A Multi-paper examination of the history of non-erotic love within the psychotherapeutic dyad
These two papers seek to interrogate the theoretical, intellectual and personal histories of the management of love within the psychotherapeutic dyad. The first paper examines the foundational work of Sandor Ferenczi. The life and theory of Sandor Ferenczi provide insight into both the historic admonition and the presumed dangers of loving feelings in the therapeutic relationship. Ferenczi believed in the creation of mutuality in all analytic dyads. His refusal to subscribe to a hierarchical structuring of the treatment relationship led to his subsequent marginalization from the traditional psychoanalytic canon for nearly a century. On close inspection, however, he was a formative figure who laid much of the groundwork for current thinking about the intersubjective and relational approaches to treatment. Much of his life and theory can be understood through the lens of his relationship with Sigmund Freud. That relationship is closely scrutinized in the following historical examination. The second paper broadens this examination and studies its long -range impact on the theoretical canon, seeking to examine the steps that have taken us from the initially distant and non-mutual psychotherapeutic relationship to the more egalitarian and co-created format in which many clinicians are working today. Love, as a central concept and tenet of psychotherapy, is examined in both its absence and presence over the course of the history of psychoanalysis
Noise-free high-efficiency photon-number-resolving detectors
High-efficiency optical detectors that can determine the number of photons in
a pulse of monochromatic light have applications in a variety of physics
studies, including post-selection-based entanglement protocols for linear
optics quantum computing and experiments that simultaneously close the
detection and communication loopholes of Bell's inequalities. Here we report on
our demonstration of fiber-coupled, noise-free, photon-number-resolving
transition-edge sensors with 88% efficiency at 1550 nm. The efficiency of these
sensors could be made even higher at any wavelength in the visible and
near-infrared spectrum without resulting in a higher dark-count rate or
degraded photon-number resolution.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures Published in Physical Review A, Rapid

Nonpublication in the Eleventh Circuit: An Empirical Analysis
This Article examines the criteria used by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in determining whether or not a judicial opinion should be published. Through an empirical study and analysis, the authors conclude that the written rule governing publication offers little guidance to the judges and is often applied inconsistently within the circuit
Primary peripheral arterial stenoses and restenoses excised by transluminal atherectomy: A histopathologic study
Atherectomy is a new therapeutic intervention for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease, and permits the controlled excision and retrieval of portions of stenosing lesions. The gross and light microscopic features of 218 peripheral arterial stenoses resected from 100 patients by atherectomy were studied. One hundred seventy of these lesions were primary stenoses and 48 were restenoses subsequent to prior angioplasty or atherectomy. Microscopically, primary stenoses were composed of atherosclerotic plaque (150 lesions), fibrous intimai thickening (15 lesions) or thrombus alone (5 lesions). Atherosclerotic plaques had a variable morphology and, in one-third of cases, were accompanied by abundant surface thrombus that probably added to the severity of stenosis. Most patients with fibrous intimai thickening or thrombus alone had typical atherosclerotic plaque removed elsewhere from within the same artery.Intimai hyperplasia, with or without underlying residual plaque, was found at 36 sites of restenosis, the remaining 12 consisting of plaque only. Intimai hyperplasia had a distinctive histologic appearance and was due to smooth muscle cell proliferation within a loosely fibrous stroma. Superimposed thrombus may have contributed to arterial narrowing in 25% of hyperplastic and 8% of atherosclerotic restenoses (p = 0.41). Pathologic examination of tissues recovered by peripheral atherectomy is an important adjunct that may provide insight into the efficacy of vascular interventions and the phenomenon of postintervention restenosis
