...contradict much of prevailing psychiatric theory. Crisis intervention assumes, for instance, that the deeply disturbed patient can be snatched at the last minute from committable insanity-and that the last moment may be the best time to try. It argues that relief of the immediate symptoms of profound emotional stress is far more urgent than any investigation into their cause. In effect, it proposes to substitute emotional Band-Aids for prolonged therapy, if Band-Aids will tide the patient over an unendurable crisis in his life...
...will quarrel with this decision, relating as it does to not only occupation of a key University building, but forceful ejection of deans and other personnel, and theft and dissemination of confidential University materials. The Faculty has also been construed in the press, however, as deploring with virtually equal stress the Administration's response to the seizure.

...buildings; even his architectural renderings have an Oriental look. The ukiyo-e "intrigued me and taught me much," he once said.

Shea concentrates on and sometimes interprets certain elements in the lives of Pushkin and Lermontov that stress their roles as political actors and as outsiders to the system.

In Lermontov's life, too, the political acts are highlighted: his eulogy to Pushkin at Pushkin's funeral (based on the real Lermontov's poem), dangerous because Pushkin...
...Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute contend that the dreams of REM promote a special kind of "emotional" learning. They believe that most dreams are unconscious responses to recent, emotionally intense experiences. If people are forced to go without REM sleep and its dreams, their ability to handle similar stress experiences the next day declines. In one experiment, Greenberg and two co-workers showed a group of volunteers a grisly bedtime film of an autopsy, measured the emotional tension that the movie provoked, and then let the volunteers have an uninterrupted night's sleep. When the subjects watched the movie again...
