“Driving To Unknown” – Teaching Counselling Psychology At Universities

The article outlines some major current issues of teaching and training for counselling psychology, in other words — theory and practice of psychological counselling. Well-developed British model of teaching and training for counselling psychology is described and critically analyzed. Some questions and considerations regarding this model are formulated. Some current issues of counselling psychology are discussed, namely integrative approaches in counselling psychology, and philosophical and ethical basis of this rather new theoretical field in psychology. Specificity of a therapist/counselling psychologist and client/patient encounter is outlined

Hypostases and Transformarions of the Concept of the Father in Psychoanalysis

The paper explores various psychoanalytic views on the role of the father in psychic life, in the development of an individual and society. The idea of the sacrifice of sexuality as the inevitable and tragic element of the oedipal structure is stressed. Mother’s and father’s functions in a child’s development are outlined. The differences in the understanding of the notion of the father by Freud, Lacan, Green, Mahler, Klein, Britton and others are discussed. The concept of the Third in contemporary psychoanalysis is outlined, theories of Thirdness by Benjamin and Ogden are compared

New Way of As2S3 Microtubules Preparation by Roll Up Thin Films Synthesized at the Air-Solution Interface

For the first time the conditions of synthesis As2S3 microtubules were defined. Investigation of the synthesized scroll-like structures was carried out by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscope.

Two methods to approximate the Koopman operator with a reservoir computer

The Koopman operator provides a powerful framework for data-driven analysis of dynamical systems. In the last few years, a wealth of numerical methods providing finite-dimensional approximations of the operator have been proposed (e.g. extended dynamic mode decomposition (EDMD) and its variants). While convergence results for EDMD require an infinite number of dictionary elements, recent studies have shown that only few dictionary elements can yield an efficient approximation of the Koopman operator, provided that they are well-chosen through a proper training process. However, this training process typically relies on nonlinear optimization techniques. In this paper, we propose two novel methods based on a reservoir computer to train the dictionary. These methods rely solely on linear convex optimization. We illustrate the efficiency of the method with several numerical examples in the context of data reconstruction, prediction, and computation of the Koopman operator spectrum. These results pave the way to the use of the reservoir computer in the Koopman operator framework
