The Routledge Companion to Mental Health at Work

The issue of mental health at work has become a hot topic in both the popular media and academic writings. Although job stress and mental ill-health are associated with negative outcomes for individuals teams and organizations there has been some suggestion that changing the work environment and creating healthy workplaces can improve worker health. Much of the current works in the general of health is fractured coming from a variety of disciplines and perspectives without an organizing framework to help guide research and practice in the area.

The Routledge Handbook of International Development Mental Health and Wellbeing

The Routledge Handbook of International Development Mental Health and Wellbeing

Mental health has always been a low priority worldwide. Yet more than 650 million people are estimated to meet diagnostic criteria for common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety with almost three-quarters of that burden in low- and middle-income countries. Nowhere in the world does mental health enjoy parity with physical health. Notwithstanding astonishing medical advancements in treatments for physical illnesses mental disorder continues to have a startlingly high mortality rate. However despite its widespread neglect there is now an emerging international imperative to improve global mental health and wellbeing. The UN’s current international development agenda finalised at the end of 2015 contains 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including SDG3 which seeks to ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages. Although much broader in focus than the previous eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) the need for worldwide improvement in mental health has finally been recognised. This Handbook addresses the new UN agenda in the context of mental health and sustainable development examining its implications for national and international policy-makers decision-makers researchers and funding agencies. Conceptual evidence-based and practical discussions crossing a range of disciplines are presented from the world’s leading mental health experts. Together they explore why a commitment to investing in mental health for the fulfilment of SDG3 ought to be an absolute global priority. | The Routledge Handbook of International Development Mental Health and Wellbeing

Mental Fictionalism Philosophical Explorations

Mental Fictionalism Philosophical Explorations

What are mental states? When we talk about people’s beliefs or desires are we talking about what is happening inside their heads? If so might cognitive science show that we are wrong? Might it turn out that mental states do not exist? Mental fictionalism offers a new approach to these longstanding questions about the mind. Its core idea is that mental states are useful fictions. When we talk about mental states we are not formulating hypotheses about people’s inner machinery. Instead we simply talk as if people had certain inner states such as beliefs or desires in order to make sense of their behaviour. This is the first book dedicated to exploring mental fictionalism. Featuring contributions from established authors as well as up-and-coming scholars in this burgeoning field the book reveals the exciting potential of a fictionalist approach to the mind as well as the challenges it faces. In doing so it offers a fresh perspective on foundational debates in the philosophy of mind such as the nature of mental states and folk psychology as well as hot topics in the field such as embodied cognition and mental representation. Mental Fictionalism: Philosophical Explorations is essential reading for advanced undergraduates postgraduates and professionals alike. | Mental Fictionalism Philosophical Explorations
