RESUMO
The use of parallel computing in the finite element analysis of microwave heating applicators is discussed. Numerical results for a multiple feed cavity at 896 MHz and a cavity with a mode stirrer at 2.45 GHz are presented, and it is shown that for the two structures parallelism is most effectively introduced at different levels in the analysis.

Forty-two randomly selected patients were interviewed 2 to 14 years after termination of psychoanalytic group therapy. Comparison of psychodynamic changes in patients who stayed less than six months with those in patients who stayed more than two years gave a null result. The majority of patients were highly dissatisfied with their group experiences. However, there was a very strong positive correlation between favorable outcome and previous individual psychotherapy. Thirteen patients were then studied who were selected by their group therapists as having done well. These patients gave strong evidence of beneficial therapeutic effects, but such patients appear to be rare. These results (1) suggest how this form of treatment might be improved, and (2) raise questions about the appropriateness of transferring to group treatment the strictly psychoanalytic approach as used with individuals.

This work is part of a study of 45 neurotic patients who were seen for consultation at the Tavistock Clinic but who never received treatment, and who, by the time they were asked to come for follow-up, had never been interviewed by a psychiatrist more than twice in their whole lives. In a previous report, we described 13 patients who were at least "improved" on purely symptomatic criteria but whom we did not regard as improved on dynamic criteria. Here, we describe 11 patients who were judged to be improved on dynamic criteria. These patients are of extraordinary interest, providing not only direct evidence of therapeutic mechanisms in everyday lifean answer to a question posed by Strupp and Bergin in 1969but also, quite unexpectedly, evidence about the therapeutic effects of single interviews.
