Some Fundamental Questions that Face the Normative Social Psychologist

Abstract: THIs paper is based on notes given out at the beginning of the Spring 1967 semester-long seminar for seniors and graduate students. In addition to furnishing a common background of assumptions, rules and problems for the assigned reading and papers, I hoped also that these notes would help keep the group in the realm of empirical and scientific endeavor. The catalog description of the proposed seminar read: \" Utopian Social Psychology: Seminar for graduate students in Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy or any of the social sciences. Discussion of selected Utopian and Eupsychian writings. The seminar will concern itself with the empirical and realistic questions: How good a society does human nature permit? How good a human nature does society permit? What is possible and feasible? What is not?\" The following is the text of the notes.

Pain in the Face

Abstract: inflammation.' In two of these cases a haemolytic streptococus was recovered as the presumptive causal organism. In one of these patients, as in the cases reported by Dr. Statham and Dr. Morton, there was a more rapid relief of the signs and symptoms of the pelvic inflammation once the device was removed than with antibiotics alone. While it is generally agreed that the occasional case of severe pelvic infection can occur in association with an I.U.C.D.2 3 it is with the lesser degrees of pelvic inflammation that there is a difference of opinion. We have recently pointed out' that there is a significantly higher incidence of symptoms and signs which could be attributed to pelvic inflammation in women who were using an I.U.C.D. with a cervical appendage (1121%) than in those using an I.U.C.D. which was totally intrauterine (2%). In our experience the pelvic inflammation responds to repeated courses of broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy occasionally reinforced with pelvic shortwave diathermy. It is only in the more severe cases that it is necessary to remove the I.U.C.D. In order to assess the sequelae and significance of this diagnosis of pelvic inflammation, a controlled salpingographic study of 50 cases was instituted following treatment for pelvic inflammation. Within this series were seven cases of bilateral tubal occlusion and 16 cases of unilateral occlusion. Localized tubal damage appeared to be present in a further 15 cases.' In view of this we would like to emphasize that the I.U.C.D.s that are currently available, most of which have a cervical appendage, should not be used in nulliparous women, or in women who wish to be sure of retaining their fertility potential.-We are, etc., NORMAN F.
