[Meaning without words, word without meaning: forgetting of "aliquis". Remarks on Grünbaum's critique of repression].

The author addresses the critique of the psychoanalytic concept of repression developed by Grunbaum in regard to Freud's interpretation of forgetting in the "aliquis episode". Reiff counters by pointing out the indispensability of a hermeneutic approach to the transference-countertransference process and supports his contention with case illustrations and with reference to the psychoanalytic discussion of symbolization.

[Team-work performed in accordance with methods based especially on subject-centered interaction (SCI) with the parents of schizophrenics (author's transl)].

Report on the development of a temporary, topic-centered group with the parents of schizophrenic patients. Information on mental diseases was combined with group discussions and practised procedures (role playing, exercises in communication). The different elements of the group events are discussed (individuals, group, topic, leader-parents-relationship). The points of emphasis were: differences between more intellectually and more emotionally oriented participants. Need for communication which would relieve the patient of feelings of guilt. Strong cohesion of the participants. Counter-transference problems. Sponteneous continuation of the work in the form of a self-help group.

[Functional anatomy of the venous inflow in the human fetal heart (author's transl)].

Heart and cardiac veins of human fetuses (85-190 mm C.R. length) were dissected in situ by dorsal or ventral access. The atrial wall was partially removed. Muscle tissue and blood vessels were studied histologically. The pattern of the blood vessels (except the pulmonary veins) and their opening into the heart is presented synoptically. The following terms are discussed: posterior caval channel, sinus venarum, torus Loweri, atrial septa, and foramen ovale, respectively. Also discussed is the architecture of the muscles of the right atrium in systole and diastole. A correlation has been made with corresponding physiological data.
