Law Gender Identity and the Brain Exploring Brain-Sex Theories in Judicial Decisions on Trans and Intersex Minors

Law Gender Identity and the Brain Exploring Brain-Sex Theories in Judicial Decisions on Trans and Intersex Minors

This book challenges law’s reliance on neurology’s brain-sex binary. The brain has become the latest candidate in a historical search for a reliable and fixed biological marker of ‘true sex’ that has permeated every aspect of Western culture including law. As definitions of the sexed and gendered body have become ever more contentious the development and dissemination of brain-sex theories have come to dominate popular understanding of LGBTI+ identities. But this book argues the brain is no more helpful than earlier biological measures in ensuring just outcomes. Examining how law determines and differentiates ‘male’ and ‘female’ in two contested areas of sexed identity –through a discussion of Australian cases authorising medical interventions to alter the embodied sex characteristics of transgender minors and intersex minors –the book demonstrates an incoherence in the legal understanding of gender identity development. As the brain too fails as a convincing biological anchor for the binary sex categories of male and female law must it is argued retreat from its aspiration to create define and regulate artificially bounded sex categories of male and female. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students in a range of disciplines who are working at the intersection of law gender and sexuality. | Law Gender Identity and the Brain Exploring Brain-Sex Theories in Judicial Decisions on Trans and Intersex Minors

Narrative Approaches to Brain Injury

Narrative Approaches to Brain Injury

This book brings together narrative approaches and brain injury rehabilitation in a manner that fosters an understanding of the natural fit between the two. We live our lives by narratives and stories and brain injury can affect those narratives at many levels with far-reaching effects. Understanding held narratives is as important as understanding the functional profile of the injury. This book explores ways to create a space for personal stories to emerge and change whilst balancing theory with practical application. Despite the emphasis of this book on the compatibility of narrative approaches to supporting people following brain injury it also illustrates the potential for contributing to significant change in the current narratives of brain injury. This book takes a philosophically different approach to many current neuro-rehabilitation topics and has the potential to make a big impact. It also challenges the reader to question their own position but does so in an engaging manner which makes it difficult to put down. | Narrative Approaches to Brain Injury

Minimal Brain Dysfunction A Prospective Study

Minimal Brain Dysfunction A Prospective Study

The concept of Minimal Brain Dysfunction (a previous term for ADHD) has had a tumultuous and some would say checkered history. Originally published in 1981 this title was one of a series of volumes dealing with specific developmental problems in children whose mothers registered for prenatal care in the Collaborative Perinatal Project (NCPP) of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke (NINCDS). In this volume relationships between symptoms of minimal brain dysfunction and more than 300 prenatal and postnatal variables are examined in a cohort of nearly 30 000 7-year-old children. Despite greater understanding more recently diagnosis and treatment continue to cause controversy. This is an early investigation into the concept of MBD and its causes today it can be read in its historical context. | Minimal Brain Dysfunction A Prospective Study

The God of the Left Hemisphere Blake Bolte Taylor and the Myth of Creation

The God of the Left Hemisphere Blake Bolte Taylor and the Myth of Creation

The God of the Left Hemisphere explores the remarkable connections between the activities and functions of the human brain that writer William Blake termed 'Urizen' and the powerful complex of rationalising and ordering processes which modern neuroscience identifies as 'left hemisphere' brain activity. The book argues that Blake's profound understanding of the human brain is finding surprising corroboration in recent neuroscientific discoveries such as those of the influential Harvard neuro-anatomist Jill Bolte Taylor and it explores Blake's provocative supposition that the emergence of these rationalising law-making and 'limiting' activities within the human brain has been recorded in the earliest Creation texts such as the Hebrew Bible Plato's Timaeus and the Norse sagas. Blake's prescient insight into the nature and origins of this dominant force within the brain allows him to radically reinterpret the psychological basis of the entity usually referred to in these texts as 'God'. The book draws in particular on the work of Bolte Taylor whose study in this area is having a profound impact on how we understand mental activity and processes. | The God of the Left Hemisphere Blake Bolte Taylor and the Myth of Creation

Conversations on Empathy Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Imagination and Radical Othering

Conversations on Empathy Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Imagination and Radical Othering

In the aftermath of a global pandemic amidst new and ongoing wars genocide inequality and staggering ecological collapse some in the public and political arena have argued that we are in desperate need of greater empathy — be this with our neighbours refugees war victims the vulnerable or disappearing animal and plant species. This interdisciplinary volume asks the crucial questions: How does a better understanding of empathy contribute if at all to our understanding of others? How is it implicated in the ways we perceive understand and constitute others as subjects? Conversations on Empathy examines how empathy might be enacted and experienced either as a way to highlight forms of otherness or instead to overcome what might otherwise appear to be irreducible differences. It explores the ways in which empathy enables us to understand imagine and create sameness and otherness in our everyday intersubjective encounters focusing on a varied range of radical others – others who are perceived as being dramatically different from oneself. With a focus on the importance of empathy to understand difference the book contends that the role of empathy is critical now more than ever for thinking about local and global challenges of interconnectedness care and justice. | Conversations on Empathy Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Imagination and Radical Othering

Entropy of Mind and Negative Entropy A Cognitive and Complex Approach to Schizophrenia and its Therapy

Entropy of Mind and Negative Entropy A Cognitive and Complex Approach to Schizophrenia and its Therapy

Schizophrenia is the central problem in the sciences of the mind not only for its etiological psychopathological and clinical aspects but also because of its implications for therapy and rehabilitation. In this volume the author describes a series of new scientific and clinical perspectives for schizophrenia influenced by cognitivist and constructivist approaches and informed by the logic of complexity and non-linear dynamic systems. The author delineates a new complex theory of the brain and a procedural theory of the mind founded on the concept of the modular brain and the coalitional mind. Subsequently the author develops a multi-factorial conceptualization of the etiological dynamic and an original complex and evolutionary perspective concerning the psychotic condition which has been redefined in this case as Entropy of the Mind or Phrenentropy. In conclusion the author illustrates an innovative integrated protocol denominated Negative Entropy for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia. | Entropy of Mind and Negative Entropy A Cognitive and Complex Approach to Schizophrenia and its Therapy

On Understanding Emotion

On Understanding Emotion

Emotions-fleeting insubstantial changeable and ambiguous-seem to defy study and analysis. Nothing is more complex mysterious and subject to conflicting theories and interpretations than human emotion. Yet the central importance of emotion in human affairs is undeniable. Emotions affect all levels of life-personal organizational political cultural economic and religious. Emotions give meaning to life. Emotional disturbances can destroy that meaning. How should emotions be studied? How can an understanding of the inner feelings of individuals illuminate important social interactions and human developments? In his book Norman Denzin presents a systematic in-depth analysis of emotion that combines new theoretical advances with practical applications. Based on an intensive critical examination of classical and modern theoretical research-and on revealing personal interviews in which ordinary people express their emotional lives-he builds a new framework for understanding ordinary emotions and emotional disturbances. Denzin analyzes how people experience joy and pain love and hate anger and despair friendship and alienation-and examines the personal psychological social and cultural aspects of human emotion to provide new perspectives for understanding human experience and social interactions. He offers new insights on the role of emotions in family violence and recommends ways of helping people escape from recurring patterns of violence. And in criticizing current conceptions of emotionally disturbed people he reveals the nature of their inner lives and the ways they perceive and relate to others. In sum this book presents new insights on human relationships and human experience. It is now available in paperback for the first time with a new introduction by the author. | On Understanding Emotion
