P-Value, Confidence Intervals, and Statistical Inference: A New Dataset of Misinterpretation
2017
Statistical inference is essential for science since the twentieth century (Salsburg, 2001). Since it's introduction into science, the null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), in which the P-value serves as the index of “statistically significant,” is the most widely used statistical method in psychology (Sterling et al., 1995; Cumming et al., 2007), as well as other fields (Wasserstein and Lazar, 2016). However, surveys consistently showed that researchers in psychology may not able to interpret P-value and related statistical procedures correctly (Oakes, 1986; Haller and Krauss, 2002; Hoekstra et al., 2014; Badenes-Ribera et al., 2016). Even worse, these misinterpretations of P-value …
Gadamer y el problema hermenéutico de la interpretación psicoanalítica
2020
Existe una posición privilegiada para analizar la relación posible entre la filosofía y el psicoanálisis, y esta es a través de la hermenéutica. No solo Ricoeur, multitud de autores, a uno y otro lado de la disputa, han expresado sus posturas acerca de qué comparten y qué distinguen al psicoanálisis y a la hermenéutica filosófica, que quiere servir de vehículo para comprender la esencia interpretante del ser humano. Debido a ello, autores como Heidegger y Gadamer se han visto llamados a expresar sus posiciones acerca del saber del inconsciente, para evaluar el modo de poner en contacto la esencia del psicoanálisis como talking cure y la referencia interna de la filosofía como diálogo. Con t…
The illusion of contact: Insights from Winnicott’s 1952 letter to Klein
2021
Using Winnicott’s theory, this article produces an account of the individual’s relation to a given conceptual framework. Whereas Winnicott’s ideas have been almost exclusively discussed in developmental and psychopathological contexts, the present article extends Winnicott’s theory and applies it to the problem of interpersonal understanding. Taking a lead from one of Winnicott’s letters to Klein, the article investigates the problem of expressing one’s idiosyncratic insights in the confines of a given conceptual framework. The article examines Winnicott’s theory of compliance and creativity, discusses the plea that Winnicott makes to Klein, analyses the encounter with a “dead language”, an…
Rorschach et maladies somatiques : Applications et éléments de validité
2004
Resume L'objet de cet article est d'offrir une revue des principales applications du Rorschach au domaine des maladies somatiques. Les etudes se rapportant a trois domaines sont presentees et critiquees (en allant du plus theorique ou plus empirique) : (1) La cotation des contenus par des echelles comme celle de Fisher et Cleveland (1958) ou de Masling, Rabie et Blondheim (1967) ; (2) Un ensemble d'etudes s'interessant a un “ facteur de risque ” psychosomatique (l'alexithymie) ; (3) Un groupe de recherches visant a evaluer les correlations des facteurs Rorschach avec les comportements de soin chez les personnes malades. Ces trois axes de recherche illustrent differentes logiques de relatio…
The body in adolescent diaries. The case of Karen Horney.
2003
The role of the body and its functions in the psychic life of the individual has occupied a central place in psychoanalytic thinking and writing. Developmentally, the body and the ego as a psychic organization have an integral, mutual relationship which becomes particularly important during adolescence, when the body matures physically while at the same time cognition, self-reflection, and social relations develop. This contribution presents results of the content analyses, focusing on the body, of 40 diaries written by twenty women during their adolescent years, compared with Karen Horney's adolescent diaries. In contrary to these diaries of the other young women, Karen Horney's adolescent…
The Meaning of a “Sense of Community” in a Finnish Senior Co-Housing Community
2015
In the foreseeable future, alternative housing options will be needed to meet the needs of and answer to the wishes of older people. Co-housing schemes are developed to fulfill the need for a housing type that provides mutual support and social contacts while alleviating the isolation and loneliness often experienced in ordinary neighborhoods. This study on a senior co-housing community in Finland asked what a “sense of community” meant to the residents and how a sense of community becomes visible in daily life. For these residents, a sense of community meant not only living with like-minded people but also communal activities, doing things together, learning from each other, and having rec…
Prediction of bleeding events in patients with venous thromboembolism on stable anticoagulation treatment.
2016
Attempts at identifying patients with an elevated risk of bleeding while on anticoagulation following acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) have largely been unsuccessful thus far. We sought to develop a clinical prediction score for bleeding during stable anticoagulation treatment after acute VTE.We performed a post hoc analysis of the pooled RE-COVER studies, two double-blind randomised “sister” trials evaluating dabigatran versus standard treatment in 5107 VTE patients.A score was derived from patients randomised to dabigatran using logistic regression analysis covering the complete follow-up period. The final model, named VTE-BLEED, included six variables and yielded a c-statistic of 0.72 …
Computational analysis to predict false-lumen perfusion and outcome of type B aortic dissection.
2014
We have attempted to identify potential predictors foracute and late aortic events starting from admission computed tomographic images.
Mitral valve annuloplasty and papillary muscle relocation oriented by 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography for severe functional mitral reg…
2012
Objective The study of the mitral valve apparatus and its modifications during functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is better revealed by 3-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TOE). To plan mitral valve repair by annuloplasty and papillary muscle (PPM) relocation, we proposed a valve repair procedure oriented by the new main features obtained by real-time 3D TOE reconstruction of the mitral valve apparatus. Methods Since January 2008, 25 patients with severe FMR before mitral valve repair were examined. Mean coaptation depth and mean tenting area were 1.3 ± 0.2 cm and 3.2 ± 0.5 cm 2 , respectively. Intraoperative 2D and 3D TOE were performed, followed by a 3D offline reconst…
Indirect assessment of an interpretation bias in humans: Neurophysiological and behavioral correlates
2013
Affective state can influence cognition leading to biased information processing, interpretation, attention, and memory. Such bias has been reported to be essential for the onset and maintenance of different psychopathologies, particularly affective disorders. However, empirical evidence has been very heterogeneous and little is known about the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying cognitive bias and its time-course. We therefore investigated the interpretation of ambiguous stimuli as indicators of biased information processing with an ambiguous cue-conditioning paradigm. In an acquisition phase, participants learned to discriminate two tones of different frequency, which acquired emotio…
