Um psicanalista no hospital geral: possibilidades e limites de atuação

Desde a criação do instituto de Berlim, em 1919, primeiro serviço ambulatorial em que psicanalistas prestavam assistência aos neuróticos de guerra, a psicanálise não mais se limita às quatro paredes de um consultório particular. A aplicação da psicanálise se dá nas mais diversas instituições e o hospital geral é uma delas. Portanto, esse trabalho é resultado de um estudo realizado durante o estágio que fazia parte do programa da especialização em Psicologia Hospitalar do Instituto Central do Hospital das Clínicas de São Paulo. Além disso, encontra-se aqui também experiências decorrentes de nossa experiência enquanto pesquisador auxiliar do mesmo instituto. Assim, atendimentos à beira dos leitos do pronto socorro, de unidades de tratamento intensivo, de enfermaria, além de atendimentos ambulatoriais, discussão de casos e o trabalho de consultoria e interconsultoria com equipes multiprofissionais, são relatados nesta dissertação, numa tentativa de seguir a indicação freudiana de que, em Psicanálise, clinica e pesquisa coincidem. O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi dissertar sobre as possibilidades e limites de atuação do analista em um hospital geral, partindo da indicação lacaniana de que todo discurso traz em sua estrutura a marca do real, ou seja, o impossível de coincidir seu produto com a verdade, que é sempre não toda. Para isso, coloca-se em relevo a necessidade do retorno de cada um psicanalista aos fundamentos da teoria freudiana e da técnica da psicanálise para que possa não só entrar, mas se inserir em uma equipe multiprofissional. Além disso, partimos da teoria dos quatro discursos de Jacques Lacan para diferenciar a ética da psicanálise da ética aristotélica e a ética dos bens. Isso se faz importante para evidenciar que os limites de atuação de um analista no contexto hospitalar são mais éticos do que burocráticos. Posteriormente, considerando a avaliação como um dos principais efeitos do discurso capitalista no hospital, discutimos o sentido do significante eficácia em psicanálise, ao se diferenciar eficácia simbólica de eficácia analítica. Finalmente, delimitamos que as especificidades de atuação do analista no hospital refere-se ao método e não à teoria e, com isso, propomos a localização subjetiva como o que geralmente se faz possível no hospital em termos de entrevistas preliminares

Not thinking straight? A critical discourse analysis of the 2006 Irish High Court ruling in Zappone and Gilligan v. Revenue Commissioners and Attorney General

The recognition and protection of constitutional rights is a fundamental precept. In Ireland, the right to marry is provided for in the equality provisions of Article 40 of the Irish Constitution (1937). However, lesbians and gay men are denied the right to marry in Ireland. The ‘last word’ on this issue came into being in the High Court in 2006, when Katherine Zappone and Ann Louise Gilligan sought, but failed, to have their Canadian marriage recognised in Ireland. My thesis centres on this constitutional court ruling. So as to contextualise the pursuit of marriage equality in Ireland, I provide details of the Irish trajectory vis-à-vis relationship and family recognition for same-sex couples. In Chapter One, I discuss the methodological orientation of my research, which derives from a critical perspective. Chapter Two denotes my theorisation of the principle of equality and the concept of difference. In Chapter Three, I discuss the history of the institution of marriage in the West with its legislative underpinning. Marriage also has a constitutional underpinning in Ireland, which derives from Article 41 of our Constitution. In Chapter Four, I discuss ways in which marriage and family were conceptualised in Ireland, by looking at historical controversies surrounding the legalisation of contraception and divorce. Chapter Five denotes a Critical Discourse Analysis of the High Court ruling in Zappone and Gilligan. In Chapter Six, I critique text from three genres of discourse, i.e. ‘Letters to the Editor’ regarding same-sex marriage in Ireland, communication from legislators vis-à-vis the 2004 legislative impediment to same-sex marriage in Ireland, and parliamentary debates surrounding the 2010 enactment of civil partnership legislation in Ireland. I conclude my research by reflecting on my methodological and theoretical considerations with a view to answering my research questions. Author’s Update: Following the outcome of the 2015 constitutional referendum vis-à-vis Article 41, marriage equality has been realised in Ireland.

Shore Shapers: Introducing children and the general public to biogeomorphological processes and geodiversity

Coastal processes and wildlife shape the coast into a variety of eye-catching and enticing landforms that attract people to marvel at, relax and enjoy coastal geomorphology. These landforms also influence biological communities by providing habitat and refuge. There are very few field guides to explain these processes to the general public and children. In contrast, there is a relative wealth of resources and organised activities introducing people to coastal wildlife, especially on rocky shores. These biological resources typically focus on the biology and climatic controls on their distribution, rather than how the biology interacts with its physical habitat. As an outcome of two recent rock coast biogeomorphology projects (detailed at: www.biogeomorph.org/coastal) a multi disciplinary team produced the first known guide to understanding how biogeomorphological processes help create coastal landforms. The ‘Shore Shapers’ guide (shoreshapers.org) is designed to: a. bring biotic geomorphic interactions (how animals, algae and microorganisms protect and shape rock) to life and b. introduce some of the geomorphological and geological controls on biogeomorphic processes and landform development. The guide provides scientific information in an accessible and interactive way – to help sustain children’s interest and extend their learning. We tested a draft version of the guide with children,the general public and volunteers on rocky shore rambles using social science techniques and present the findings, alongside initial results of an evaluation of a newer version of the guide and interactive workshops taking place throughout 2014.

Winston Churchill and the General Strike

Exploring the myths and legends which surround Churchill's role in the 1926 General Strike this places his involvement in the events of that year within the context of his views of sympathy strikes from before the Great War. The continuing importance of these views is shown to explain the marked contrasts between Churchill's approach to the General Strike in May 1926 and his efforts to find a way to resolve the coal dispute which dragged on throughout the year.

En este informe se dan a conocer los principales resultados de un programa puesto en marcha por el Departamento de Educación y Formación, en marzo de 2001 cuya finalidad era la de romper con el bajo nivel de alfabetización y aritmética de la población adulta de Inglaterra, mejorar sus habilidades para la vida y elevar el nivel de calidad de esta modalidad de educación en todas las zonas del país. Para ello, se han llevado a cabo iniciativas que permiten actualizar la formación de los profesores en materia de alfabetización, lenguaje y aprendizaje de las matemáticas y se han desarrollado diversos enfoques para identificar a las personas con baja cualificación y animarlas a la participación en el aprendizaje.

Relativistic Archimedes law for fast moving bodies and the general-relativistic resolution of the submarine paradox

We investigate and solve in the context of general relativity the apparent paradox which appears when bodies floating in a background fluid are set in relativistic motion. Suppose some macroscopic body, say, a submarine designed to lie just in equilibrium when it rests (totally) immersed in a certain background fluid. The puzzle arises when different observers are asked to describe what is expected to happen when the submarine is given some high velocity parallel to the direction of the fluid surface. on the one hand, according to observers at rest with the fluid, the submarine would contract and, thus, sink as a consequence of the density increase. on the other hand, mariners at rest with the submarine using an analogous reasoning for the fluid elements would reach the opposite conclusion. The general relativistic extension of the Archimedes law for moving bodies shows that the submarine sinks. As an extra bonus, this problem suggests a new gedankenexperiment for the generalized second law of thermodynamics.

Gravitational deflection of massive particles in classical and semiclassical general relativity

We calculate the gravitational deflection of massive particles moving with relativistic velocity in the solar system to second post-Newtonian order. For a particle passing close to the Sun with impact parameter b, the deflection in classical general relativity is Phi(C)[GRAPHICS]where v(0) is the particle speed at infinity and M is the Sun's mass. We compute afterwards the gravitational deflection of a spinless neutral particle of mass m in the same static gravitational field as above, treated now as an external field. For a scalar boson with energy E, the deflection in semiclassical general relativity (SGR) is Phisc[GRAPHICS]This result shows that the propagation of the =2E spinless massive boson produces inexorably dispersive effects. It also shows that the semiclassical prediction is always greater than the geometrical one, no matter what the boson mass is. In addition, it is found that SGR predicts a deflection angle of similar to2.6 arcsec for a nonrelativistic spinless massive boson passing at the Sun's limb.
