Revised and updated throughout, this second edition includes new discussions of grief and psychopathy, the problems of the psychophysical basis of disorder, the nature of selfhood, and clarification of the relation between rationality and mental disorder. Each chapter explores a central question or problem about mental disorder, including: what is mental disorder and can it be distinguished from neurological disorder? what roles should reference to psychological, cultural, and social factors play in the medical/scientific understanding of mental disorder? what makes mental disorders undesirable? Are they diseases? mental disorder and the mind–body problem is mental disorder a breakdown of rationality? What is a rational mind? addiction, responsibility and compulsion ethical dilemmas posed by mental disorder, including questions of dignity and self-respect. Each topic is clearly explained and placed in a clinical and philosophical context. Mental disorders discussed include clinical depression, dissociative identity disorder, anxiety, religious delusions, and paranoia. Several non-mental neurological disorders that possess psychological symptoms are also examined, including Alzheimer’s disease, Down’s syndrome, and Tourette’s syndrome. Containing chapter summaries and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, The Disordered Mind, second edition is a superb introduction to the philosophy of mental disorder for students of philosophy, psychology, psychiatry, and related mental health professions.
Book Synopsis Crystal Structure Refinement by : Peter Muller

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crystal Structure Refinement is a mixture of textbook and tutorial. As A Crystallographers Guide to SHELXL it covers advanced aspects of practical crystal structure refinement, which have not been much addressed by textbooks so far. After an introduction to SHELXL in the first chapter, a brief survey of crystal structure refinement is provided. Chapters three and higher address the various aspects of structure refinement, from the treatment of hydrogen atoms to the assignment of atom types, to disorder, to non-crystallographic symmetry and twinning. One chapter is dedicated to the refinement of macromolecular structures and two short chapters deal with structure validation (one for small molecule structures and one for macromolecules). In each of the chapters the book gives refinement examples, based on the program SHELXL, describing every problem in detail. It comes with a CD-ROM with all files necessary to reproduce the refinements.

Book Synopsis What will be the next, special educational system? by : Helena Oriešèiková
Download or read book What will be the next, special educational system? written by Helena Oriešèiková and published by EDUCatt - Ente per il diritto allo studio universitario dell'Università Cattolica. This book was released on 2015-05-31 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special pedagogy belongs to pedagogical disciplines. It is defined as a science branch that studies regularities of training and education of individuals who are disadvantaged comparing to the major population at mental, sensory, somatic area; communication skills; psycho-social area; learning disorders and accelerated talent. Nowadays especially terminological disunity is in the middle of attention at training-educational area; but also at legislative area, pedagogues, parents, educational advisors and also special pedagogues themselves. Special practice forces specialists and also special pedagogues to gain as much knowledge about terminology as possible not only here but also abroad with purpose of its unity. Objective attitude to a personality with disability or disorder can be only created as a result of complex attitude. Within this attitude the terminology makes a serious part. To understand the difficult issue regarding the terminology at special pedagogy a scientific monograph which had been created by many specialists not only from Slovakia but also from abroad can definitely help. We assume that not only students of special pedagogy but also teachers from practice, wide pedagogical and non-pedagogical public and all of those who concern about this issue (including special employees of various resorts) will find answers on many difficult questions about terminology at special monograph. We also believe that it will enrich the theory of special pedagogy as well in an important way. Excerpt from the Introduction

Book Synopsis The Philosophy of Psychiatry by : Jennifer Radden
Download or read book The Philosophy of Psychiatry written by Jennifer Radden and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-06-10 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive resource of original essays by leading thinkers exploring the newly emerging inter-disciplinary field of the philosophy of psychiatry. The contributors aim to define this exciting field and to highlight the philosophical assumptions and issues that underlie psychiatric theory and practice, the category of mental disorder, and rationales for its social, clinical and legal treatment. As a branch of medicine and a healing practice, psychiatry relies on presuppositions that are deeply and unavoidably philosophical. Conceptions of rationality, personhood and autonomy frame our understanding and treatment of mental disorder. Philosophical questions of evidence, reality, truth, science, and values give meaning to each of the social institutions and practices concerned with mental health care. The psyche, the mind and its relation to the body, subjectivity and consciousness, personal identity and character, thought, will, memory, and emotions are equally the stuff of traditional philosophical inquiry and of the psychiatric enterprise. A new research field--the philosophy of psychiatry--began to form during the last two decades of the twentieth century. Prompted by a growing recognition that philosophical ideas underlie many aspects of clinical practice, psychiatric theorizing and research, mental health policy, and the economics and politics of mental health care, academic philosophers, practitioners, and philosophically trained psychiatrists have begun a series of vital, cross-disciplinary exchanges. This volume provides a sampling of the research yield of those exchanges. Leading thinkers in this area, including clinicians, philosophers, psychologists, and interdisciplinary teams, provide original discussions that are not only expository and critical, but also a reflection of their authors' distinctive and often powerful and imaginative viewpoints and theories. All the discussions break new theoretical ground. As befits such an interdisciplinary effort, they are methodologically eclectic, and varied and divergent in their assumptions and conclusions; together, they comprise a significant new exploration, definition, and mapping of the philosophical aspects of psychiatric theory and practice.
Book Synopsis Naturalism, interpretation, and mental disorder by : Somogy Varga
Download or read book Naturalism, interpretation, and mental disorder written by Somogy Varga and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philosophy of Psychiatry is a unique area of research because the nature of the subject matter leads to quite distinct methodological issues. Naturalism, Interpretation, and Mental Disorder is an original new work focusing on the challenges we face when trying to interpret and understand mental illness. The book integrates a hermeneutical perspective, and shows how such an approach can reveal important facts about historical sources in psychiatry and the nature of dialogue in the therapeutic encounter. In addition, the book demonstrates how such an approach can be valuable for understanding the concept of mental disorder itself. Naturalism, Interpretation, and Mental Disorder brings fresh thinking to the philosophy of psychiatry, and will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of Mental Health and Philosophy.

Book Synopsis Descriptions and Prescriptions by : John Z. Sadler
Download or read book Descriptions and Prescriptions written by John Z. Sadler and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-04-30 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most everyone agrees that having pneumonia or a broken leg is always a bad thing, but not everyone agrees that sadness, grief, anxiety, or even hallucinations are always bad things. This fundamental disjunction in how disease and disorders are valued is the basis for the considerations in Descriptions and Prescriptions. In this book John Z. Sadler, M.D., brings together a distinguished group of contributors to examine how psychiatric diagnostic classifications are influenced by the values held by mental health professionals and the society in which they practice. The aim of the book, according to Sadler, is "to involve psychiatrists, psychologists, philosophers, and scholars in related fields in an intimate exchange about the role of values in shaping past and future classifications of mental disorders."
