Subject: Computer-based psychology diagnostics?
A psychologist-colleague without E-mail access asks for sugges-
tions. Her clinical specialization is with emotionally disturbed
children. She inquires if any self-administered, computer-based
diagnostic tests have been developed. Graphic projective
techniques like the "draw a person" and "draw a house" seem like
they might be amenable to computer usage. The idea is to locate
(or if necessary develop) tests free from administrator bias.
Any suggestions as to specific applications or relevant litera-
ture will be much appreciated. Is anyone familiar with computer
based therapy / problem solving software since ELIZA? Thanks.

Subject: Latin source of Baif poem
Dear Participants,
Mathieu Auge-Chiquet, Jean-Antoine de Baif's only biographer, has
pointed out that the following Latin poem by Baif has as its source an
epigram in the Greek Anthology (Epig. Sat. 167 - in vol.4 of the Loeb
edition):
Omnibus es dives, mihi pauper. Sic probat usus
Ipse rei, verus testis Apollophanes.
Si quod habes, utare, tuum est. Sin tu bona servas
Haeredi, alterius iam bona, non tua sunt.
Although it is clear that this Latin poem imitates the Greek epigram cited
by Auge-Chiquet, for some reason I remember a French poem (epigram?) by
Marot which imitated an epigram by Martial. Unfortunately, I have not been
able to find a similar poem by Marot, and searches on Ibycus through all of
Latin literature have revealed nothing. Does a possible Latin source come to
mind to any of you? Why do I seem to remember a poem by Marot on a similar
subject?
Many thanks for past help in identifying the sources of Latin
quotations.
Please respond directly to mlbizer@phoenix.princeton.edu.
Sincerely,
Marc Bizer
