A hospital study of ice-making machines: their bacteriology, design, usage and upkeep.

Ice-making machines have occasionally been implicated in nosocomial infection. We have examined the ice-making machines in our hospital both bacteriologically and for their general state of cleanliness and repair. Results were variable but, in most cases few organisms of significance were found. Some design features are considered and recommendations for the purchase, maintenance, cleaning and use of these machines are included.

Dialectical metatheory in family therapy.

This paper addresses the controversy in family therapy over basic philosophical issues in terms of a historical opposition between demonstrative and dialectical metatheories. It argues that advances in family therapy are indicative of the growing prominence of dialectical forms of understanding in the social sciences. Several family therapy concepts are explored as representative of the dialectical categories of motion, form, relationship, and transformation.
