Three phases in the development of Latin American films are identified. The first, consisting mainly of short films, also was the development of a theory of film, which involved the notion that the film is actually the discussion of the film. The film presents a subject, which the viewers then expand in subsequent discussion. The second phase produced longer films, which attempted more in-depth analysis of social & political reality. The film is half of a whole, the rest of which is the viewers' discussion & subsequent action. Common themes of this phase are the attempted imposition of US hegemony & the discovery of the history of the Wc. The last phase involved nondocumentary feature films & their uses. M. Migalski.

A review of selected talks & papers presented at the McGill U conference on planning for a nonsexist society, held in Montreal, Quebec, 20-22 Mar 1980. The papers discussed focused on a wide range of topics, eg: (1) discrepancies between ideology & everyday life in nineteenth-century Ireland; (2) research in progress on why so many women PhD candidates drop out of graduate school; (3) chemical dependency & women; & (4) battered wives. The feminist perspective that links liberation with more state intervention in private life is questioned. AA.

Describes how issues of class and politics, and the intense emotions they engender, emerge in the clinical setting and how psychotherapists can address them rather than deny their significance. This book demonstrates how clinicians need to take into account the complex convergences between psychic and social reality to help their patients.

It has been argued by the Frankfurt school that the Nazi holocaust was a special case of capitalism's obliteration of particularity in the effort to make reality into a system of commodities. This may, however, have been characteristic not of monopoly capitalism, but of the transition phase from entrepreneurial capitalism. A variety of perspectives on the relation between Jews & Germans at the turn of the century, which gave rise to this transitional situation, were presented at a conference held in St. Louis, Mo on 7-9 April 1976. Statements of participants are briefly summarized. The conference produced no definition of Jews, & was disturbing in its unwillingness to see the holocaust as other than a historical aberration. W. H. Stoddard.
