Disruptions from a Traumatic Event: A Clinical Vignette

The paper presents a clinical vignette regarding the psychological assessment of a seven years old boy, following a traumatic event, an accident with a bus that resulted in his grandfather’s death. We wish to illustrate how the administration of projective techniques, like the Rorschach, can reveal several manifestations of the impact that the traumatic event had on the chil

On the kernel of a singular integral operator with non-carleman shift and conjugation

On the Hilbert space (L) over tilde (2)(T) the singular integral operator with non-Carleman shift and conjugation K = P+ +(aI + AC)P- is considered, where P-+/- are the Cauchy projectors, A = (m)Sigma(j=0) a(j)U(j), a, a(j), j = (1, m) over bar, are continuous functions on the unit circle T, U is the shift operator and C is the operator of complex conjugation. Some estimates for the dimension of the kernel of the operator K are obtained.Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (Portugal) through Centro de Analise Funcional e Aplicacoes of Instituto Superior Tecnicoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
