Abstract

The intent of this paper is to examine the inherent contradictions in the practice of psychotherapy that, if left unexamined, ruin the emancipatory prospects that it holds. Critical theory and, more specifically, Jurgen Habermas' theory of communicative action is utilized as a starting point for reconceptualizing psychotherapy. This paper then establishes a phenomenological and ethical basis for solidarity despite the power differences and conflicting goals for therapists and clients. It draws heavily on a consideration of intersubjectivity and the self as fundamentally relational as conceived by theorists such as Schutz, Levinas, and Vygotsky. Through such an analysis psychotherapy will be constituted consciously as a free space for critique, dissent and action, allowing for a core experience of one's self as a source of power in the social field that will foster replication in society at large.

Abstract

We investigated the utility of [3H]puromycin as an alternate and adjunct precursor to amino acids for measuring protein synthetic activity in rat liver slices. Slices were incubated in the presence of either [3H]puromycin or radiolabeled valine to compare the incorporation of these isotopic precursors into nascent hepatocellular proteins. Compared to liver slices from controls, comparable decreases in the incorporation of both [3H]puromycin and labeled valine were observed in experiments using slices from fasted rats and in slices preincubated with 25 mw ethanol. Radiolabeling of nascent polypeptides with either [3H]puromycin or labeled valine in liver slices from rats fed a liquid diet containing ethanol was also decreased compared to slices from pair-fed control and chow-fed animals. Our results demonstrated the validity of using [3H]puromycin to detect changes in protein synthetic activity under these conditions. The potential advantage of using [3H]puromycin for in vivo studies is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
