    Clinical psychologists have an ethical responsibility to monitor the nature and appropriateness of their attitudes toward persons with mental illness. This article presents the results of a survey of randomly selected clinical psychologists who were asked to rate the effectiveness, understandability, safety, worthiness, desirability, and similarity (to the rater) of persons with moderate depression, borderline features, and schizophrenia. The results show that psychologists perceive these individuals differently with respect to these characteristics. The results also suggest that psychologists disidentify or distance themselves from persons with personality and psychotic conditions. Implications for quality improvement and stigma reduction in the field of professional psychology are discussed

    Streamability of nested word transductions

    We consider the problem of evaluating in streaming (i.e., in a single left-to-right pass) a nested word transduction with a limited amount of memory. A transduction T is said to be height bounded memory (HBM) if it can be evaluated with a memory that depends only on the size of T and on the height of the input word. We show that it is decidable in coNPTime for a nested word transduction defined by a visibly pushdown transducer (VPT), if it is HBM. In this case, the required amount of memory may depend exponentially on the height of the word. We exhibit a sufficient, decidable condition for a VPT to be evaluated with a memory that depends quadratically on the height of the word. This condition defines a class of transductions that strictly contains all determinizable VPTs

    Un cas d’urgence qui barre l’horizon du lecteur : L’abbé C., de Georges Bataille

    Cet article interroge la manière dont le texte de Bataille, s’adressant singulièrement au lecteur, met en oeuvre une performativité de la fiction. Il montre en quoi L’abbé C. « barre » l’idéalité du sens et de la norme partagée, précipite le lecteur dans une instabilité de lecture et néanmoins l’inscrit dans une forme de partage susceptible de « fonder » une communauté. Cette lecture derridienne du texte de Bataille s’attache aux figures du texte (le double, le mensonge, l’enveloppement) ainsi qu’à la feinte que constitue le texte lui-même pour montrer en quoi la dramatisation et la fiction se trouvent être chez cet auteur des formes particulières de destination en relation avec une communauté d’expérience — et non communauté de sens ou d’interprétation : « [J’]écris pour qui, entrant dans mon livre, y tomberait comme dans un trou, n’en sortirait plus » (Georges Bataille, L’expérience intérieure, Paris, Gallimard, 1954, p. 148). En l’espèce de sa lecture, c’est une certaine notion de « vie commune » que L’abbé C. figure et représente.This article investigates how Bataille’s text, which targets a single reader, gives rises to a performance of his fiction. As well, it shows how L’abbé C. negates the ideal of meaning and of a shared standard and unsettles the reader’s take on the text, all the while fostering a certain sharing that could lead to the “birth” of a community. This “derridian” approach to Bataille’s text focuses on its figurative components such as doubles, lies or surroundings. It also seeks to expose the hidden aim of the text of illustrating how Bataille’s dramatisation and fiction act as unique conduits targeting not similar meanings or interpretations, but like-minded experiences. “I write for those who, upon opening my book, would tumble down its pages like in a hole, never to climb back out,” wrote Georges Bataille in L’expérience intérieure (Paris, Gallimard, 1954, p. 148, translation). Reading L’abbé C. brings forth and illustrates a certain sense of “communal life”
