Full textAbstract:
The Unified Protocol (UP) for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders: Therapist Guide is a treatment programv applicable to all anxiety and unipolar depressive disorders and potentially other disorders with strong emotional components (e.g., eating disorders, borderline personality disorder). The UP for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders addresses neuroticism by targeting the aversive, avoidant reactions to emotions that, while providing relief in the short term, increase the likelihood of future negative emotions and maintains disorder symptoms. The strategies included in this treatment are largely based on common principles found in existing empirically supported psychological treatments—namely, fostering mindful emotion awareness, reevaluating automatic cognitive appraisals, changing action tendencies associated with the disordered emotions, and utilizing emotion exposure procedures. The focus of these core skills has been adjusted to specifically address core negative responses to emotional experiences.

Full textAbstract:
The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders: Workbook was developed to help people who are struggling with intense emotions like anxiety, sadness, anger, and guilt. A person may have an emotional disorder when his or her emotions are so overwhelming that they get in the way of moving forward in life. Although emotions affect our lives in different ways, there are three features that often occur across emotional disorders. These are (a) frequent, strong emotions; (b) negative reactions to emotions; and (c) avoidance of emotions. The goal of this workbook is to change the way that people with emotional disorders respond to their emotions when they occur. This treatment program is applicable to all anxiety and unipolar depressive disorders and potentially other disorders with strong emotional components. The strategies included in this treatment are largely based on common principles found in existing empirically supported psychological treatments.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter is an overview of emotions history in the context of religious studies. It remarks on several kinds of inquiry—including those having to do with popular and official religion; embodiment and objectification; words, knowledge, and feelings; religious meaning; and prospects. As intellectual history of a certain sort, the nearness of emotion to religion in the historical study of ethical thought models the ongoing influence of Christian language and the assumptions of emotional universality that are inscribed on that language. The ongoing resistance to claims for the constructedness of emotion in historical religious settings is less doctrinaire than it was in the mid to late twentieth century, but there is a strong impulse to take religious statements of emotion at face value. The result is some ongoing cultural tension between the scholarly querying of emotion and Christian-inflected thinking about religion.

Full textAbstract:
This online patient workbook is a radical departure from disorder-specific treatments of various emotional disorders, and is designed to be applicable to all anxiety and unipolar mood disorders, as well as other disorders with strong emotional components, such as many somatoform and dissociative disorders. It covers the Unified Protocol (UP), which capitalizes on the contributions made by cognitive-behavioral theorists by distilling and incorporating the common principles of CBT present in all evidenced based protocols for specific emotional disorders, as well as drawing on the field of emotion science for insights into deficits in emotion regulation. It discusses the seven modules of UP, and focuses on four core strategies: becoming mindfully aware of emotional experience; reappraising rigid emotion laden attributions; identifying and preventing behavioral and emotional avoidance; and facilitating exposure to both interoceptive and situational cues associated with emotional experiences.

Full textAbstract:
There is accumulating evidence suggesting that emotions can have a strong impact on social decision-making. However, the neural mechanisms of emotional influences on choice are less well understood to date. This chapter integrates recent results from two independent but related research streams in social neuroeconomics and social neuroscience, which together identify the neural mechanisms involved in the influences of emotions on social choice. Specifically, research in social neuroeconomics has shown that social decisions, such as trust-taking, involve commonly ignored emotional considerations in addition to economic considerations related to payouts. These results are paralleled by recent findings in social neuroscience that underline the role of emotions in social interactions. Because anticipatory emotions associated with social approval and rejection can have important, but often ignored, influences on social choices the integration of emotions into theories of social decision-making is necessary.

Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children: Workbook (UP-C) provides evidence-based treatment strategies to assist child clients to function better in their lives. This treatment is designed for children ages 7 to 13 (although some children just outside this age range may also benefit) who are experiencing feelings of sadness, anxiety, worry, anger, or other emotions that get in the way of their ability to enjoy their lives and feel successful. The workbook is written for children (with corresponding parent sessions presented later in the book) and guides them through each week of the program with education, activities, and examples that will help families to understand the role that emotions play in everyday actions. Children are taught helpful strategies for dealing with strong emotions and will receive support in making choices that will move them closer to their long-term goals. The UP-C takes a transdiagnostic approach to the treatment of emotional disorders and the skills presented are appropriate for children with a large range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and other related concerns.

Mullins, Paul R. Revolting Things. University Press of Florida, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5744/florida/9780813066714.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Revolting Things: An Archaeology of Shameful Histories and Repulsive Realities examines a host of material things that induce anxiety, provoke unpleasantness, or simply revolt us. The book is a study of the contemporary world and its recent dark history that wrestles with how and why certain material things provoke strong and predominately negative feelings that are firmly rooted in contemporary political concerns. This book interrogates the physical and emotional experience of abhorrent things ranging from Confederate heritage to landscapes of racial violence and confirms the emotional, physical, and social power of material things. The book argues that our experience of difficult material heritage is emotionally rich, shaped by social circumstances, and reflective of deep-seated social and historical anxieties.

Full textAbstract:
Whether addressing questions of loss, (be)longing, fears of an immigration ‘invasion’ or perceived injustices in immigration policies, immigration debates are infused with strong emotions. Emotion is often presented as a factor that complicates and hinders rational discussion. This book explores how emotion is, in fact, central to understanding how and why we have the immigration policies we do, and what kinds of policies may be beneficial for various groups of people in society. The author looks beyond the ‘negative’ emotions of fear and hostility to examine the politics of compassion and empathy. Using case studies from Australia, Europe and the United States, the book offers a new and original analysis of immigration policy and immigration debates.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the revenge scenario, arguing that, from an ethical perspective, screen storytellers should approach the scenario with caution and, when using it, complicate, nuance, and question it. The revenge scenario works because it is a reliable way to elicit the strong emotions that draw viewers. The pleasures of revenge scenarios depend upon Manichaean distinctions between good and evil—the good tribe and the bad tribe, the morally upright protagonist and the vile offender. If humans are tribal creatures, the typical revenge scenario exaggerates tribal feelings through narrative means and uses them to elicit strong and pleasurable emotional responses dependent on clear distinctions between us and them and simplified exaggerations of the Good and the Bad. The chapter examines the revenge scenario as it is employed in Django Unchained, Funny Games, and True Grit.

Full textAbstract:
According to current cognitive-behavioral models, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is characterized by a vicious cycle between maladaptive appearance-related thoughts and information-processing biases, as well as maladaptive behaviors and negative emotions such as feelings of shame, disgust, anxiety, and depression. This chapter provides an overview of findings on cognitive characteristics such as dysfunctional beliefs, information-processing biases for threat (e.g., selective attention, interpretation), and implicit associations (e.g., low self-esteem, strong physical attractiveness stereotype, and high importance of attractiveness). The chapter also reviews face recognition abnormalities and emotion recognition deficits and biases (e.g., misinterpreting neutral faces as angry) as well as facial discrimination ability. These studies suggest that BDD is associated with dysfunctional beliefs about one’s own appearance, information-processing biases, emotion recognition deficits and biases, and selective processing of appearance-related information. Future steps to stimulate more research and clinical implications are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter introduces utilitarian versus retributive (i.e., deontological) motives to punish. Utilitarian motives aim to prevent further harm from occurring; retributive motives aim to make offenders suffer for their actions. The chapter reviews the various types of utilitarian motives that are applied in a criminal justice setting (i.e., deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation), and discusses to what extent punishment is successful in deterring offenders. Furthermore, the chapter introduces retributive motives, suggesting that people are willing to sacrifice their self-interest to establish justice through punishment, and that free-will beliefs influence punishment. Also, the chapter reviews evidence that emotional states can “spill over” and shape punishment of offenders, and notes that punishment can be intuitive even if no strong emotions are involved.

Agri, Dalida. Reading Fear in Flavian Epic. Oxford University PressOxford, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780192859303.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract This book examines the textual representations of emotions, fear in particular, through the lens of Stoic thought and their impact on depictions of power, gender, and agency. It first draws attention to the role and significance of fear, and cognate emotions, in the tyrant’s psyche, and then goes on to explore how these emotions, in turn, shape the wider narratives. The focus is on the lengthy epics of Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica, Statius’ Thebaid, and Silius Italicus’ Punica. All three poems are obsessed with men in power with no power over themselves, a marked concern that carries a strong Senecan fingerprint. Seneca’s influence on post-Neronian epic discourse can be felt beyond his plays. His Epistles and other prose works prove particularly illuminating for each of the poet’s gendered treatment of the relationship between power and emotion. By adopting a Roman Stoic perspective, both philosophical and cultural, this study brings together a cluster of major ideas to draw meaningful connections and unlock new readings.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the image Plutarch created of the end of Athenian Democracy. Its aim is to show that Plutarch conceived of this end through the lens of the theatre, and to explore the origins of this portrayal. It makes this argument through close study of the intersection of theatre and politics in Plutarch’s Life of Phocion. Plutarch expresses the political significance of crucial moments by drawing attention to their theatrical dimension. Theatrical venues, self-presentation, staging, speech, and props are used in order to create an emotional impact on an Athenian audience. Since Plutarch understood theatre in (mostly) Platonic terms, this evaluation is negative. He wishes to depict an Athenian society predisposed to strong emotion, ready to welcome an exuberant tyrant with open arms despite its previous democratic values.

Hoff, Timothy J. Doctor-Patient Relationships and Our Expectations. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190626341.003.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Despite strong evidence over time of the clinical, psychological, and emotional benefits of strong doctor-patient relationships, these relationships are transforming quickly due to a “new normal” within health care delivery of de-emphasizing patient contact with the physician; using disruptive innovations that emphasize transactional speed and convenience in service delivery; and pressures exerted by external forces like the overuse of performance metrics. Strong doctor-patient relationships are characterized by dyadic interactions over time that feature high degrees of trust, empathy, listening, and emotional support. As the notion of “relationship” in health care moves from doctor-patient to organization-patient, it is important to gain insights about the present and future of relational care through the voices of doctors and patients describing their interactional experiences, and how these experiences shape their thinking and behavior with respect to each other.

Full textAbstract:
Spontaneous thoughts occur by default in the interstices between directed, task-oriented thoughts or moments of perceptual scrutiny. Their contents are overwhelmingly related to thinkers’ current goals, either directly or indirectly via associative networks, including past and future goals. Their evocation is accompanied by emotional responses that vary widely in type, valence, and intensity. Given these properties of thought flow, spontaneous thoughts are highly adaptive as (1) reminders of the individual’s larger agenda of goals while occupied with pursuing any one of them, (2) promotion of planning for future goal pursuits, (3) deeper understanding of past goal-related experiences, and (4) development of creative solutions to problems in goal pursuit. The same mechanisms may occasion repetitive but unproductive thoughts about the pursuit, the consequences of the failure, or the self, and strong negative emotions steering the train of thought may lead to narrowing of its focus, thus producing rumination.

Small, Mario Luis. Incompatible Expectations. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190661427.003.0005.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter suggests that the graduate students sometimes approached weak ties because they were avoiding strong ones, and that the heart of their reservations lay in the possibility of incompatible expectations—in the potential discordance between different roles that those they were close to might expect to perform. It begins by explaining that the students maintained different kinds of strong ties and confided in people with whom they had different kinds of relationships. The former can be classified by their degree of institutional mediation; the latter, by the extent of emotional reciprocity. Institutional mediation introduced additional expectations to a relationship; emotional reciprocity, when it was lacking, created the possibility of ambiguity. Both factors shaped how reluctant students were to approach those to whom they were close when they needed to discuss particular topics.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the problems of pesthouse siting. For more than half a century, strong, collective feelings of fear, anger, and disgust drove the relentless opposition to the various sites suggested for San Francisco's pesthouse. San Franciscans continued to appeal to miasmatic theories of disease to justify threatening to burn down and destroy existing structures. Political decisions about “place making” for an institution housing “loathsome” bodies were always highly emotional, contentious, and bitterly fought. Eloquently expressed at neighborhood meetings and in lobbying efforts, these sentiments suggest the presence of an emotional climate that developed within the context of nineteenth-century dangers associated with urbanization and industrialization in San Francisco.

Beauchaine, Theodore P., and Sheila E. Crowell, eds. The Oxford Handbook of Emotion Dysregulation. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190689285.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Emotion dysregulation—which is often defined as the inability to modulate strong affective states including impulsivity, anger, fear, sadness, and anxiety—is observed in nearly all psychiatric disorders. These include internalizing disorders such as panic disorder and major depression, externalizing disorders such as conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder, and various other disorders including schizophrenia, autism, and borderline personality disorder. Among many affected individuals, precursors to emotion dysregulation appear early in development, and often predate the emergence of diagnosable psychopathology. Collaborative work by Drs. Crowell and Beauchaine, and work by many others, suggests that emotion dysregulation arises from both familial (coercion, invalidation, abuse, neglect) and extrafamilial (deviant peer group affiliations, social reinforcement) mechanisms. These studies point toward strategies for prevention and intervention. The Oxford Handbook of Emotion Dysregulation brings together experts whose work cuts across levels of analysis, including neurobiological, cognitive, and social, in studying emotion dysregulation. Contributing authors describe how early environmental risk exposures shape emotion dysregulation, how emotion dysregulation manifests in various forms of mental illness, and how emotion dysregulation is most effectively assessed and treated. This is the first text to assemble a highly accomplished group of authors to address conceptual issues in emotion dysregulation research; define the emotion dysregulation construct at levels of cognition, behavior, and social dynamics; describe cutting-edge assessment techniques at neural, psychophysiological, and behavioral levels of analysis; and present contemporary treatment strategies. Conceptualizing emotion dysregulation as a core vulnerability to psychopathology is consistent with modern transdiagnostic approaches to diagnosis and treatment, including the Research Domain Criteria and the Unified Protocol, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the cultural impact of syndicalism, tracing its influence on representations of working-class masculinity in three strike plays staged at the Abbey Theatre during Ireland’s revolutionary period: St. John Ervine’s Mixed Marriage, Andrew Patrick Wilson’s The Slough, and Daniel Corkery’s The Labour Leader. All three plays were inspired by syndicalist labor actions in Irish cities organized by the labor leader James Larkin, whose agitational style incorporated aspects of queer socialism into a more normative masculinity founded on the capacity for violence. Larkin’s ability to inspire working-class men with his emotions alarmed Ervine, who focuses on the heterosexual ‘mixing’ named in his play’s title in order to suppress the disruptive potential of the homosocial ‘mixing’ of Catholic and Protestant men enabled by Larkin’s organizing. The counter-revolutionary family plot that Ervine constructs for Mixed Marriage includes an irresponsible working-class father and a strong but apolitical working-class mother, conventions which are replicated in A. Patrick Wilson’s Lockout play The Slough and amplified in O’Casey’s Juno and the Paycock. Daniel Corkery’s The Labour Leader, by contrast, embraces Larkin’s self-dramatization in order to explore the emotional landscape of working-class masculinity and the potential of a revolutionary theatre capable of harnessing syndicalism’s passions.

Full textAbstract:
Communication requires interdependent functioning of large portions of the brain, and damage to any of these systems can disrupt effective and appropriate communication. Damage to the right hemisphere or basal ganglia can result in difficulty using or understanding prosodic contours in speech. Prosody includes pitch, loudness, rate, and voice quality, and is used to convey emotional connotation or linguistic intent. A disorder in the comprehension or production of prosody is known as aprosodia; affective aprosodia is a specific deficit affecting emotional or affective prosodic contours. The right hemisphere has been shown to play a critical role in processing emotional prosody and aprosodia syndromes resulting from damage to right hemisphere areas have been proposed. These include an expressive aprosodia resulting from anterior damage and a receptive aprosodia resulting from more posterior damage. Assessment and diagnosis of aprosodia in clinical settings are often perceptually based; however, acoustic analyses of means and ranges of frequency, intensity, and rate provide an instrumented analysis of prosody production. The treatment of aprosodia following stroke has received scant attention in comparison to other disorders of communication, although a few studies investigating cognitive–linguistic and imitative treatments have reported some positive results.

Full textAbstract:
Ideology is a word that evokes strong emotional responses. ‘Should ideologies be ill-reputed’ examines how ideologies are perceived. For many, ideologies are associated with -isms, such as communism, fascism, or anarchism. Ideology is viewed with suspicion and ‘ism’ as a faintly derogatory term. However, ideologies offer competing interpretations of events and seek to impose a pattern on them. The influence of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in shaping and developing the concept of ideology is examined in more detail. Particularly the way in which they linked class and ideology, and how their ideas have influenced non-Marxists.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing from an ethnography with a feminist anti-violence collective, this book explores how we can reimagine the relationship between academia and activism to create novel opportunities for social change. The book tells two interconnected stories: the story of a collective fighting gendered violence in an ever-shifting non-profit sector context and the story of an ethnographer learning from the collective about identity and social change. Rather than offering a prescriptive account of how academics can collaborate with activists, these intertwined stories ask us to question how we draw lines between what counts as academic/activist, theory/practice, reason/emotion, and mind/body. Unfixing these lines helps us to develop our imaginative capacity for identifying and dismantling injustice and share tools to (re)build a more just world. This book is an account of the social justice tools of feminist anti-violence activists including strong emotions and alternative organising, the unsettling the gendered body, and storytelling about feminist identity. This book is also an account of how those tools were taken up to reimagine academic activism. Beyond asking us how we might ‘do good’, however, this book asks us what we might become.

Full textAbstract:
For patients, the best relationships with their doctors involved the very things doctors identified as important, namely, trust, listening, emotional bonding, mutual respect, and accountability. Whereas doctors believed such strong relationships took time and a high degree of interaction with patients to establish, patients described it more as “in the moment” or sporadically emerging. They also indicated such relationships were rare. Patients also suffered from a variety of lowered expectations of their doctors that undermined their own thoughts on the prospects for strong connections with them. These lowered expectations took the form of an aversion to physician overuse of standardized medicine, along with beliefs that physicians are not easily accessible, and that primary care doctors are more “traffic cops” than multifaceted diagnosticians. These expectations feed into even further pessimism on the part of patients that they can or should have deep relationships with doctors, or that such relationships have value.

Anderson, E. N. Ecologies of the Heart. Oxford University Press, 1996. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780195090109.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
There is much we can learn about conservation from native peoples, says Gene Anderson. While the advanced nations of the West have failed to control overfishing, deforestation, soil erosion, pollution, and a host of other environmental problems, many traditional peoples manage their natural resources quite successfully. And if some traditional peoples mismanage the environment--the irrational value some place on rhino horn, for instance, has left this species endangered--the fact remains that most have found ways to introduce sound ecological management into their daily lives. Why have they succeeded while we have failed? In Ecologies of the Heart, Gene Anderson reveals how religion and other folk beliefs help pre-industrial peoples control and protect their resources. Equally important, he offers much insight into why our own environmental policies have failed and what we can do to better manage our resources. A cultural ecologist, Gene Anderson has spent his life exploring the ways in which different groups of people manage the environment, and he has lived for years in fishing communities in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Tahiti, and British Columbia--as well as in a Mayan farmtown in south Mexico--where he has studied fisheries, farming, and forest management. He has concluded that all traditional societies that have managed resources well over time have done so in part through religion--by the use of emotionally powerful cultural symbols that reinforce particular resource management strategies. Moreover, he argues that these religious beliefs, while seeming unscientific, if not irrational, at first glance, are actually based on long observation of nature. To illustrate this insight, he includes many fascinating portraits of native life. He offers, for instance, an intriguing discussion of the Chinese belief system known as Feng-Shui (wind and water) and tells of meeting villagers in remote areas of Hong Kong's New Territories who assert that dragons live in the mountains, and that to disturb them by cutting too sharply into the rock surface would cause floods and landslides (which in fact it does). He describes the Tlingit Indians of the Pacific Northwest, who, before they strip bark from the great cedar trees, make elaborate apologies to spirits they believe live inside the trees, assuring the spirits that they take only what is necessary. And we read of the Maya of southern Mexico, who speak of the lords of the Forest and the Animals, who punish those who take more from the land or the rivers than they need. These beliefs work in part because they are based on long observation of nature, but also, and equally important, because they are incorporated into a larger cosmology, so that people have a strong emotional investment in them. And conversely, Anderson argues that our environmental programs often fail because we have not found a way to engage our emotions in conservation practices. Folk beliefs are often dismissed as irrational superstitions. Yet as Anderson shows, these beliefs do more to protect the environment than modern science does in the West. Full of insights, Ecologies of the Heart mixes anthropology with ecology and psychology, traditional myth and folklore with informed discussions of conservation efforts in industrial society, to reveal a strikingly new approach to our current environmental crises.

Filmmakers Agnès Varda and Catherine Breillat, and American photographer working in Paris, Nan Goldin, return to the paintings of Titian, Velázquez, Goya, Courbet, and others, re-imagining, and re-purposing, their images of female beauty, display, (auto)eroticism, and intimacy. This book, a sensuous evocation of these feminist works, claims a female-identified pleasure in looking. The artists explored align images of repose and sensuality with other images of horizontality and proneness, of strong emotional content, images of erotic involvement, of vulnerability, of bodily contortion, of listlessness, grief, and depression. The reclining nude is for all three artists a starting point for a reflection on the relation of film, projections, and still photography, to painting, and a sustained re-imagining of the meanings conjured through serial returns to a particular pose. This book claims that the image of the reclining nude is compelling, for female-identified artists – and for all allied in feeling and picturing femininity – in the sensitive, ethically adventurous, politically complex feminist issues it engages. The reclining nude is an image of passivity, of submission, of hedonism. It allows thought about passivity as pleasure, about depression and grief figured posturally, about indolence as a form of resistance and anarchy. Through this image, female-identified artists have claimed freedom to offer new focus on these extremes of emotion. They are re-imagining horizontality.

This chapter lays out the Tea Party’s history as a mass-mediated construction in the context of journalism, political communication, and social movement studies. It argues that the news coverage of the Tea Party primarily chronicled its meaning, appeal, motivations, influence, and circulation—an emphasis on its persona more than its policies. In particular, the news media tracked the Tea Party as a brand, highlighting its profits, marketability, brand leaders, and audience appeal. The Tea Party became a brand through news media coverage; in defining it as a brand, the Tea Party was a story, message, and cognitive shortcut that built a lasting relationship with citizen-consumers through strong emotional connections, self-expression, consumption, and differentiation.

Full textAbstract:
In the new edition of the Oxford Textbook of Neurorehabilitation all chapters have been updated to reflect advances in knowledge in the field of neurorehabilitation. It will be supplemented by additional chapters that reflect novel developments in the field of neurorehabilitation. During recent years there has been a strong evolution in the field of vocational rehabilitation with the aim of helping people after an injury of the nervous system to overcome the barriers and return to employment. A new chapter on self-management strategies deals with building confidence in individuals to manage the medical and emotional aspects of their condition. Furthermore, today the scientific basis for music supported therapy is a much broader to introduce it in this edition. New guidelines and consensus statements became established concerning preclinical research, biomarkers, and outcome measures, in both animal models and human beings. There are new data on attempts (e.g. using stem cells or Nogo antibodies) to restore function after spinal cord injury and stroke. Not all of these therapies and clinical trials have had positive outcomes. One particular area of rapid expansion reflects the use of technology in neurorehabilitation and several chapters remain devoted to this topic in various forms. Still a better understanding of the interactions of technology led therapies and conventional approaches in patients with neurodisability is required. There is still work to be done in defining key components of all neurorehabilitation interventions in order to understand how they might best be delivered for maximum benefit.

Full textAbstract:
Projectivism asserts that we project subjective aspects of perception into what we experience as the world outside ourselves. It is minimally familiar from various phantom pains, afterimages, and hallucinations. Views like sense-datum theory arguably assert a more global, Strong Projectivism: all perceptual experiences involve and only involve direct awareness of projected elements. Strong Projectivism is an underappreciated variety of intentionalism. It straightforwardly explains the transparency of experience, and phenomena qualia theorists offer to avoid intentionalism, including blurry vision and spectrum inversion. Finally, projectivism illuminates residual qualia-friendly cases involving imagination and emotion. Although some cases may provide instances of non-projected, non-intentional aspects of experience, most do not. Thus, the notion of phenomenal presence drawn from projectivism does justice to a great many of the forces at play in debates surrounding qualia and intentionalism. We should bound toward Strong Projectivism.

Full textAbstract:
Doctors view the best relationship with patients in highly personal and idealistic terms, admitting through discussion of their own experiences that sustained interpersonal relationships with many patients are difficult to establish. For doctors, interpersonal trust with their patients looms as the central feature of strong, effective relationships. The ability to relate to patients on deeper psychological and emotional levels was the key focus for them in their work. They also cited other roles, such as friend and expert advisor, as important in gaining patient trust. Doctors’ views and their best patient relationship experiences emphasized the benefits of dyadic care delivery, even as the notion of the relational dyad finds less support within health care, given over instead to higher volume, transactionally oriented care relationships between organizations and patients.

Full textAbstract:
Military sexual trauma (MST) continues to be a widespread area of concern and has received much attention across the nation over the past decade. MST is a significant risk factor for developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The military component of MST makes this trauma even more of a risk factor due to the military culture of developing strong emotional bonds of trust essential for combat operations. Due to the paucity of evidence based treatments for PTSD secondary to MST, many treatment facilities would treat PTSD secondary to MST and combat PTSD with the same therapies, however, this proved to be insufficient. The Psychiatry Continuity Service at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center recognized this gap in treatment and specifically designed an outpatient intensive day program to provide a comprehensive clinical interventions targeting MST.

Full textAbstract:
Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick’s The Blair Witch Project (1999) launched the horror subgenre of “found footage”—pseudodocumentary horror—into the mainstream. The film was marketed as a true story and features the footage of three student filmmakers who got lost on a trip to document the Blair Witch phenomenon. The film was remarkably effective in using simple cinematic techniques to generate an authenticity aesthetic, and in using a suggestive multiplatform advertising campaign, thus capturing audience interest and generating strong emotional responses. The film tapped into evolved defense mechanisms through its depiction of vulnerable youths getting lost in an unknown, hostile natural environment and being hunted by some malignant, apparently supernatural agent. The film’s promise of authenticity, of real horror, made the narrative premise even more salient to audiences.

Full textAbstract:
Strong theory and research implicates parent–child conversations about the past in the child’s development of critical skills, including autobiographical memory and understanding of emotion and minds. Yet very little research has focused on associations between reminiscing and the development of childhood psychopathology. This chapter considers what is known about reminiscing between parents and children where there is anxiety or conduct problems. These findings provide clues as to how children come to manifest difficulties in autobiographical memory and emotion competence. Thereafter, the text reviews studies that have attempted to alter the style and content of parent–child reminiscing in clinical populations. The full implications of parent–child reminiscing, as a rich context for children’s development, have yet to be realized in clinically relevant research.

Full textAbstract:
A study of conflicting passions in Hume’s theory reveals that several psychological principles explain how these passions interact, often making the dominant passion even stronger. Hume’s distinction between violent passions and causally strong ones, and between calm passions and causally weak ones, is essential to his theory of motivation; however, it introduces questions about our ability to moderate emotional upheaval. The person most likely to find true happiness has “strength of mind”: the prevalence of calm passions over violent ones, such as concern for long-term good over intensely-felt interest in short-term good. Several principles emerge from Hume’s discussion of passionate dynamics to explain how a person deficient in this virtue might develop it. Self-moderation of the passions is possible, contrary to the warnings of the early modern rationalists, although within certain limits.

Martin, Fran. Dreams of Flight. Duke University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/9781478022220.
Full textAbstract:
In Dreams of Flight, Fran Martin explores how young Chinese women negotiate competing pressures on their identity while studying abroad. On one hand, unmarried middle-class women in the single-child generations are encouraged to develop themselves as professional human capital through international education, molding themselves into independent, cosmopolitan, career-oriented individuals. On the other, strong neotraditionalist state, social, and familial pressures of the post-Mao era push them back toward marriage and family by age thirty. Martin examines these women’s motivations for studying in Australia and traces their embodied and emotional experiences of urban life, social media worlds, work in low-skilled and professional jobs, romantic relationships, religion, Chinese patriotism, and changed self-understanding after study abroad. Martin illustrates how emerging forms of gender, class, and mobility fundamentally transform the basis of identity for a whole generation of Chinese women.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter presents a selective overview of the study of identity. Identity is defined broadly as self-understandings, especially those with strong emotional resonances, and often marked with socially constructed raced, gendered, classed, and sexual identity labels. The definition of identity is based on two assumptions: (a) the study of identity is the study of subject formation and (b) identity is about power. The chapter then proceeds to address two aspects of cultural identity as a concept: first, the power that cultural identity has for identity politics, followed by the political dimensions of cultural identity as used by oppressed and minoritized groups in social movements and activism, especially those related to education. The chapter then focuses on the relevance of identity to address difference in education and concludes with asserting the importance of qualitative research in the study of identity.

Walker, Elsie. Amour. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190495909.003.0009.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter is the culminating analysis of the book because Amour incorporates many sonic patterns that are representative of Haneke’s work, though it also handles these same patterns in surprising ways. The film features Haneke’s most subtly and tenderly demanding sound track to date, and this chapter explores how it rewards close analysis in relation to the director’s previous work. The chapter also provides extended consideration of Emmanuelle Riva’s performance as the female protagonist, emphasizing her subversively strong sonic presence. Along with refusing to reduce the ailing and aged woman to an image of decay, the film repeatedly amplifies her sonic power. In connection with the compassion of Amour, we return to misunderstandings of Haneke’s work that have led to critical presumptions of his emotional coldness. Ironically, we will find that Amour is Haneke’s most moving and aurally nuanced appeal to our imaginations and hearts.

Full textAbstract:
Group interventions offer effective and efficient ways to educate patients, treat illnesses, and facilitate healing and support for a variety of physical, emotional, and social challenges. Patients feel vulnerable and fearful when ill and value the opportunity to tell their narratives in cohesive groups. Group interventions can target specific diseases, symptoms, skill-building strategies, life stages, or vulnerable patient populations to help improve patient, disease, and health care outcomes within integrated health care settings and other specialty practices. In integrated care settings, group interventions inherently use multidisciplinary teams to deliver care at the highest level of each staff member’s training. When restructuring medical practices to include group medical visits, important considerations include thorough training of group facilitators, strong administrative support, adequate clinical space, and a navigable billing structure. In addition to professionally led groups, peer-led support groups can empower patients to adopt healthy behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
Self-injurious behaviors represent a heterogeneous group of behaviors that affect the individual negatively either in a physiological, physical, and/or emotional manner. Many children who have survived a traumatic event engage in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) as a diversely expressed, maladaptive coping mechanism that has been associated with a variety of negative outcomes across the lifespan. The current chapter discusses the preclinical literature that informs our understanding of these behaviors, the various instruments used to assess them, and research on adults and children who engage in self-injurious behaviors (SIB). Several theoretical models for the neurological substrates of SIB are compared, suggesting that SIB use several parts of the brain to manage otherwise uncontrollable cascades of negative affect in PTSD. Challenges, such as the stigma surrounding SIB engagement and its strong association with borderline personality disorder, as well as future directions, including potential SIB directed pharmacological interventions, are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter argues that India has a strong interest to balance China and that the two Asian giants will not be able grow together without conflict. However, India will not be able to balance China’s rise. The chapter argues that India remains stuck between nonalignment and nonperformance. On the one hand, it resists the prospect of a new coalition that balances China from the maritime fringes of Eurasia, especially if that coalition is led by the United States. On the other hand, it has failed to strengthen its own capabilities. Its military power lags behind China’s, its efforts to reach out to both East and Central Asia have ended in disappointment, and its economic reforms have gone nowhere. As a result of that economic underachievement, India finds itself also torn between emotional nationalism and paralyzing political fragmentation, which, in turn, will further complicate its role as a regional power.

Full textAbstract:
The fourth chapter takes us to the regulation of sexuality, specifically developing the relation of such regulation to the formation and operation of identity groups. The first section argues that there are complex ways in which identity categories may interact with emotional attitudes to produce different sorts of identity oppositions. Disgust seems especially important in defining the limits of tolerance, including limits enforced by coercion or violence. Moreover, disgust appears to have a particularly strong connection with sexuality. The chapter goes on to consider Bhaṭṭa Jayánta’s Āgamaḍambara, a tenth-century work from Kashmir that directly treats sexuality and social tolerance across identity groups. Specifically, it suggests the profound importance of sexual liberation—not only for sexual minorities, but for a range of groups that might be subjected to social exclusion. From here, the chapter turns to Banks’s Lost Memory of Skin, a novel treating current U.S. practices surrounding sexual offenders.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter looks at female star narratives of the 1920s and 1930s, from The Extra Girl (1923) and Souls for Sale (1923) to Alice in Movieland (1940) and Star Dust (1940), discussing their historical if increasingly anachronistic basis in the problematic figure of “the movie-struck girl.” This was the figuration of the female fan of the silent era who went to Hollywood in search of economic, emotional, and sexual independence. The contradictions raised by the “movie-struck girl” were inherent in the institutionalization of female stardom. Thus, these tensions structure early star narratives, which equate Hollywood with stardom. But far from simply catering to fan girls as a means of reinforcing their investment in Hollywood stardom, these backstudio pictures feature strong, active, and desiring young women set in counterpoint to the manipulative or paternal-minded men running the industry and for whom female stars are commodities.

Full textAbstract:
There are many unscheduled contacts between children and clinicians, and therefore many opportunities for clinicians to identify previously unsuspected problems that parents may not already have suspected. There are three distinct foci during assessment, namely the child, the parent(s), and the parent–child relationship. Any of these can alert the practitioner to potential concerns, regardless of the presenting issue. Practitioners need to be aware of, and alert to, concerns about physical and social/emotional development, as well as signs of maltreatment and neglect. In addition, it is important to be able to evaluate the quality of parenting a child experiences, as this is a strong predictor of future mental and physical health. While this is an area in which clinicians may feel less confident or skilled, there is evidence to suggest that continuity of care and a trusting parent–clinician relationship provide an arena in which problems can be raised, aired, and more satisfactorily addressed.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 8 considers critical debate about “double standards” over sex and violence in Intimacy and Nymph()maniac. Exploring discussion between Intimacy’s lead actor Kerry Fox and her partner, it argues that the agreement reached (for Fox to perform oral but not penetrative sex) was a “controlled experiment” in jealousy via personal emotional affect and public performance and thus a powerful demonstration in confluent love negotiation shared with audiences. The trust and openness with each other in private, and between Fox and director Chéreau in public, are also central to notions of trust and mistrust in risk sociology, though with some strong critiques from within its ranks for its tendency to follow a meta-history devoid of differences among age, gender, class, ethnicity, and other key social indicators. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the interdisciplinary blend of feminist film and risk sociological theory in approaching the two films, within key principles of feminist mapping theory.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 5 proposes that when the experience of unfairness is coupled with uncertainty and other threatening information, this is likely to exacerbate the radicalization process. The chapter introduces the concept of uncertainty and reviews evidence that suggests that under conditions of uncertainty, people are more in need of reassurance that their views on how the world works are valid and that their culture is viewed positively. The chapter distinguishes between people being uncertain about themselves (personal uncertainty or insecurity) and people not having enough relevant information available (informational uncertainty). Personal uncertainty is an alarming experience with strong affective and emotional reactions and can be linked to the human alarm system, a basic system that people use to make sense of their worlds and that this book relates to processes of radicalization (see Figure 5.1). Being uncertain about whether one can trust important authorities in delayed-return cultures also plays an important role.

Full textAbstract:
At another big moment in Chariton, the queen of Persia arrives by sea and is restored to her astonished husband. The passage conveys with refinement the mixed feelings of the king, who loves both his wife and Callirhoe, the heroine of the novel. It also conveys with refinement the meeting of the husband and wife, and the wife’s handling of the king’s mixed feelings, and her own. Rhythm helps the subtlety here, as well as the strong depiction of emotion. Apparently simple physical narrative is charged with point, as rhythm invites the reader to linger over phrases.
