Psychoanalysis is a family of psychological theories and methods within the field of psychotherapy that seeks to elucidate connections among unconscious components of patients' mental processes, and to do so in a systematic way through a process of tracing out associations. In classical psychoanalysis, the fundamental subject matter of psychoanalysis is the unconscious patterns of life as they become revealed through the analysand's (the patient's) free associations. The analyst's goal is to help liberate the analysand from unexamined ...

Psychoanalysis was first devised in Vienna in the 1890s by Sigmund Freud, a neurologist interested in finding an effective treatment for patients with neurotic or hysterical symptoms. As a result of talking with these patients, Freud came to believe that their problems stemmed from culturally unacceptable, thus repressed and unconscious, desires and fantasies of a sexual nature. As his theory developed, he included desires and fantasies of an aggressive nature as well. Freud considered these aspects of life instinctive drives, Libidinal Ener ...

In general English usage, length (symbols: l, L) is but one particular instance of distance – an object's length is how long the object is – but in the physical sciences and engineering, the word length is in some contexts used synonymously with "distance". Height is vertical distance; width (or breadth) is a lateral distance; an object's width is less than its length. No one speaks of "the length from here to Alpha Centauri", but rather of "the distance from here to A ...

In linguistics, vowel length is the perceived duration of a vowel sound. Often the chroneme, or the "longness", acts like a consonant, and may etymologically be one such as in Finnish. While not distinctive in most dialects of English, vowel length is an important phonemic factor in many other languages, for instance in Czech, Fijian, Finnish, Japanese, Hawaiian, Classical Latin, Latvian, Old English, Samoan, Thai, and Vietnamese. It plays a phonetic role in the majority of English dialects, and is said to be phonemic in a few dialect ...

Bond length or bond distance in molecular geometry is the distance between two bonded atoms in a molecule. Bond length - Explanation. Bond length is directly related to bond order, when more electrons participate in bond formation the bond will get shorter. Bond length is also directly related to bond strength and the bond dissociation energy as a stronger bond is also a shorter bond. In a bond between two identical atoms half the bond distance is equal to the covalent radius. Bond lengths are measured in m ...

Vara is an old Spanish and Portuguese unit of length. Varas are a surveying unit that appears in many deeds in the southern United States, and varas were also used in many parts of Latin America. It varied in size at various times and places; the Spanish unit was set at about 835.9 mm in 1801. At some time value of 33 in (838 mm) was adopted in California, and 33 1/3 inches (847 mm) in Texas. In the latter definition, one acre equals 5,645.4 square varas, and a square vara equals 0.717 m². The vara was introduced ...

The law of costs is typical of common law jurisdictions. In summary, the winner of litigation is entitled to seek an order that the loser pays for his or her reasonably incurred legal costs and disbursements. This is known as party-party costs. Such costs however do not necessarily include all of a party's legal costs. In a process called a taxation of costs, the successful party must file with the court a schedule known as a bill of costs which sets out the successful party's claim. An officer of the court ...

In economics, cost-effectiveness refers to the comparison of the relative expenditure (costs) and outcomes (effects) associated with two or more courses of action. Cost-effectiveness is typically expressed as an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) the ratio of change in costs : change in effects. In health economics a figure of US$50000 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) is often suggested as the upper limit of an acceptable ICER. There is lively discussion amongst Health Econ ...

The symbolic version of the phallus, a phallic symbol is meant to represent male generative powers. According to the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud, males possess a penis, but no one can possess the symbolic phallus. In Jacques Lacan's Ecrits: A Selection he includes an essay "The Signification of the Phallus," which articulates the difference between "being" and "having" the phallus. Men are positioned as men insofar as they are seen to have the phallus. Women, not having the phallus, are seen to "be" the phallus, within a he ...
