About The Regulars' Table
From Chapter 1:
Ten years ago, I was a psychoanalyst in a beautiful coastal community. Often, I was struck by an awareness of the
abyss between the beauty of my surroundings and the gulag of my interior world. How I became aware of these feelings, why they were such important signals, and what they ultimately revealed to me provided the genesis for this book. There were a multitude of personal questions as to why I had these feelings. What was my cultural context as I practiced and lived? My subjective experience as a psychoanalyst in this gulag? The Siberia-like experience did not have much in common with life by the sea. But then, one part of psychoanalysis is about what is beneath that surface.

Science or fiction, poetry or facts? It is all this. With Christina Griffin we embark on the atmosphere of a historic migration trail departing from a tiny geographical place in central Europe which leads us over the Ocean. It is the journey of a conquest of the north-atlantic world by the 20th century's Budapest culture - intertwined with Psychoanalysis in an embrace, bringing innovative ideas and different sensibilities to the New Continent. Among them: love, closeness, understanding and tolerance as a message. This volume lets you feel the atmosphere of a fairytale which could become reality.
