Primal Therapy
Primal therapy is a Psychological trauma, trauma-based psychotherapy created by Arthur Janov during the 1960s, who argued that neurosis is caused by the Psychological repression, repressed Psychological pain, pain of childhood trauma. Janov argued that repressed pain can be sequentially brought to conscious awareness for resolution through re-experiencing specific incidents and fully expressing the resulting pain during therapy. Primal therapy was developed as a means of eliciting the repressed pain; the term ''Pain'' is capitalized in discussions of primal therapy when referring to any repressed emotional distress and its purported long-lasting psychological effects. Janov believed that talking therapies deal primarily with the cerebral cortex and higher-reasoning areas and do not access the source of Pain within the more basic parts of the central nervous system.Janov, A., ''Prisoners of Pain'', Introduction Primal therapy is used to re-experience childhood pain—i.e., felt rathe ...

Primal Scene
In psychoanalysis, the primal scene () is the theory of the initial unconscious fantasy of a child of a sex act, between the parents, that organises the psychosexual development of that child. The expression "primal scene" refers to the sight of sexual relations between the parents, as observed, constructed, or fantasized by the child and interpreted by the child as a scene of violence. The theory suggests that the scene is not understood by the child, remaining enigmatic but at the same time provoking sexual excitement. Freud's views Evolution The term appeared for the first time in Freud's published work apropos of the " Wolf Man" case (1918b 914, but the notion of a sexual memory experienced too early to have been translated into verbal images, and thus liable to return in the form of conversion symptoms or obsessions, was part of his thinking as early as 1896 s witnessed in his letter of May 30 of that year to Wilhelm Fliess, where he evokes a "surplus of sexuality" that " ...

Glossary Of Classical Algebraic Geometry
The terminology of algebraic geometry changed drastically during the twentieth century, with the introduction of the general methods, initiated by David Hilbert and the Italian school of algebraic geometry in the beginning of the century, and later formalized by André Weil, Jean-Pierre Serre and Alexander Grothendieck. Much of the classical terminology, mainly based on case study, was simply abandoned, with the result that books and papers written before this time can be hard to read. This article lists some of this classical terminology, and describes some of the changes in conventions. translates many of the classical terms in algebraic geometry into scheme-theoretic terminology. Other books defining some of the classical terminology include , , , , , . Conventions The change in terminology from around 1948 to 1960 is not the only difficulty in understanding classical algebraic geometry. There was also a lot of background knowledge and assumptions, much of which has now ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Duality (optimization)
In mathematical optimization theory, duality or the duality principle is the principle that optimization problems may be viewed from either of two perspectives, the primal problem or the dual problem. If the primal is a minimization problem then the dual is a maximization problem (and vice versa). Any feasible solution to the primal (minimization) problem is at least as large as any feasible solution to the dual (maximization) problem. Therefore, the solution to the primal is an upper bound to the solution of the dual, and the solution of the dual is a lower bound to the solution of the primal. This fact is called weak duality. In general, the optimal values of the primal and dual problems need not be equal. Their difference is called the duality gap. For convex optimization problems, the duality gap is zero under a constraint qualification condition. This fact is called strong duality. Dual problem Usually the term "dual problem" refers to the ''Lagrangian dual problem'' but o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Primal (Eureka Episode)
The following is a list of episodes of the American science fiction television drama '' Eureka''. Seventy-seven episodes were aired over five seasons. In addition to these episodes, there is a short webisode series called "Hide and Seek", which was available on Syfy's ''Eureka'' homepage. The episodes of the first season were not aired in the order intended by the show's creators, resulting in small inconsistencies. However, these were supervised and controlled. In podcast commentaries, the show's creators and its star Colin Ferguson confirmed that the production order was that in which the producers intended. However, network executives changed the order to try to place the stronger episodes earlier in the run to attract viewers. The creators made minor changes through edits and they redubbed dialogue in later episodes (for instance, they removed the explicit mention of Zoe's first day at school) to minimize audience confusion.

Primal (video Game)
''Primal'' is a 2003 action-adventure game developed by Guerrilla Cambridge. and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. The game follows Jen, who has to restore balance to a group of troubled realms using demonic transformations alongside her gargoyle companion, Scree. Described as ambitious but flawed, the game received mixed reviews from critics. While its story, atmosphere, characters, voice acting, and high production value were praised, the combat, puzzles, and controls were seen as lacking. Marketed as one of Sony's potential new cornerstone franchises, it failed to meet sales expectations and a sequel was shelved early in development. Gameplay ''Primal'' is played from a Third-person (video games), third person perspective. The game features a mixture of action and combat sequences, where the player has to fight various enemies, or alternatively flee from or chase them, while also heavily relying on exploration and the solving of puzzles to adva ...

''Primal'' is set in an anachronistic vision of prehistory, portraying extinct dinosaurs, Ice Age mammals, early hominids, and post-metallurgy ''Homo sapiens'' all coexisting in a single time period, incorporating many elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror, action, and adventure. The first two seasons revolve around the journey of Spear (Aaron LaPlante), a Neanderthal, and Fang (Joel Valentine), a uniquely intelligent female ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', both of whom lose their families tragically in the opening episode. They join forces to survive their unforgiving environment together, eventually di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
