming that I would be in agreement with them or. I don't know when I first discovered the books of Andre Brink. A Dry White Season. An Instant in the Wind. Was one such person.

Margaret Green gets personal! Saturday, February 22, 2014. Immigrant Analysts and the Search for an Emotional Home.

There was a chapter by Kirloff about the consequences for psychoanalysis in the UK from the immigrant analysts who arrived there fleeing from the Third Reich. A recent issue of Psychoanalytic. Features papers by two very different analysts: Glenys Lobban. Coined by W.E.B. Du Bois, to ...Having to...

Beyond Trauma: Where Is My Tree?

Margaret Green gets personal! Friday, October 10, 2014. Where Is My Tree? Everyone knew it was a crap present. Barmitzvah boys all over the country probably silently groaned when they opened the envelope and saw the certificate. Oh no! Not another tree in Israel! Sometimes if the donor was flush, it was six trees in Israel! But you couldn't say anything negative. How could we not be delighted and honored to help the Halutziot (the Pioneers) who were taming the land and making the desert bloom? I was not ...
