This article examines the career of pioneer British psychoanalyst David Eder (1865-1936). Credited by Freud as the first practising psychoanalyst in England, active in early British socialism and then a significant figure in Zionism in post-war Palestine, and in between an adventurer in South America, a pioneer in the field of school medicine, and a writer on shell-shock, Eder is a strangely ne...

The enormous demand for individual psychoanalytic treatment in private practice, which is peculiar to American society, has created special problems of postgraduate psychiatric education in the United States. Many able young doctors are attracted to psychoanalysis by its high prestige and considerable financial rewards. As the result, there is a tendency on the part of some trainees to neglect ...

It goes without saying that mathematicians have minds — my two universityeducated daughters may disagree with that, but of course we know better. So why write a book about the mind of mathematicians? Well the first point to note is that one of the authors, Ioan James, is a mathematician — naturally. He may be known to some as he is the editor of the Topology journal. The second author, Michael ...

For instance, if I think that I am...

Prosodic transcription of spoken corpora relies mainly on the identification of perceived prominence. However, the manual annotation of prominent phenomena is extremely timeconsuming, and varies greatly from one expert to another. Automating this procedure would be of great importance. In this study, we present the first results of a methodology aiming at an automatic detection of prominence sy...

In this paper we will investigate the usefulness of the rhythmogram, a speech rhythm representation based on the Auditory Primal Sketch model, for the automatic detection of prominent syllables. This representation was compared to other features usually used for this task and it showed a higher performance in the identification of prominent/non-prominent syllables. A new prominence detection al...

The present analysis examined the interactive effects of articulation rate and position in phrases and utterances on the duration of syllables, consonants, and vowels in read French speech. Three major tendencies emerged. 1) Rate changes primarily affected vocalic segments. 2) Non-prominent (penultimate) syllables, consonants and vowels were more stable than their prominent (final) counterparts...
