Welcome to LawrenceBlum.com

     This site provides some information about me and my practice of psychoanalysis and psychiatry. 
     For those who wish to acquaint themselves with my approach to psychiatry and psychoanalysis, or who wish to see how psychoanalytic ideas are useful in a wide variety of situations, the site also provides access to some of my publications.  My articles for professionals include the psychodynamics of postpartum depression, counterdependency, the psychology of physicians, the role of obsessive-compulsiveness in the history of psychiatry and psychology, the role of music in human development, and the psychology of the PhD dissertation.  The application of psychoanalytic ideas beyond the consulting room, especially in understanding social and cultural phenomena, has been the main focus of my articles for lay readers.
