Fibring is a general mechanism for combining logics that provides valuable insight on designing and understanding complex logical systems. Mostly, the research on fibring has focused on its model and proof-theoretic aspects, and on transference results for relevant metalogical properties. Conservativity, however, a property that lies at the very heart of the original definition of fibring, has ...

Davanloo’s intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy is a brief dynamic therapy that focuses on transference feelings and resistance. By doing so, therapist and patient can work together to enable the patient to have a full experience of unconscious feelings – namely rage, grief and guilt. However, this experience of unconscious feelings is not the only therapeutic factor. In addition, the the...

The staff of correctional facilities voluntarily work in prisons. It seems plausible that the professionals, officers, and administrators engaged in such employment may have unconscious feelings of a desire or need for punishment. This topic does, in fact, appear common in the jokes and casual conversation in such facilities, perhaps indicating such an underlying theme. Indeed, those employees ...

Transference and countertransference are important concepts in the therapist-patient relationship in psychiatry. They are also important elements of the courtroom setting and the court interpreter's verbalizations. Transference and countertransference are defined and illustrated in both the psychotherapeutic setting and the courtroom setting with interpreters. The role of the forensic psychiatr...

This article aims to review the importance, place and especially the emotional impact of non-verbal communication in psychiatry. The paper argues that while biological psychiatry is in the ascendency with increasing discoveries being made about the functioning of the brain and psycho-pharmacology, it is important to try and understand what is happening between psychiatrist and patient. The impo...

The periodic transference of nucleotide strings in bacterial and archaeal complete genomes is investigated by using the metric representation and the recurrence plot method. The generated periodic correlation structures exhibit four kinds of fundamental transferring characteristics: a single increasing period, several increasing periods, an increasing quasi-period and almost noincreasing period...

In order to circumvent difficulties associated with synthesising anti-windup compensators for systems containing exponentially unstable modes, we propose an alternative strategy for such systems. By elaborating on some recent results, we cast the anti-windup problem as a problem of stabilising a specially constructed outer loop, which is “wrapped around” the nominal system. One of the central i...

This paper establishes a framework for considering the use of private finance in the development of transport infrastructure and applies it to examples drawn from United Kingdom experiences. The framework highlights the key issues of risk (and especially risk transference) and transactions costs in determining the effectiveness of different private finance options. The examples used range from ...

In connection with controversial IJP articles by Stern et al. and Fonagy on the interpretation of the repressed and the recovery of past memories, the author maintains that the affect that is inherent in positive transference is at the heart of therapeutic action. Points of view put forward in the controversy (based on neurobiological knowledge) are related to Freudian metapsychology, as well a...

Introduction The current debate about high development land prices should end with a solution 10 a problem that has dogged this country since the introduction of ronnal planning in the J 96Os. Then, as now, the spectacular transfer of wealth to panicular landowners on foot of planning decisions generated a sense of injustice about a system that was supposed to work in the interests of Ihe state...
