Discovering the Freud wars: Henri F. Ellenberger and the polarized history of psychotherapy in France (circa 1970)
No full textThe text examines the reception in France of the work of Henri F. Ellenberger, a psychiatrist and historian and the author of The Discovery of the Unconscious (1970). In this book, Ellenberger offers a non-Freudian history of dynamic psychiatry, highlighting contributions by Janet, Adler, and Jung to develop a more pluralistic view of psychotherapeutic practices. In the 1970s, France remained strongly dominated by psychoanalysis, while other countries increasingly adopted approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy. This Freudian hegemony explains the resistance Ellenberger encountered in having his book translated into French. Despite his connections with prominent psychiatrists, his initial attempts failed. It was ultimately through the magazine Psychologie-founded by Jacques Mousseau and inspired by Psychology Today-that Ellenberger found a platform for his ideas, leading to the French publication of his book in 1974. The text emphasizes that the mixed reception of Ellenberger's work reflects a broader divide between therapeutic models. In the United States, his book fueled a critical reevaluation of psychoanalysis, while in France his contribution was often minimized or reframed to fit within the Freudian tradition. The article links these dynamics to deeper ideological polarization and the influence of institutional networks in defining what counts as legitimate therapeutic knowledge. Ultimately, the study concludes that Ellenberger, as both an intellectual and geographical outsider, represents a pivotal moment for thinking about therapeutic and historiographical pluralism-an approach that France struggled to embrace for decades.

No full textGoing Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.

Le Quaternaire au Basutoland (Afrique du Sud) (Succession et stratigraphie des industries découvertes dans le bassin du Haut-Orange)
No full textSUMMARY The author gives the main results of his study on the Quaternary of Basutoland (South Africa) and the stone implements discovered within. The study of the lithological faciès and topographical situation enables him to divide the Quaternary formations into several principal cycles which are in very narrow relation to climatic modification, cyclic themselves. A typical cycle is divided thus : 1) A period of sinking down of river beds : dry, cold climate, with summer stormy rains. 2) Lengthy stabilisation of the base level, formation of a broad alluvial plain of pebbles and gravel (it will eventually become a terrace) — cold and damp climate in winter (pluvio-glaciation). 3) Blanketting by non-stratified silts of eolian origin; filling up of the thalwegs (with marshes) = dry climate in winter, wet and mild in Summer. 4) Slight to moderate denudation (sheet erosion), with loosening and surface eolisation of stones = accentuation of the preceding climate, dry and cold "winter, very dry and hot summer with scarce and late rainfalls. The study of the Quaternary all over Basutoland, but mainly about Maphutseng (Mohale's Hoek district), has enabled the author to discover numerous stone cultures (a), in the alluvial terraces, (b) in the eolian silts (which can be observed, even as weathered remnants, in the three last main cycles), and (c) mixed up in residual gravel beds left on the eroded country rock or previous Quaternary deposits, after the washing out during erosion periods. A remarquably complete scale is thus obtained, that stretches from the Pre-Stellenbosch (Oldowan) crude implements in terrace IV, to the tools cut by Bushmen up to the last century. The last cycle alone is quite complex : three phases of successive filling up by silts alternating with erosion, with numerous cultures (the author also draws attention to a rich deposit of Insects in terrace number I, about the end of the last pluvio-glaciation).SUMMARY The author gives the main results of his study on the Quaternary of Basutoland (South Africa) and the stone implements discovered within.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Development and validation of employment-specific assessment instruments in German MS patients
No full textCowpox virus infection associated with a streptococcal septicaemia in a foal
No full textCowpox virus infection associated with a streptococcal septicaemia was diagnosed in a weak German Warmblood filly, born 29 days prematurely, and humanely destroyed on the sixth day of life. At necropsy, ulcerative lesions in the alimentary tract, colitis, polyarthritis and nephritis were observed. Transmission electron microscopical examination of specimens from ulcerative lesions revealed typical orthopox virions. Cowpox virus was unequivocally identified by virological and molecular-biological methods. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
