The successful transference of hypersensitiveness to tuberculin from man to animals is the crucial evidence that has been needed to substantiate the theory of yon Pirquet, Richet, and others, that the tuberculin reaction is a true anaphylactic phenomenon.. On this most important phase of anaphylaxis, a large amount of literature has already appeared, but the results of the experiments reported ...

Early clinical placements in dance movement therapy are students’ first encounters with the discipline as practiced. Clinical placement accentuates differences between class work, study and movement experientials (somatic learning) with other “normal urban neurotics,” and the actual needs and expressions of clinical populations. A student’s remembered perspective produces a less complicated vie...

An increasing number of publications examine the disturbing effects on clinicians of witnessing or learning of trauma experienced by their patients. This vicarious traumatisation is described in various terms, including secondary victimisation, secondary survival, emotional contagion, counter-transference, burnout and compassion fatigue. It is generally accepted that, while they have significan...

WE USED TOIVIAINEN AND KRUMHANSL’S (2003) concurrent probe-tone technique to track Indian and Western musicians’ tonal-hierarchy profiles through modulations in Carnātic (South Indian classical) music. Changes of mode (rāgam) are particularly interesting in Carnātic music because of the large number of modes (more than 300) in its tonal system. We first had musicians generate profiles to establ...

The expression of sexual feelings toward the therapist is a common development in psychotherapy regardless of the gender constellation of the dyad. Much of the literature on this topic has been written about female patients by male therapists, though, and some authors (1, 2) have suggested that male patients either are too inhibited to express sexual feelings to a female therapist or tend to ac...

We tested a novel process we term implicit homophily in which perceivers' implicit outgroup bias shapes their affiliative responses toward ingroup targets with outgroup friends as a function of perceived similarity. Across 4 studies, we tested implicit homophily in the context of racial groups. We found that White participants with higher implicit anti-Black bias reported less affiliative respo...

This article provides a review of research on the relationship between aspects of transference interpretation and outcome in dynamic psychotherapy. It also presents the results of a recently completed study that focused on 2 aspects of transference interpretations, concentration and correspondence. Significant relationships between each of these 2 aspects and both therapeutic alliance and outco...

In 1998, Kleinbock & Margulis [KM98] established a conjecture of V.G. Sprindzuk in metrical Diophantine approximation (and indeed the stronger Baker-Sprindzuk conjecture). In essence the conjecture stated that the simultaneous homogeneous Diophantine exponent w0(x) = 1/n for almost every point x on a non-degenerate submanifold M of Rn. In this paper the simultaneous inhomogeneous analogue of Sp...

Many amateur athletes believe that using a professional athlete's equipment can improve their performance. Such equipment can be said to be affected with positive contagion, which refers to the belief of transference of beneficial properties between animate persons/objects to previously neutral objects. In this experiment, positive contagion was induced by telling participants in one group that...

Firefighters routinely encounter physical demands that contribute to countless musculoskeletal injuries. Seemingly, a progressive prescription for fitness would offer superior protection against intrinsic job risks. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of two resistance training interventions on fitness adaptations among firefighters, and to assess the degree of transfer t...
