Adolescent sexuality in the light of group processes.

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is used to illustrate several connected theses regarding the relation of the couple to its surrounding social group: these include a couple's oedipal rebellion, the unconscious longing for and hatred of the idealized couple by the large group, the denial of aggression within the couple and its projection onto the group, the impotence of rationality and the conventionalization of sexuality in the large group, and the pervading dynamics of aggression in group formation. Pertinent psychoanalytic theories are briefly summarized, and this combined analysis is applied to the psychoanalyst's attitude regarding adolescent patients' love life.

A conceptual framework for outcomes research in arthroscopic meniscectomy: results of a nominal group process.

Standard measures for the assessment of arthroscopic knee surgery are needed, as existing instruments do not cover the full range of relevant outcomes. Using a modified nominal group technique, a panel of orthopedic surgeons and methodologists developed a conceptual framework for the assessment of arthroscopic knee procedures. The outcome domains included in the evaluation comprised traditional measures such as range of motion, complications, and other objective parameters, as well as patient-centered variables such as health status and satisfaction. Independent variables that might influence the outcome of surgery included traditional measures such as knee alignment as well as comorbidity and patient expectations. This conceptual framework should allow a more comprehensive, patient-centered assessment of the outcome of arthroscopic meniscectomy.
