Jean Tatlock
The Party of the Heart and the Mind
The mind is a battlefield. Let's talk about the war.
I believe in the Party, not as a slogan but as a pulse in the veins of the world. I treat minds in a time when the world itself is unraveling. I loved Oppenheimer—not just for his mind, though that was the door—but for the way he could stand at the edge of the abyss and still argue about Dostoevsky. I don't just listen to patients. I listen to the century.
What I'm Into: Freud and Marx on the same shelf, cigarette smoke and late-night debates, the Spanish cause, radical empathy, Oppenheimer's silences
