Transference in perversion is characterized by specific problems such as a defiant and polemic attitude, erotic transference, projections, and aggression. Such transference poses particular problems in the treatment of perversion and might render analytical work with these patients impossible. The authors propose that Lacan's L‐schema can contribute to separating productive from counterproductive aspects of transference as it distinguishes between an Imaginary and a Symbolic dimension in transference. In this meta‐synthesis of 11 published case studies on sexual perversion, patterns of transference are analysed. On the Imaginary dimension, the authors found that patients with perversion tend to (un)consciously engage the analyst in a relationship characterized by identification, fusion and rivalry. On the Symbolic dimension, they found that perverse patients are able to question their motives, lapses, symptoms, and subjective identity. The thematic analysis revealed the importance of the position of the analyst in this work, which is described within the L‐schema as being the representative of the otherness in the Other. Implications for clinical practice and recommendations for further research are outlined.

Charakteristisch für die Übertragung bei Perversionen sind spezifische Probleme, zum Beispiel eine trotzige und polemische Haltung, eine erotische Übertragung, Projektionen und Aggression. Eine solche Übertragung wirft in der Behandlung der Perversion spezielle Schwierigkeiten auf und macht die analytische Arbeit mit diesen Patienten unter Umständen unmöglich. Wir vertreten die Ansicht, dass Lacans L‐Schema es durch seine Unterscheidung zwischen einer imaginären und einer symbolischen Übertragungsdimension erleichtert, zwischen produktiven und kontraproduktiven Aspekten der Übertragung zu trennen. Auf der imaginären Dimension beobachteten wir, dass Patienten mit Perversionen dazu neigen, den Analytiker (un‐)bewusst in eine Beziehung hineinzuziehen, die durch Identifizierung, Verschmelzung und Rivalität charakterisiert ist. Auf der symbolischen Dimension beobachteten wir, dass perverse Patienten in der Lage sind, ihre Motive, Fehlleistungen und Symptome sowie ihre subjektive Identität zu hinterfragen. Die thematische Analyse ergab, wie wichtig die Position des Analytikers bei dieser Arbeit ist, die im Rahmen des L‐Schemas als Repräsentant der Andersheit des Anderen beschrieben wird. Der Beitrag erörtert auch Implikationen für die klinische Praxis sowie Empfehlungen für die weitere Forschung. La transferencia en la perversión se caracteriza por problemas específicos tales como una actitud desafiante y polémica, la transferencia erótica, proyecciones y agresión. Tales transferencias plantean problemas particulares en el tratamiento de la perversión y pueden hacer el trabajo analítico con estos pacientes imposible. Sugerimos que el esquema L de Lacan puede contribuir a separar aspectos productivos e improductivos de la transferencia al distinguir entre dimensiones imaginarias y simbólicas de la misma. En esta meta‐síntesis de 11 estudios de casos publicados de perversiones sexuales, se analizaron los patrones de transferencia. En la dimensión imaginaria, encontramos que los pacientes con perversión tienden a (in)conscientemente comprometer al analista en una relación caracterizada por la identificación, la fusión y la rivalidad. En la dimensión simbólica encontramos que los pacientes perversos son capaces de interrogar sus motivos, lapsus, síntomas e identidad subjetiva. El análisis temático revela la importancia de la posición del analista en este trabajo, que es descrito por Lacan en el esquema L como siendo el representante de la alteridad en el Otro. Se esbozan implicaciones para la práctica clínica y recomendaciones para futuras investigaciones. Le transfert dans les perversions est caractérisé par des problèmes spécifiques: attitude provocatrice et polémique, transfert érotique, projections et agressivité. Ce type de transfert, qui soulève des difficultés particulières dans le traitement des perversions, peut rendre impossible le travail analytique avec ce genre de patients. Les auteurs de cet article considèrent que le schéma‐L de Lacan permet d'établir une distinction entre les aspects productifs et contre‐productifs du transfert dans la mesure où il différencie la dimension Imaginaire de la dimension Symbolique qui sont toutes deux à l'œuvre dans le transfert. Dans cette métasynthèse de onze études de cas de perversion sexuelle, les auteurs analysent les différents aspects du transfert. Du côté de la dimension Imaginaire, les auteurs notent que les patients pervers ont (in)consciemment tendance à entraîner l'analyste dans une relation caractérisée par l'identification, la fusion et la rivalité, alors que du côté de la dimension Symbolique, ces patients se montrent capables de s'interroger sur leurs motivations, lapsus, symptômes et identité subjective. Cette analyse thématique a permis de mettre au jour l'importance que revêt la position de l'analyste dans ce travail, travail décrit dans le schéma‐L comme le représentant de l'altérité de l'Autre. En conclusion, les auteurs passent en revue les retombées de ce modèle sur la pratique clinique et proposent des pistes de réflexion pour élargir la recherche. Il transfert nella perversione è caratterizzato da problemi specifici: tra questi sono ad esempio l'atteggiamento polemico e di sfida, l'erotizzazione del transfert medesimo e la presenza significativa di proiezioni e di aggressività. Questo tipo di transfert risulta particolarmente problematico nel trattamento della perversione, e può rendere di fatto impossibile il lavoro analitico con i pazienti che presentano questo tipo di disturbo. L'ipotesi proposta nel presente lavoro è che lo Schema L di Lacan possa aiutare a distinguere gli aspetti produttivi del transfert da quelli controproducenti – e questo per il fatto che in esso vengono concettualizzate due separate dimensioni del transfert, una riconducibile al registro dell'Immaginario e una a quello del Simbolico. In questa meta‐sintesi di undici casi clinici pubblicati aventi per oggetto la perversione sessuale vengono analizzati dei pattern comuni ai transfert dei diversi pazienti. Rispetto alla dimensione Immaginaria, si è riscontrato che il paziente perverso tende (in)consciamente a spingere l'analista verso una relazione caratterizzata da identificazione, fusione e rivalità. Rispetto invece alla dimensione che attiene al Simbolico, si è osservato che il paziente perverso è in grado di interrogare le proprie motivazioni, gli sbandamenti, i sintomi e la propria realtà soggettiva. L'analisi tematica qui effettuata ha rivelato tutta l'importanza, in questo tipo di lavoro, della posizione dell'analista, presentato nello schema L come rappresentante dell'alterità nell'Altro. L'articolo individua le principali implicazioni di questa ipotesi per la pratica clinica e avanza una serie di proposte per futuri sviluppi nella ricerca.

The benchmark Active Vibration Isolation System (AVIS) in this paper is a complex high-tech industrial system used in vibration and motion control applications. The system is complex in the sense of high order exible dynamics and multiple inputs and outputs. The aim of this benchmark is to compare difierent black box, linear time invariant system identification algorithms. Difierent large data sets are provided, enabling the use of both frequency domain and time domain identification approaches. The idea of the benchmark is to investigate both model accuracy and numerical reliability of the computational steps. Several reference solutions are provided, which demonstrate the challenging aspects of this benchmark already in the singleinput single-output case. The benchmark data and additional info are available on the website of Tom Oomen.

Accurate uncertainty modeling is of key importance in high performance robust control design. The aim of this paper is to develop a new uncertainty modeling procedure that enhances the accuracy of the ℋ∞norm. A frequency response based approach is adopted. The key novelty of this paper is a new method to address the intergrid error using local parametric modeling methods. These local polynomial and rational models enhance the estimates at the discrete frequency grid. Moreover, the presented methods are shown to enhance the intergrid error estimate. This is illustrated using simulations and experiments on an industrial active vibration isolation system. Compared to the local polynomial models, local rational models are able to handle lightly-damped resonances using far fewer data points.

While extremely relevant to many life science fields, such as biomedical diagnostics and drug delivery, studies on the size of nanoparticulate matter dispersed in biofluids are missing due to a lack of suitable methods. Here we report that fluorescence single particle tracking (fSPT) with maximum entropy analysis is the first technique suited for accurate sizing of nanoparticles dispersed in biofluids, such as whole blood. After a thorough validation, the fSPT sizing method was applied to liposomes that have been under investigation for decades as nanocarriers for drugs. The tendency of these liposomes to form aggregates in whole blood was tested in vitroand in vivo. In addition, we have demonstrated that the fSPT sizing technique can be used for identifying and sizing natural cell-derived microparticles directly in plasma. fSPT sizing opens up the possibility to systematically study the size and aggregation of endogenous or exogenous nanoparticles in biofluids.
