[haim@blueyonder.co.uk] Marie Coleman Nelson (1915-1998) was best known for her groundbreaking work in developing—together with her husband, sociologist Benjamin Nelson—the theory and technique of paradigmatic psychotherapy. A longtime member of the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP), Ms. Nelson directed that school's prestigious journal, "The Psychoanalytic Review," for 17 years. She also founded one of Africa's first psychotherapy training institutes, in Nairobi, Kenya, where she lived for more than a decade bridging the '70s and '80s. In so doing, she blended Western approaches with a profound respect for indigenous healing strategies, an attitude we see evinced in her article "Paths of Power." Vincent Crapanzano is Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature and Anthropology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. His extensive field research, often and profoundly informed by a far-reaching critical appreciation of psychoanalysis, includes work with the Navajo in Arizona, with the spirit-possessed in Morocco, with whites in South Africa, and most recently with Fundamentalist Christians and legal conservatives in the US.

Virginia de Micco, psychiatrist and anthropologist, is an Italian Psychoanalytical Society (SPI) candidate.

[tonymolino@hotmail.it] Gananath Obeyesekere was born and raised in Sri Lanka (then Ceylon), where he studied English literature. In time, influenced by the likes of Melford Spiro, Edmund Leach, Max Weber and Freud, Obeyesekere turned his attention to the larger historical and cultural-cum-psychological forces that were being played out in different political and social arenas. These concerns found expression in two works primarily: in Medusa’s Hair: An Essay in Personal Symbols and Religious Experience (Chicago: Chicago UP, 1984), and, with Richard Gombrich, Buddhism Transformed (Princeton: Princeton Univ. Press, 1981). There followed a culmination of the Weber-Freud enterprise (plus Ricoeur) in The Work of Culture: Symbolic Transformation in Psychoanalysis and Anthropology (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1990), a reformulation of the Lewis Henry Morgan Lectures Obeyesekere delivered in 1982 at the University of Rochester. In the last decade or so, Obeyesekere’s researches have resulted in The Apotheosis of Captain Cook: European Mythmaking in the Pacific (Princeton: Princeton Univ. Press, 1992) and Cannibal Talk: Dialogical Misunderstandings in the South Seas (Berkeley & Los Angeles: University of California Press, 2004), a book that combines postcolonial criticism with Freudian and other theories.
