Countertransference: The Psychoanalyst's Shared Experience and Inquiry with his Patient Benjamin Wolstein From all that has been said about countertransference during the last 70 years, I have selected for discussion a theme that has not received the full attention it deserves; that of countertransference as part of a field of experience and inquiry, belonging as much to that field for shared e...

In this essay we discuss the concept of counter-transference based on some of Melanie Klein’s unpublished notes from the archives in the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, in London. Hence, the discussion here incorporates material that has never been published before1. Until 1950 the most commonly accepted conception of counter-transference was that of Freud, who saw it as an obst...

INTRODUCTION Even though it is expected that patients and therapist will agree on when to terminate psychotherapy, quite often patients discontinue treatment on their own. This study aims to better understand dropout in psychoanalytic psychotherapy (PP). METHOD Baseline and post-treatment interviews were conducted with six adult women classified by their therapists as dropout patients at a PP...

Ion conducting gel polymer electrolytes based on poly acrylonitrle (PAN) complexed with different weight percent ratios of Sodium Fluoride (NaF) salt were prepared by using solution cast technique. Structural characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscope technique. From the X-rd results increase in amorphous phase with...

The time variation in emf caused by pressure differences has been used to find transference coefficients of water as well as water permeabilities in ion exchange membranes. Previous experimental methods have been corrected and facilitated. The cation exchange membrane CR61 AZL 386 was investigated. Equilibrium solutions contained 10-4 kmol_m-3 < CKC~ < 10-1 kmol_m-3, or constant concentration o...

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...

We explain how the Transference Principles from Diophantine approximation can be interpreted in terms of geometry of the locally symmetric spaces Tn = SO(n)\SL(n,R)/SL(n,Z) with n ≥ 2, and how, via this dictionary, they become transparent geometric remarks and can be easily proved. Indeed, a finite family of linear forms is naturally identified to a locally geodesic ray in a space Tn and the wa...

OBJECTIVES To analyse the effects of an intervention on cross-regional transfer of tuberculosis (TB) patients among floating population. METHODS On 1 October 2008, the 1-year intervention started by strengthening patients' health education, supervising medical treatments at critical phases, assisting in the transference of TB patients and persisting communication with TB dispensaries outside ...
