Mourning And Melancholia

Abstract In these preliminary reflections, I propose a re-reading of left-leaning political projects’ attachment to the liberal idea of the “public.” I will argue that this attachment is a wounded one that forces nostalgia for the past and prevents dealing with present realities. I want us to attend to this notion of the public by attending to some ideas in psychoanalysis, particularly Sigmund Freud’s and specifically those of mourning and melancholia. This reading does not purport expertise in psychoanalysis and does not offer any kind of psychological diagnosis. I intend on reading psychoanalysis as allegory, as offering us imaginative devices for thinking about the present.

Conventional Methods

To the Editor.— In the March 1992 issue of Pediatrics, Freed and Fraley published an article entitled, "Lack of Agreement of Tympanic Membrane Temperature Assessments with Conventional Methods in a Private Practice Setting."1 This study concluded that the FIRST Temp thermometer was unreliable, compared with conventional methods of temperature-taking in the private pediatric setting. I would like to raise two methodologic concerns which may have influenced their results. Under "Methods," the authors state that their tympanic thermometer provided a choice of two modes: "tympanic" and "surface," They further state that the tympanic mode was used for all temperature measurements.

Group A

Redd and co-workers found the sensitivity of their rapid diagnostic test for group A streptococcal pharyngitis to be 62.8% and its specificity to be 96.9%. Furthermore, the positive predictive value of the test was determined to be 91.5%, sufficiently high to significantly influence the care provided to their patients. We strongly disagree with the authors' conclusion that their findings can be extrapolated to the general pediatric setting. Bayes theorem clearly relates a test's positive predictive value to its sensitivity as well as to the prevalence of true disease in the population.
