Counterpoint: Is it ethically appropriate for physicians to offer to pray with patients in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit)? No
Psychiatry's need for Vergangenheitsbewältigung: ‘culture wars’, cognitive dissonance and coming to terms with the past
UK psychiatry's sense of self rests on being part of a socially progressive national tradition. This makes it difficult to engage with more critical narratives. The process of analysing and accepting psychiatry's past can help our profession to get closer to its real self and on a path to a better future

Western Australian hay producers have a foothold in the lucrative Japanese market for forage products. The industry hopes to export about 30,000 tonnes in 1990-91
Breaking out of the citadel: social theory and psychiatry
British psychiatry has tended to hold itself aloof from social theory. Nonetheless, these ideas have influenced the development of mental health services. Alongside this, the biopsychosocial model cannot reconcile contradictions in the scientific evidence regarding mental illness. We need to develop a more constructive understanding of the implications of social theory
Asymmetry in transitional pipe flow of drag-reducing polymer solutions
New experimental data are presented and discussed for fully developed pipe flow of shear-thinning, viscoelastic polymer solutions in the transitional regime between laminar and turbulent flow. The data confirm that such transitional flows exhibit significant departures from axisymmetry in contrast to the fully developed pipe flow of Newtonian fluids or both laminar and turbulent flows of such drag-reducing liquids. The azimuthal structure of the asymmetry is investigated together with its axial development and also the velocity fluctuation levels. These data do not lead to an explanation for the asymmetry but do suggest that the influence of the flow geometry both upstream and downstream can be ruled out
