On the Shoulders of Giants
This is a one act play with six scenes about the mathematician Isaac Newton when he was England's "Master of the Mint".
Three Screenplays
This publication contains three screenplays, although the third one "Hypatia" is in play format but could easily be adapted to a screenplay. The first screenplay in this publication has title "The Sewers." It is about a group of Jews hiding out in the sewers of Warsaw during the Warsaw ghetto uprising against the Nazis during World War II. The second one, "The Knoll," takes place during the time when the American West was being settled. The third one is about Hypatia a real person during the time of Alexandria Egypt in the early fifth century AD who got into trouble with the powers that be at that time.
The Watchdog and the Burglar:
The four reports in this document are the following: 1) The Watchdog and the Burglar, published in the Naval Research Logistics Quarterly 2) Mathematical Derivation of the "The Watchdog and the Burglar" Results 3) An Extension of "The Watchdog and the Burglar" Problem 4) A Recursive Form of "The Watchdog and the Burglar" Problem
Two Act Plays
This collection TWO ACT PLAYS contains two two act plays: Redemption, and Death of a Psychiatrist. Redemption is a play about a woman who is trying to redeem herself from a mistake she made twenty years before the play begins. Death of a Psychiatrist is about the killing of a psychiatrist by an ex-patient, who thinks the psychiatrist indulged himself, during the therapy, in an egregious form of what is called countertransference.
Masada Revisited Ii
Masada Revisited II gives a different view of what happened at Masada in 73ce when the Jewish defenders, according to the only historical account as given by Josephus in his book The Jewish War, committed mass suicide. Many Jewish people are disconcerted by this version of the story. Since Josephus wrote under the constraint of trying to please his Roman sponsors, his accuracy is suspect. The version given in this play is hopefully more palatable.
Masada Revisited
The play "Masada Revisited" is a semi - fictionalized retelling in play form of an incident set in the locale of Masada, a place near the Dead Sea in modern day Israel, that occurred in 73 ce. It refers to the last event of the Jewish War against the Romans that lasted from 66 ce to 70 ce with cleanup operations lasting until 73 ce, Masada being the last one. The only historical refence is from the book "The Jewish War Against the Romans" written by the historian Josephus who lived in the first century ce. Josephus was not an eyewitness to the incident and was notoriously inaccurate sometimes as well as having to write under the constraint of ingratiating himself with his Roman sponsors. Many Jewish people object to the original form of the story. This version is, hopefully, less objectionable. "The book "Judas the Galilean" by Daniel Unterbrink published by iUniverse contains some background material that is referred to in the play "Masada Revisited.""
Isaac and Amanda
The play Isaac and Amanda is among other things a love story about Isaac Newton and a woman named Amanda. It also contains material about the conflicts that Newton had with the scientist Robert Hooke and the mathematician Leibniz. The latter conflict deals with the issue of who should receive credit for the discovery of Calculus. Furthermore, it deals with that period of Newtons life when he was an official in the Mint (the equivalent in the United States of the Treasury Department) trying to solve Britains currency problems and his difficulties with the master counterfeiter Challoner and especially Challoners wife. Finally, it brings up the issue of Newtons year when he was so depressed that some people say he had a nervous breakdown. Some of the material in Isaac and Amanda is to be found in the play On the Shoulders of Giants, written by the same authors.
Countertransference and Retribution
At rise: A therapist and a patient are having a discussion in the therapist’s office. Therapist From your phone call, I get the impression that you want to complain about a previous therapy, or to be precise, a psychotherapy, and, more specifically, a therapy with the designation “talk therapy,” like psychoanalysis. Patient Actually, I want to complain about three or four of them, and also complain about some talk therapists that I only saw once. Therapist Before you go on, I’d like you to know, that as far as I am concerned, many talk therapists can be ineffective and, unfortunately, can sometimes even do harm to patients. There are some good ones but you probably couldn’t afford one of them. I like to think of myself as one of the good ones. You’re here because I like to help people like you, who seemed to have had a difficult time in therapy. In fact, this is my mission in life.
Countertransference and Other Plays
