Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions Low Expectations?

Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions Low Expectations?

Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions provides the first comprehensive analysis of stabilization which constitutes the new reference point for international intervention in unruly parts of the Global South. The notion of ‘stabilization’ and the practice of ‘stability operations’ experienced a revival over the last decade. The United Nations the European Union NATO as well as most member states of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development have embraced these terms in their foreign policy bureaucracies. The general disillusionment with the achievements of large-scale peacebuilding operations in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq as well as the failures of the so-called Arab Springs contributed to the success of this new discourse. Yet while widely mentioned and endorsed stabilization is rarely defined. This volume identifies common elements to stabilization doctrines and examines how they are applied in practice. It dissects how stabilization emerged and unfolds how different actors adopt it and for what purposes and how it is linked to the broader security and development discourses. Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions will be of great interest to scholars of Peacebuilding International Intervention and International Relations more generally. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Ethnopolitics. | Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions Low Expectations?

Aspects of Confused Speech A Study of Verbal Interaction Between Confused and Normal Speakers

Aspects of Confused Speech A Study of Verbal Interaction Between Confused and Normal Speakers

Based on research focusing on the experience of having confused speech and being with confused speakers this book begins with everyday commonly understood ideas such as talking too much and examines how confused speech is brought off as a collaborative activity by the people involved. The author became involved in this project because she was interested in how confusion seemed to be something that everyone is not only involved in but also recognizes as part of ordinary life. At the same time confusion is a word that is used somewhat as a blanket category for some people considered permanently incompetent and set apart from ordinary members of society. Her study analyzes how talk between confused and normal speakers throws light on this tension. | Aspects of Confused Speech A Study of Verbal Interaction Between Confused and Normal Speakers

The Other 23 Hours Child Care Work with Emotionally Disturbed Children in a Therapeutic Milieu

The Other 23 Hours Child Care Work with Emotionally Disturbed Children in a Therapeutic Milieu

Among other revolutionary developments of today's world is tie so-called knowledge explosion. So much is being written so fast about so many things that it is becoming well nigh ir­retrievable. One consequently can never be sure that he knows what there is to know about many kinds of phenomena or types of problems existing in the modern world due to the chance that something exists in written form that simply cannot be found so bulky is the load of literature. The common idea that only the sick child and never the well needs special emotional supports and helps from the adult is simply an error. For the well child is not immune from pile-ups of severe emotional intensity when overwhelmed by confusion and conflicts from within. Certainly the normal kid can be ex­pected to handle such crises either from within or without better than his sick peer on the average but that does not mean always; and the critical issue for the well child is: is he ready at the time they hit? If not he needs quite unmistakably emotional first aid from the adult - parent teacher camp counselor (or what have you) - who is in charge of his life at that moment. The reader will find that what the authors describe in The Other 23 Hours as the everyday requirement diet as far as child handling is concerned for their disturbed children is transferable to the normal crises of normal child­hood. | The Other 23 Hours Child Care Work with Emotionally Disturbed Children in a Therapeutic Milieu

Sex Now Talk Later

Sex Now Talk Later

Sex matters. It is a crucial part of whom we are and what to do. So why do we police what is 'normal' and what is 'bizarre'? As the author argues in this insightful book whenever we disapprove of others or ourselves in this way we close our eyes to a deeper understanding of human nature. As a psychiatrist she has also worked inside prisons with sex offenders so she is familiar with the extremes of 'oddity'. Here she uses a psychoanalytic framework with humour insight and clarity to explore why we disapprove and what we lose when we do. She presents us with a series of interwoven vignettes drawn from clinical work and life experiences which have led her to these conclusions. The author argues in this book that as human beings we have a responsibility to develop a much more enquiring and open mind and to feel privileged rather than disgusted when we have access to primitive fantasies that shine light into the dark corners of minds not considered 'normal'. | Sex Now Talk Later

Suppressor Cells and Their Factors

Suppressor Cells and Their Factors

It has only been a short time since the existence of suppressor cells was demonstrated yet in this period of time a great deal of information has been compiled concerning their basic science and their functions or disordered functions in human disease. This volume is an tempt to clarify the immune mechanisms through which these cells act their normal functions and how their functions are disordered in certain disease states. In this volume some rational approaches are proposed to therapy of diseases perceived at least partially due to disordered immune regulation. Particular focus is on the recently emerging field of soluble suppressor factors as a means of providing adoptive immunotherapy in certain situations.

Prison A Symposium

Prison A Symposium

First published in 1963 the original blurb reads: This may be a unique generation which has so widely felt the full range of suffering. It is common in London or New York to spend evenings in the company of people who were prisoners of the Japanese of Hitler of the Hungarian Communists – or of their own stress and breakdown. Prison in some form is the symbol of it. This is an attempt to discover what has been learnt of this whole range of prison experience – taking prison to be any form of enforced separation from the world of normal life. Thus there are chapters on mental asylum and hospital as well as political prison and concentration camp. And the emphasis is on the return rather than the experience. What is the lesson of that time of separation? Having travelled to the end of fear was it the death of fear – or its exposure? That is the question each author was invited to answer. | Prison A Symposium

Bridge Traffic Loading From Research to Practice

Bridge Traffic Loading From Research to Practice

There is considerable uncertainty about what level of traffic loading bridges should be designed for. Codes specify notional load models generally to represent extreme levels of normal traffic but these are often crude and have inconsistent levels of safety for different load effects. Over the past few decades increasing quantities of reliable truck weight data has become available and it is now possible to calculate appropriate levels of bridge traffic loading both for specific bridges and for a road network. Bridge Traffic Loading brings together experts from all over the world to deliver not just the state-of-the-art of vertical loading but also to provide recommendations of best-practice for all the major challenges in the field – short-span single and multi-lane bridge loading dynamic allowance and long-span bridges. It reviews issues that continue to be debated such as which statistical distribution is most appropriate whether free-flowing or congested traffic governs and dealing with future traffic growth. Specialist consultants and bridge owners should find this invaluable as will regulators. | Bridge Traffic Loading From Research to Practice

Psychoanalysis and Philosophy of Mind Unconscious Mentality in the Twenty-first Century

Psychoanalysis and Philosophy of Mind Unconscious Mentality in the Twenty-first Century

Of the topics found in psychoanalytic theory it is Freud's philosophy of mind that is at once the most contentious and enduring. Psychoanalytic theory makes bold claims about the significance of unconscious mental processes and the wish-fulfilling activity of the mind citing their importance for understanding the nature of dreams and explaining both normal and pathological behaviour. However since Freud's initial work both modern psychology and philosophy have had much to say about the merits of Freudian thinking. Developments in psychology philosophy and psychoanalysis raise new challenges and questions concerning Freud's theory of mind. This book addresses the psychoanalytic concept of mind in the 21st century via a joint scientific and philosophical appraisal of psychoanalytic theory. It provides a fresh critical appraisal and reflection on Freudian concepts as well as addressing how current evidence and scientific thinking bear upon Freudian theory. The book centres upon the major concepts in psychoanalysis including the notion of unconscious mental processes and wish-fulfilment and their relationship to dreams fantasy attachment processes and neuroscience. | Psychoanalysis and Philosophy of Mind Unconscious Mentality in the Twenty-first Century
