C. Richard Taylor, Ph.D., one of the world's leading authorities on
the interactions between animals and their environment, will present
the third annual Hermann Rahn Memorial Lecture at 5 p.m. Oct. 21, in
Butler Auditorium in Farber Hall on the South Campus.
	The lecture, "Running Machines: Power, Endurance and Animal
Design," is sponsored by the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical
Sciences, and is free and open to the public. 
	Taylor is the first Charles P. Lyman Professor of Biology at
Harvard University, where he received his doctorate studying under
Lyman. He has been director of the Concord Field Station of Harvard's
Museum of Comparative Zoology since 1970. 
	An active field researcher throughout his career, Taylor was a
research scientist with the East African Veterinary Research
Organization in the 1960s. He served as professor of animal physiology
at the University of Nairobi, Kenya, in 1977 while continuing his
duties at Harvard.
	In his laboratory, he has placed rheas, lions, kangaroos,
cheetahs, gazelles, horses, goats, rats and even elephants on a
treadmill to investigate temperature regulation and the mechanics and
energetics of locomotion. 
	He is co-author of two landmark series of papers on the design
of the oxygen delivery system in animals and has written numerous
articles in professional journals.
	A member of the National Academy of Sciences since 1985,
Taylor serves on the editorial board of the American Journal of
Physiology and is chairman of the Interunion Commission of Comparative
Physiology. 		The lecture honors Rahn, former chair of the
UB Department of Physiology, whose pioneering research in
environmental physiology helped provide the foundation for today's
aerospace and undersea medicine. Rahn died in 1990.

Falzeder to give
lecture on Freud
Ernst Falzeder is an Austrian psychoanalyst and lecturer at the
University of Salzburg whose archival research recently turned up a
case that illuminates Sigmund Freud's ultimate pessimism about the
curative powers of psychoanalytic therapy. It also underscores the
difficulty he had with "counter-transference love" for certain
patients.
Falzeder will discuss this case in a public lecture at UB, "My
Grand-Patient, My Chief Tormentor," to be held at 3 p.m. on Monday,
Oct. 18, in 608 Clemens Hall on the North Campus. 
His lecture is sponsored by the UB Center for the Study of
Psychoanalysis and Culture and the Department of Modern Languages and
Literatures. 
Falzeder is co-editor of the Ferenczi-Freud correspondence (Harvard
University Press) and former research fellow at the Balint Archives at
the University of Geneva. He has published on the history, theory and
practice of psychoanalysis.
His talk will focus on the relationship between Freud and one of his
hitherto unnoticed, but extremely important, patients--the
extraordinary Frau Elfriede Hirschfeld, a woman who not only
fascinated Freud, but nearly drove him crazy with her resistance to
all forms of therapy. Her treatment and its final failure marked a
turning point in Freud's belief in the ability of psychoanalysis to
cure serious neurotic illness.
