Notes on Psychoanalytic Theory and Its Consequences for Technique

In this paper we will explore the relationship between psychoanalytic theory and psychoanalytic technique. We are interested in pursuing two questions: (1) Does theory have technical consequences? If so, what are they? (2) Can theories be compared? We are mindful of the state of our field and the nature of current psychoanalytic debates about theoretical pluralism versus common ground, paradigm...

Light microscopical diagnosis of rabies

Shadow casting; a technique to show surface texture in microscopical material.

Objects seen through the microscope by transmitted light are translucent in differing degrees. Staining gives a measure of differential opacity and contrast to biological material but, even here, the appearance, like that of an x-ray picture, is a record of relative opacities. Varying the focal plane, of course, allows a range of optical sections, and from this the surface appearance can be inf...
