"TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK:" A REFLECTION ON JEREMY SAFRAN'S APPROACH TO PEDAGOGY.

Am J Psychoanal

Fordham University Psychology Department, Dealy Hall, 441 E Fordham Rd., Bronx, NY, 10458, USA.

Published: September 2024

The author reflects on how his relationship with Jeremy Safran during graduate school continues to inform his thinking around pedagogy and clinical training. Safran's emphasis on independent inquiry is highlighted, especially regarding the importance of seeking out perspectives and evidence that come into conflict with one's primary orientation. The author argues that Safran's pedagogical stance could be described as inhabiting a state of "pre-judgment," which is essential in both clinical and pedagogical contexts in the psychoanalytic field.

This approach poses potential problems. First, a single drug or perhaps 2 drugs, in this case, may have been sufficient as initial and perhaps final treatment.

The social life of creative methods: Filmmaking, fabulation and recovery.

Br J Sociol

December 2024

Artist in Residence, Centre for Health, Arts, Society and the Environment (CHASE), University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.

In this article we consider the theoretical and methodological implications of Deleuzian fabulation for research on recovery from drugs and alcohol as an alternative way of making and doing methods in sociology. The article draws on data produced as part of an ongoing interdisciplinary research collaboration, begun in 2019, with the visual artist and filmmaker Melanie Manchot, social scientists Nicole Vitellone and Lena Theodoropoulou, and people in recovery from drugs and alcohol engaged in the production of Manchot's first feature film STEPHEN. This project attends to the methodological practice of filmmaking as a way of thinking with and alongside colleagues from divergent disciplines about the role of methods, concepts and practices for confronting and resisting processes of stigmatisation.

People tend to be bad at detecting lies: When explicitly asked to infer whether others tell a lie or the truth, people often do not perform better than chance. However, increasing evidence suggests that implicit lie detection measures and potentially physiological measures may mirror observers' telling apart lies from truths after all. Implicit and physiological responses are argued to respond to lies as a threatening stimulus associated with a threat response.

It is thirty years since the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes were discovered and genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 was introduced. Despite increasing awareness of the genetic basis of cancer and our evolving knowledge of effective means of prevention, screening, and treatment for hereditary breast and ovarian cancers, genetic testing is underutilized, and most mutation carriers remain unidentified. In this commentary, we explore possible reasons for why this might be so.
