Joseph Toynbee and his son Arnold: unpublished manuscript written by Adam Politzer.

In 1914, Adam Politzer (1835-1920) was invited to the Viennese Toynbee Hall to give a lecture. To prepare for his lecture, Politzer wrote a manuscript of 22 pages, seven of them are particularly interesting concerning biographical information on Joseph and Arnold Toynbee. These seven pages are presented in translation from German to English. Politzer particularly emphasizes the social qualities of these two men. This manuscript is representative of his high regard for Joseph and Arnold Toynbee. It completes the few existing biographies of Joseph Toynbee.

On this day of mothers and sons.

Telling a pregnant woman and her family about a fetal demise is one of the greatest challenges for maternity care clinicians. In this essay, the author reflects on such an encounter in her work as a community health center clinician, maternity care teacher, and mother herself.

On pins and needles: the invasive treatment of a son.

This is a case study of Corey, a 9-year-old latency age boy living with two mothers and without an everyday father in the home. Corey presented with separation anxieties stemming from needle insertions he was forced to endure at the hands of one of his mothers, a licensed pediatrician. His anxieties were exacerbated by the unpredictable rages of his father, whom he began to see more frequently and for a longer duration starting at age 8. The author concludes that despite the evidence of Corey's identifiable anxieties, she found no indications that he had failed or slowed in his oedipal development.

Paranoia and the ego-ideal: death of a salesman's son.

Since Freud's (1911) explication of the nature of paranoia, much has been written concerning the dynamic underpinnings of the illness but less have been detailed regarding its manifestations structurally. This essay, with its case illustration, attempts to detail the relationship between paranoia and the ego-ideal. Both Blos' (1974) ideas on the negative Oedipus complex and Kohut's (1966) ideas on the developmental line of narcissism prove to be useful ways of linking the clinical picture of paranoia to the psychic structure of the ego-ideal. Both technical aspects of treatment as well as theoretical understandings are explored.

Listening to Oedipus: two poems by sons about fathers.

Using the writings of Thomas Ogden, Donald Spence, Jessica Benjamin, Roy Schafer, Evelyn Schwaber, and others, the author discusses the "kinship" between poets and psychoanalysts. The author also attempts to demonstrate how reading and listening to poetry can greatly enhance analytic listening, as well as illuminate how language that is contained within a guiding structure, such as a poem or an analysis, can "surprise" us into new awareness and meaning. Two poems are chosen, in which the speakers describe their relationships with their fathers in order to evoke oedipal associations. A brief discussion follows of how contemporary analysts are using intersubjective and relational lenses in order to expand on and revise traditional oedipal metaphor and theory and capture new levels of meaning. Each poem is then analyzed to underline how the sounds and selection, as well as sense of language, reveal the speaker's inner world and process. Poetry provides a mirror for the increasing richness, scope, and dialectical play that can be found in contemporary psychoanalysis.

Substance use and mental health problems among sons of alcoholics and controls.

Data from a questionnaire sent to 864 university male students and nonacademic staff were used to compare self-reports of substance intake patterns and problems as well as family histories of depression and substance abuse across four groups: Group 1, 682 men (79%) who had no alcoholic first or second-degree relative; Group 2, 101 men (12%) who reported an alcoholic second-degree relative only; Group 3, 59 men (7%) who reported an alcoholic first-degree relative only and Group 4, 22 men (3%) with alcoholism in both first- and second-degree relatives. Although few men were already alcoholics or drug abusers and the groups did not differ significantly on the quantity and frequency of alcohol intake, there was an increase in the personal history of alcohol-related problems from Group 1 to Group 4. There were no significant differences across the groups on the proportion of nonalcoholic relatives demonstrating drug abuse or depressive disorders.

An atypical neurocognitive profile in alcoholic fathers and their sons.

Prepubescent boys and their recovering alcoholic fathers exhibited an Atypical Neurocognitive Profile consisting of (1) a reduction in amplitude of the late positive complex (LPC) of the event-related potential (ERP) during a complex visual discrimination task, and (2) reduced visuoperceptual performance evidenced by significantly lower scores on the Object Assembly, Block Design and Picture Completion subtests of the WISC-R and the Embedded Figures Test. Low LPC amplitudes were significantly correlated with poorer visuoperceptual performance. This Atypical Neurocognitive Profile may represent a marker for alcoholism.

[Myotonic dystrophy: study of clinico-genetic correlation in a pair of relatives (father-son)].

We report the case of a child with myotonic dystrophy (DM) with symptoms beginning at the age of seven, whose genetic study showed an additional DNA fragment, greater than of his father, an asymptomatic carrier. The clinical and molecular analysis of this parent-child pair are probably the first described in Brazil, since the recent discovery of genetic abnormality in DM by American and European researchers, that explained the long-debated phenomenon of "anticipation" in this disease. The main advances in molecular genetics in DM and its correlation with increasing severity and earlier onset of the symptoms in successive generations of a family are commented briefly.

The analysis of meiotic segregation patterns and aneuploidy in the spermatozoa of father and son with translocation t(4;5)(p15.1;p12) and the prediction of the individual probability rate for unbalanced progeny at birth.

Reciprocal chromosomal translocations (RCT) have long been recognized as important etiological factors in reproductive failure. In the present study, the meiotic segregation patterns of the spermatozoa of two related t(4;5)(p15.1;p12) carriers (proband and his father) were compared to the empirical data from a three-generation pedigree for risk assessment. Cytogenetic analysis of the metaphase chromosomes was performed, and triple color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was applied to the sperm heads. Similar patterns of meiotic segregation were observed for both carriers, despite the finding of teratozoospermia in the proband but not in his father. In addition, an increase of aneuploidy in chromosome 15 in the proband and aneuploidy of chromosomes X and Y in the father were observed. The high rate of miscarriages (6/10 pregnancies and 4/7 pregnancies after ascertainment correction) in this family could be explained by the genetically unbalanced karyotype and fertilization mediated by the unbalanced spermatozoa observed for both men at a frequency of more than 60%. The risk assessment for unfavorable pregnancy outcomes was predicted as 1.6% for unbalanced progeny at birth and about 30% for miscarriage. These figures may be used as guidelines for the genetic counseling of families with similar RCT.
