“…We wonder if this piece of distorted thinking might have been a form of projective identification by Segal herself. Indeed, many psychoanalysts in the UK tried to ostracize Bowlby and discredit his attachment theory (Ezquerro, 2017).…”

“…It may also represent a loyalty to oneself and to the way one has worked with patients. Thus, to challenge existing theory and practice might sometimes be tantamount to threatening the meaning of one's own work (Ezquerro, 2017).…”

“…Within general psychiatry, Dr Malan is possibly best remembered for a multiple-choice question in the Royal College of Psychiatrists' membership exam where one has to match the psychiatrist with the type of therapy they are best known for (brief dynamic psychotherapy), but also for the really important finding that the type of therapy matters far less than the relationship the patient has with the therapist. Indeed, patients can explore more confidently and make progress more significantly when they perceived the therapist as a secure base, a key tenet of attachment theory (Ezquerro, 2017).…”

This hybrid piece of work aims to pay tribute to David Malan (21 March 1922–14 October 2020) who has been one of the great influences on open-minded psychoanalysis and psychodynamic mental health. Inspired by the work and ideas of John Bowlby, Michael Bálint and Habib Davanloo, over five decades, Dr Malan committed himself to finding effective treatments that would help the largest number of patients in the shortest possible time, and pioneered research into brief dynamic psychotherapy as well as into group psychotherapy. He came to the conclusion that the type of therapy matters far less than the relationship the patient has with the therapist or therapy group, since patients can explore more confidently and make progress more significantly when they perceived the therapist or therapy group as a secure base, a key tenet of attachment theory. More specifically, he pursued a new tradition of short-term psychotherapy that built a bridge between psychoanalytic and more active cognitive-behavioural approaches, and managed to live up to the high ambition for integration of science and meaning in psychiatry, psychotherapy (including group psychotherapy) and psychoanalysis.

“…Entre estos métodos se encuentra el de Steffensen como un caso especial, donde la evaluación de f ′ (x) en cada iteración del método de Newton se aproxima por la diferencia dividida de primer orden [x, x + f (x); f ]. El método de Steffensen ha sido ampliamente estudiado en [14,15,16] y su esquema viene definido por:…”

“…En segundo lugar, el estudio semilocal de la convergencia se basa en imponer condiciones sobre los operadores que aparecen en la función de iteración evaluados en la estimación inicial x 0 para así obtener la bola de convergencia semilocal. Esta bola está centrada en la estimación inicial x 0 y tiene radio R de manera que tomando x 0 como punto de partida, se puede demostrar que todos los iterados, dados por el esquema iterativo del método, permanecen dentro de esta bola y convergen a una solución x * del sistema, ver [30]. Este estudio de la convergencia se puede completar obteniendo la bola de unicidad de la solución, es decir, determinar el dominio en el que la solución a la que converge el problema es única.…”
