Book SynopsisWe all long to live a fulfilled and happy life – a life that offers us love and opportunity, independence and hope. Sadly, for many people struggling with mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders and addiction, recovery and a future full of potential may seem to be unachievable goals.In The Life Well Lived Professor Jim Lucey focuses on how a range of contemporary therapies can provide pathways to recovery. Through insightful case histories, he also explores issues such as stigma and other barriers to recovery, the true meaning of wellness, and how the rediscovery of a life of independence and social connection is not only possible but entirely achievable. Positive and optimistic, The Life Well Lived shines a light into the psychotherapeutic world – a world which is so often feared and misunderstood.Trade ReviewThe experience of “mental illness” can be a frightening and isolating experience, and the plethora of advice and information about therapies can add to the confusion.

It is a tribute to his style that he can convey complex ideas in an easy to understand manner. There are many reasons why this book is important. The foremost reason is about education and de-stigmatisation of mental illness. * Dinesh Bhugra CBE, Emeritus Professor, King's College London *This is an excellent book from Ireland's top mental health professional. It includes seven case studies to illuminate the modern therapeutic interventions in mental health. It also includes chapters outlining these therapeutic approaches. This is a very important piece of work for anyone seeking a better understanding of mental health. * Goodreads *

Oxford University Press The Mental Health of Medical Students
Book SynopsisMedical students are the medical workforce of the future, responsible for both individual and population health. With an ageing global population, changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the increased computerisation and roboticization of medicine, doctors will require ever more flexibility, foresight, and courage going forward. It is crucial that their training equips them for the challenges ahead. However, recent research has found worryingly high levels of stress and burnout amongst these individuals, leading to more students dropping out or leaving the profession early. This volume presents research findings on the rates of burnout in medical students from around the world and provides ideas for a model of care to help educators and individuals take steps towards better student wellbeing.

Gorman (CEO & chief scientific officer, Franklin Behavioral Health; The Essential Guide to Psychiatric Drugs) collaborate to explain why many people deny scientifically established facts, even in the face of compelling evidence...Perfect for fans of the subject and Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow. * Library Journal, Starred Review *Perhaps a new book, Denying to the Grave by public health specialists (a father and daughter team) Sara Gorman and Jack Gorman, can help us understand why facts and statistics fall on deaf ears time and time again...The book is thoughtful, exploring the psychology, neurobiology and evolutionary roots that underpin some of our decision-making, which can make adaptive behaviour maladaptive. * New Scientist *In [Denying to the Grave], the Gormans explain not just how people fall for the false claims of politicians, but also how intelligent people wind up in cults or why a nation wracked by gun violence continues to reject gun-control measure... [The Gormans are] equal opportunity debunkers, taking on GMO fear-mongering and anti-vaxers along with the National Rifle Association. * The Atlantic *Why do so many cling to beliefs that run counter to evidence? Sara Gorman, a public health expert, and Jack Gorman, a psychiatrist, investigate the psychological factors that lead to such self-defeating denial of facts and conclude that normal, evolutionarily adaptive tendencies act against us. * Scientific American *A thought-provoking and entertaining examination of science denial focusing on the reasons that some of us are prone to developing opinions that are not supported by science and then hold on to these opinions in the face of evidence to the contrary. The authors' use of research to back up their arguments provides rigor while their use of anecdotes and stories makes the text more approachable.

Oxford University Press Inc The Triumph of Doubt Dark Money and the Science
Book SynopsisWell-heeled American corporations have long had a financial stake in undermining scientific consensus and manufacturing uncertainty. In The Triumph of Doubt, former Obama and Clinton official David Michaels details how corrupt science becomes public policy -- and where it''s happening today. Opioids. Concussions. Obesity. Climate Change.America is a country of everyday crises -- big, long-spanning problems that persist despite their toll on the country''s health. And for every case of government inaction on one of these issues, there is a set of familiar, doubtful refrains: The science is unclear. The data are inconclusive. Regulation is unjustified. It''s a slippery slope.Is it?The Triumph of Doubt traces the ascendance of science-for-hire in American life and government, from its origins in the tobacco industry in the 1950s to its current manifestations across government, public policy, and even professional sports. Amid fraught conversations of alternative facts and truth decay, The Triumph of Doubt wields its unprecedented access to shine a light on the machinations and scope of manipulated science in American society. It is an urgent, revelatory work, one that promises to reorient conversations around science and the public good for the foreseeable future.Trade Review[Michaels] documents not only a shocking disregard for human welfare on the part of big business, but also a co-ordinated effort to compromise the culture of knowledge itself. * Times Literary Supplement *...chock full of good examples that were clearly researched (averaging over 30 references per chapter) and supplemented with Michaels' personal experiences. I think any scientist who wants to bridge the realm of research, policy, politics and ethics would benefit from reading this book. * JULIE POLLOCK, Chemistry World *It is so refreshing to read David Michaels' The Triumph of Doubt. He has the facts researched, vetted and thoroughly cited, and is not afraid to lay blame, call people liars and companies frauds. * San Francisco Review of Books *David Michaels opens our eyes to the methods corporations employ that bend the facts of science in order to make a profit. * Chemistry World *David Michaels is that rare combination: the fearless expert. He not only knows where the bodies are buried, he knows who buried them. The Triumph of Doubt and its predecessor, Doubt Is Their Product, are timely, readable, and essential guides for anyone seeking to understand how the corruption of science is damaging the health of everyone from football players and factory workers to soda drinkers and truck drivers-in short, anyone with a pulse. * Dan Fagin, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Toms River *David Michaels lays bare the dark money and the corporate science racket that kept the lethalities of tobacco, asbestos, lead, silica, pesticides, and scores of other life- and health-destroying products on the market and in the workplace, escaping the reach of the law. He names names of people and companies fronted by their so-called 'product defense' business and its corporate attorney enablers; delays, obfuscation, falsehood, and retaliation against ethical whistleblowers are the coins of their insidious realms. This book is written to get you angry enough to want to learn how to defend yourselves, your communities, and our vulnerable planet. Let it grip you toward detection and defiance." * Ralph Nader *As a society, it's vital we properly debate issues using data and research. The Triumph of Doubt, David Michaels's wonderfully deep dive into the well-funded war on scientific consensus and certainty, makes the stakes clear: our planet. Read this." * Adam Savage, Mythbusters *No one has done more to expose the deep corruption in American safety regulation that harms us all-and especially our kids. After spending seven years as America's chief safety regulator, David Michaels offers a beautifully crafted argument for how much more we need to do. Required-if frightening-reading for anyone who cares about a clean and safe environment for America and the world." * Lawrence Lessig, author of Fidelity and Constraint *A page-turner-one you'll wish was fiction. From hired guns to dark money, The Triumph of Doubt unravels corporations' playbook for deceiving the public through misinformation.^ * Mona Hanna-Attisha, author of What the Eyes Don't See *The Triumph of Doubt is an industry-by-industry account of how corporations manipulate science and scientists to promote profits, not public health. Nothing less than democracy is at stake here, and we all should be responding right away to David Michaels' call for action. * Marion Nestle, author of Unsavory Truth *It takes real courage to speak out against entrenched corporate interests and big industry. I saw that courage firsthand when I worked alongside Dr. Michaels in the Obama administration to protect workers at construction sites from cancer-causing silica dust. The Triumph of Doubt doesn't just tell the story of how we overcame the falsehoods of industry-funded studies, it shines a disinfecting light on the ways corporations obscure the truth and downplay risk to pump up their bottom line. This is a must-read." * Tom Perez, former U.S. Labor Secretary *A compelling and necessary work for anyone interested in the truth and those who seek to bury it. Michaels details the methods used by those in power to hide the truth-and the moral bankruptcy at work when they do so." * Demaurice Smith, National Football League Players Association Executive Director *As a third-generation coal miner from a family who has suffered the deadly consequences of Black Lung, I know firsthand that worker safety should never be politicized. David Michaels's book is a must-read for business, labor and the scientific community." * Richard Trumka, AFL-CIO President *David Michaels provides well-written evidence in his book about how corporations that produce dangerous products-tobacco, big oil, chemicals, pharmaceuticals-use 'product defense' science to sow doubt about the hazards hidden in their products to consumers. His evidence highlights the important role unbiased government scientists play in protecting the public health of Americans and our environment from exposure to toxic materials and from corporate deceit. * Senator Tom Udall *From the pharmaceutical industry's role in the opioid crisis to the Koch brothers' climate denial apparatus, Michaels examines big industry's jarring history of manufacturing false scientific doubt in the name of profit. This is an important book that will serve as a tool in exposing corporate deceit. * Senator Sheldon Whitehouse *Whether it's the tobacco industry, the pharmaceutical industry, or the fossil fuel industry, vested interests have repeatedly sought to attack and discredit scientific findings that have revealed the public endangerment by their products. David Michaels should know-he's been fighting the good fight for more than a decade to expose the bad actors and bring them to justice. Read this book to learn what we're up against and how to fight back. * Michael E. Mann, author of The Madhouse Effect *Poisoning the well of public debate is the ultimate act of cynicism. As David Michaels makes breathtakingly clear, one industry after another has lied and manipulated in order to make more money, and the rest of us have borne the terrible costs." * Bill McKibben, author of Falter *While the truth can be inconvenient, corporations and government leaders cannot continue to manufacture alternative narratives that place their interests and profits above our humanity; this culture, if left unchallenged, will result in our doom. The Triumph of Doubt reminds us that there can only be one truth." * Bennet Omalu, author of Truth Doesn't Have a Side *Few people have done more to document disinformation about science than David Michaels. His new book is an important addition to the growing literature on doubt, disinformation, and deception. * Naomi Oreskes, author of Merchants of Doubt *In the NFL, team doctors answer to the organization; players joke that it's like Dracula running the blood bank. It's a microcosm of what David Michaels brilliantly illuminates in The Triumph of Doubt: When corporations manipulate science and launch marketing campaigns to sow doubt, they ensure human suffering. Michaels's work is vital reading for everyone to understand these industry tactics. * Chris Borland, former NFL player *Scientist, public servant, and passionate advocate for health and safety, Michaels has written an absorbing sequel to his path-breaking work on manufactured doubt.

Oxford University Press Inc Kid Food
Book SynopsisMost parents start out wanting to raise healthy eaters. Then the world intervenes. In Kid Food, nationally recognized writer and food advocate Bettina Elias Siegel explores one of the fundamental challenges of modern parenting: trying to raise healthy eaters in a society intent on pushing children in the opposite direction. Siegel dives deep into the many influences that make feeding children healthfully so difficult-from the prevailing belief that kids will only eat highly processed kid food to the near-constant barrage of special treats. Written in the same engaging, relatable voice that has made Siegel''s web site The Lunch Tray a trusted resource for almost a decade, Kid Food combines original reporting with the hard-won experiences of a mom to give parents a deeper understanding of the most common obstacles to feeding children well: - How the notion of picky eating undermines kids'' diets from an early age-and how parents'' anxieties about pickiness are stoked and exploited by indTrade ReviewKid Food gets me asking tough questions: is the profit of a couple companies really more important than getting kids to eat healthy? * Rebecca Boehm, Union of Concerned Scientists *One of the Best Books of 2019 (So Far) * Real Simple *A blueprint for how to raise healthy eaters in a fast-food culture * New York Times *Powerful, encouraging advocacy . . . . KID FOOD equips parents with the wisdom and strategies they'll need to raise-and feed-healthier kids. * Foreword Reviews *The book shines a critical light on numerous practices . . .

And everyone who doesn't should read it, too. Siegel is thoughtful, practical, and fearless-a combination that should worry the food companies now threatening the health of all Americans. * Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation *With meticulous research and easy, conversational prose, Siegel makes an irrefutable case for changing the broken food system that feeds our children. * Alice Waters, owner of Chez Panisse and founder of the Edible Schoolyard Project *Siegel is a leader and a veteran in the movement to feed our kids well, and Kid Food is a primer on what we'll need to do to get that done. * Mark Bittman, author of How to Cook Everything and editor-in-chief of Heated *Siegel does more than explain why 'carnival food' is now the everyday norm; she lays out the specific ways to approach food more positively at home-and in the larger community-to foster change. * Ellie Krieger, cookbook author and host of Ellie's Real Good Food *Gorgeously written, heartfelt, and deeply compelling.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Personcentred Health Care
Book SynopsisPerson-centred health care is increasingly endorsed as a key element of high-quality care, yet, in practice, it often means patient-centred health care. This book scrutinizes the principle of primacy of patient welfare, which, although deeply embedded in health professionalism, is long overdue for critical analysis and debate. It appears incontestable because patients have greater immediate health needs than clinicians and the patient-clinician encounter is often recognized as a moral enterprise as well as a service contract. However, Buetow argues that the implication that clinician welfare is secondary can harm clinicians, patients and health system performance.Revaluing participants in health care as moral equals, this book advocates an ethic of virtue to respect the clinician as a whole person whose self-care and care from patients can benefit both parties, because their moral interests intertwine and warrant equal consideration. It then considers how to move from values Table of Contents1. Introduction Part 1: The Need for Change2. Clinician Care of the Patient3. Patient Self-care4. Clinician Self-care5.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Tracking People
Book SynopsisTracking technologies are now ubiquitous and are part of many people's everyday lives. Large sections of the population voluntarily use devices and apps to track fitness, medical conditions, sleep, vital signs or their own or others' whereabouts. Governments, health services, immigration and criminal justice agencies increasingly rely upon tracking technologies to monitor individuals' whereabouts, behaviour, medical conditions and interventions. Despite the human rights concerns of some organisations and individuals, most wearers and their significant others tend to welcome the technologies. This paradox is only one of the many fascinating challenges raised by the widespread use of tracking technologies which are explored in this book.This book critically explores the ethical, legal, social, and technical issues arising from the current and future use of tracking technologies. It provides a unique and wide-ranging discussion, via a cross-disciplinary collection of essays, on Table of Contents1.Tracking people: an introduction Anthea Hucklesby and Raymond Holt 2.GPS tracking in care settings: attending to the socio-material context of use Joe Wherton, Trisha Greenhalgh, Sara Shaw, Rob Procter and Jay Shaw 3.Using tracking technologies well: the contribution of the concepts of ‘tightness’ or ‘grip’ Anthea Hucklesby 4.Proportionality and monitoring: penal vs care contexts Tom Sorell 5.‘He’s doing a hokey cokey’: everyday calculations and controversies of digitally mediated punishment in Scotland Ryan Casey 6.Tracking in the interests of counter-terrorism Jessie Blackbourn and Clive Walker 7.Smartphone electronic monitoring (EM), Artificial Intelligence and the mass supervision question in the USA Mike Nellis 8.Reducing opioid related deaths for individuals who are at high risk of overdose: a co-production study Anne Campbell, Sharon Millen, Amanda Taylor-Beswick and Li Guo 9.Using geolocation-based technologies for monitoring people with severe mental illness Niels Peek, Paolo Fraccaro and Sabine van der Veer 10.Tracking people and sociotechnical systems design Raymond Holt 11.Apple AirTags as people trackers Neil McBride

Taylor & Francis Ltd Perspectives on a Young Womans Suicide
Book SynopsisPerspectives on a Young Woman''s Suicide is a unique and updated analysis of a diary left behind by Katie, a young woman who took her own life. By drawing on clinicians, researchers, survivors of suicide loss, and those closest to Katie, this book delves into common beliefs about why people die by suicide and into the internal worlds of those who do, as well as ethical and moral questions surrounding those deaths. Several contributors discuss Katie's suicide from the perspective of recent theories of suicide, including Joiner's interpersonal theory and Klonsky's three-step theory. Two contributors who have lost a child to suicide look at Katie's diary from their perspective, one of whom discusses whether it is truly possible to prevent suicide. Finally, Katie's sister reveals her reactions to this project and her ex-boyfriend shares his account of her death. This book is a vital addition to the library of any researcher, academic, or professional interested inTrade Review"Lester and Gunn have provided a brilliant set of new essays on Katie's diary. This is a stunning and diverse collection of international and interdisciplinary views on the diary of a woman who died by suicide. The new edition continues to suggest that any singular view is inadequate and needs to be supplemented by others in efforts to fully understand suicide." — Steven Stack, PhD, Wayne State University, director of the Center for Suicide Research"Highly recommended to all suicide researchers and students. Reading Katie’s diary is like having Katie speaking to you directly, especially about all the pains she was going through. Katie’s diary was carefully analyzed by prominent researchers in this field through various contemporary theoretical frameworks and concepts, which further illustrates the complexity of understanding the suicidal mind." — Bob Lew, PhD, Department of Social Psychology, faculty of Human Ecology, Putra University of Malaysia Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd parkrun
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to take an in-depth look at parkrun - the free, weekly, timed 5km run on a Saturday morning - and to examine why its participants love it so much and why it has been such an astonishing success.Author David Hindley a self-described middle of the pack' parkrunner draws on new research, including interviews with other runners, volunteers and organisers, to shine a light on the unique combination of ingredients in parkrun's magic formula. Tracing the development of parkrun from its first event in the UK in 2004 to the global network of today, he takes a close look at themes like inclusion, volunteering, community, green space, health and well-being, and unpacks the mantra of it's a run not a race' that has come to define the spirit of parkrun for so many of its participants. Part sporting event, part social movement, and part public health intervention, parkrun perhaps offers a model for sustainable public participation in other areas of social life.Trade Review"Such an interesting read, offering a real insight into the impact and benefits of parkrun. Not only does David Hindley understand parkrun from a parkrunner's perspective, he also understands our organisational purpose and what drives our decision-making and our approach." – Nick Pearson, parkrun CEO 2015 to 2022"An exceptional and comprehensive book which truly captures the essence of parkrun, its extraordinary 18-year history, and the global running revolution it has become for hundreds and thousands of parkrunners and volunteers around the world. David Hindley critically explores parkrun’s humble beginnings, exponential growth and beautiful journey into the parkrun we have come to know and love, and the future prospects of this wonderful community. I particularly enjoyed the author’s personal experiences which are embedded throughout this book offering glimpses into how they use and value parkrun. It made me reflect on my own personal perspective of parkrun, the wonderful people I have met and the amazing communities I have visited. There have been a number of excellent published books which have explored the perspectives of parkrun. In my opinion, this book cements these perspectives, meanwhile being the first to incorporate the plethora of published parkrun research and wider academic literature. A brilliant and insightful read." - Tom George, Run Director Doddington Hall parkrun, UK.Table of Contents1. Introduction: The Rise of parkrun, 2. An Inclusive Community?, 3.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Conversations that Make a Difference for Children
Book SynopsisIn this unique book, international trainer and consultant Lisa Cherry invites professionals from education, social work and healthcare to engage in conversations on a range of pertinent topics and issues affecting children and young people today.Divided into three main parts, which introduce attachment, adversity and trauma, each discussion places an emphasis on emotion and the understanding that we have as humans for compassion, empathy and connection. By encouraging collaboration between sectors and exploring a range of intersecting themes, the conversations take the reader on a winding journey to broaden their depth of thinking, reflect on their practice and to consider the central message: that we can bring about social change, one interaction at a time.This book is a call to action and an opportunity to look around and decide what kind of service we want to provide, what kind of community we want to live in and what sort of legacy we want to leave. At a time of evTrade ReviewThis beautifully written, accessible, jargon-free and thoughtful book is a wonderful contribution to the world of the power of relationships and connections. It combines poetry, with a range of conversations which have been transcribed with people from lots of different sectors and from a range of contexts. Each interview is filled with so much richness and food for thought, as well as bringing people's journeys and stories alive. Lisa then concludes each section with reflective questions which can be the springboard for so much further learning and interweaving of the theme. A joy to read and one to not be missed!Dr Karen Treisman, Clinical PsychologistAt a time when many of us feel the physical and emotional distance caused by a pandemic, this book is a reminder that some of the most important connections come through open and reflective conversations. Lisa facilitates stories of attachment, adversity and trauma with humility and openness. The contributors illustrate the power of embracing vulnerability for growth and learning. Together, they show us that above everything, it is often the capacity to love and to nurture that can make the biggest difference to those we support. The call to action is to keep talking, feeling and learning.Kerry Payne, Early Childhood Special Educational Needs and Disability SpecialistThis book is a must-have for anyone seeking to understand the importance of conversations when working with children and young people. The voices captured in this book are diverse yet what they all have in common is the focus on the transformative impact that conversations can have on lives and outcomes for children and young people. Although the author introduces theoretical perspectives in an accessible way in her desire to reach a diverse audience, the ‘academic’ nuances are not lost as she provides reflective questions, and identifies relevant additional reading. The key message in this book is that ‘conversations matter’ and with that in mind the author and contributors have used their conversations to explain the value of conversations in relationship focussed work.Dr Prospera Tedam, Honorary Visiting Fellow, Anglia Ruskin UniversityI loved this book! It is beautiful in so many ways; the voice of the author can be heard clearly and she brings to it both her personal and professional lived experience – it and we are richer for that. It is accessible to all, with its mix of conversation, signposting (to further reading) and questions, stimulating reflection and, no doubt, new conversations. This book is equally suited to the solitary reader or a book club of those who wish to make a difference to children’s lives, as Lisa Cherry has and continues to do so, with humility and a singular determination. Lisa and her contributors would produce one hell of a dinner party conversation!

Taylor & Francis Curating Access
Book SynopsisThis book is an interdisciplinary collection of twenty-four essays which critically examine contemporary exhibitions and artistic practices that focus on conceptual and creative aspects of access.Oftentimes exhibitions tack on access once the artwork has already been executed and ready to be installed in the museum or gallery. But what if the artists were to ponder access as an integral and critical part of their artwork? Can access be creative and experimental? And furthermore, can the curator also fold access into their practice, while working collaboratively with artists, considering it as a theoretical and practical generative force that seeks to make an exhibition more engaging for a wider diversity of audiences? This volume includes essays by a growing number of artists, curators, and scholars who ponder these ideas of ad-hoc, experimental and underground approaches within exhibition-making and artistic practices. It considers how, through these nascent exhibition model

Not only did it help me to manage my symptoms and get them into perspective, it accelerated the psychological acceptance of menopause.

Taylor & Francis Complex Interventions in Health
Book SynopsisHealth and human services currently face a series of challenges â such as aging populations, chronic diseases and new endemics â that require highly complex responses, and take place in multiple care environments including acute medicine, chronic care facilities and the community. Accordingly, most modern health care interventions are now seen as âcomplex interventionsâ â activities that contain a number of component parts with the potential for interactions between them which, when applied to the intended target population, produce a range of possible and variable outcomes. This in turn requires methodological developments that also take into account changing values and attitudes related to the situation of patientsâ receiving health care.

Book SynopsisNew Techniques of Grief Therapy: Bereavement and Beyond expands on the mission of the previous two Techniques books, featuring innovative approaches to address the needs of those whose lives have been shadowed by losswhether through bereavement, serious illness, the rupture of a relationship, or other complex or intangible losses, such as of an identity-defining career.The book starts with several framing chapters by prominent theorists that provide a big- picture orientation to grief work and follows with a generous toolkit of creative therapeutic techniques described in concrete detail and anchored in illustrative case studies to convey their use in actual practice. New Techniques of Grief Therapy is an indispensable resource for professionals working in hospice, hospital, palliative care, and elder care settings; clinicians in broader health-care and mental health-care practices; executive coaches; and students in the field of grief therapy.Trade Review"Clinicians want—and need—more than theory to guide them in their work with the bereaved. They also seek effective, how-to information to assist those contending with grief of all kinds, whether prompted by death or non-death loss. Nowhere else in the literature can professionals find such a wealth of interventions that help the mourner identify, express, and transform their responses to loss, reaffirm meaning, revamp life narratives, and develop healthy continued connection to lost loved ones. This book is a must have; it’s a veritable gold mine for all who treat the bereaved, from the newest students to the most seasoned therapists."—Therese A. Rando, PhD, BCETS, BCBT, author of Treatment of Complicated Mourning and co-author of Treating Traumatic Bereavement: A Practitioner’s Guide"Robert Neimeyer brings us a third outstanding collection in his excellent series on grief counseling and therapy. It features fifty-nine accessible chapters by authors from around the world; addresses diverse challenges in learning how to live meaningfully not only with bereavement but also with non-death-related losses; and concentrates on concrete techniques (illustrated by real-life examples) for supporting others in meeting those challenges.

Taylor & Francis What Kind of Death
Book SynopsisMany books have been published about physician-assisted death. This book offers a comprehensive and in-depth examination of that subject, but it also extends the discussion to a broader range of end-of-life decisions including suicide, palliative care and sedation until death. In every jurisdiction that has laws permitting some kind of physician-assisted death, a central point of controversy is whether such assistance should only be available to dying patients, or to everyone who wants to end his life. The right to determine the manner and time of oneâs own death, however, does not necessarily mean that physicians should be permitted to cooperate in ensuring a quick and peaceful death. In this book, Govert den Hartogh considers the fundamental and practical matters â including concrete issues of legal regulation â related to end-of life decision making. He proposes a two-tiered system. Everyone should have access to humane means of ending his life, if his decision to end it i

Taylor & Francis Gender and Divorce in Europe 1600 â 1900
Book SynopsisGetting divorced and remarried are now common practices in European societies, even if the rules differ from one country to the next. Civil marriage law still echoes religious marriage law, which for centuries determined which persons could enter into marriage with each other and how validly contracted marriages could be ended.Religions and denominations also had different regulations regarding whether a divorce only ended marital obligations or also permitted remarriage during the lifetime of the divorced spouse. This book deals with predominantly handwritten documents of divorce proceedings from the British Isles to Western, Central, and Southeastern Europe, and from 1600 to the 1930s. The praxeological analysis reveals the arguments and strategies put forward to obtain or prevent divorce, as well as the social and, above all, economic conditions and arrangements connected with divorce. The contributions break new ground by combining previously often separate fields of reseTable of Contents1.Introduction. 2.Women and Work.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Health and Care in Neoliberal Times
Book SynopsisThis book argues that neoliberal changes in health and social care go beyond resource allocations, priority setting and privatisation, and manifest in an invidious erosion of the quality of our social relationships, including relationships between care provider and care recipient.Critically examining the concept of culture and why shifts in what is considered acceptable practice happen, the book explores the conduct of conduct. It draws together what we know about neoliberalism's impact on the economy and public services with research around governmentality and social change. Looking at breakdowns in the quality of care in the NHS and social care across a range of settings it holds that macro influences, such as austerity and marketisation, cannot explain everything and many of the damaging things that go on in care breakdowns occur in micro-interactions between care provider and care recipient.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Interconnecting the Violences of Men
Book SynopsisThis book aims to expand and enrich understandings of violences by focusing on gendered continuities, interconnections and intersections across multiple forms and manifestations of men's violence. In actively countering, both, the compartmentalisation of studies of violence by type' and form, and the tendency to conceptualise violence narrowly, it aims to flesh out not delimit understandings of violence.Bringing together cross-disciplinary, indeed transdisciplinary, perspectives, this book addresses how what are often seen as specific and separate violences connect closely and intricately with wider understandings of violence, how there are gendered continuities between violences and how gendered violences take many forms and manifestations and are themselves intersectional. Grounded by the recognition that violence is, itself, a form of inequality, the contributors to this volume traverse the intersectional complexities across, both, experiences of violent inequality, and
