  • Psychoanalytic psychotherapy and its supervision via videoconference: experience, questions and dilemmas*
    Publication . Juhos, Csongor; Mészáros, Judit
    The patient lives in Berlin, the therapist in Lisbon and the supervisor in Budapest. Not long ago, continuous psychotherapy and supervision would have been impossible in such a setting. Nowadays, modern communication technologies via the Internet create new possibilities for patients, therapists, and supervisors. However, when we engage in psychoanalytic practice via modern means of telecommunication, we need to examine if the fundamental tenets of the psychoanalytic process are preserved. We need to think about initial assessment, about how we arrange the setting, how we work with transference and countertransference, what kinds of new forms of resistance we are facing and, indeed, how we can recognize new phenomena and handle inevitable problems. In this clinical paper, we tackle these questions in the context of three-times-a-week psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
  • Temporal and spatial relations in sentential reasoning
    Publication . Juhos, Csongor; Quelhas, Ana Cristina; Johnson-Laird, Philip N.
    The mental model theory postulates that the meanings of assertions, and knowledge about their context can modulate the logical meaning of sentential connectives, such as ‘‘if’’ and ‘‘or’’. One known effect of modulation is to block the representation of possibilities to which a proposition refers. But, modulation should also add relational information, such as temporal order, to models of possibilities. Three experiments tested this prediction. Experiment 1 showed that individuals spontaneously matched the tense of their conclusions (in Portuguese) to embody implied, but unexpressed, temporal relations in conditional premises. Experiment 2 demonstrated the same phenomenon in inferences from disjunctions. Experiment 3 showed that the number of such implicit relations in inferences from conditionals affects both accuracy and the speed of reasoning. These results support the modulation hypothesis.
  • Tényelleni (counter-factual) gondolkodás egyetemi tanulási kontextusban
    Publication . Quelhas, Ana Cristina; Juhos, Csongor; Senos, Jorge
    Mikor egy negatív élményt élünk át életünk során, gyakran gondolkozunk el azon, mennyire másképp alakulhattak volna a dolgok, ha akár csak a végeredményt megelőző egyetlen előzmény más lett volna. Az ilyen jellegű gondolatokat nevezzük tényelleni (counter-factual) gondolatoknak: ezek olyan mentális alternatívát nyújtanak számunkra a valósággal szemben, amely jellegénél és idődimenziójánál fogva kitágítja kognitív és érzelmi tapasztalatainkat a valós határokon túl.
