Acclaimed publisher and editor Neil Astley, founder of Bloodaxe Books, guest-edits this special transatlantic all-poetry issue, featuring poets from North America, Great Britain, and Ireland. The issue contains a stirring diversity of work, with writers who have roots everywhere from Guyana to Pakistan to Zambia, and also features poetry in Welsh, Irish, and Scottish Gaelic. Much of the work is from accomplished British poets who are still little-known in the States. As Astley writes in his introduction, the issue aims to break down “the illogical divide between readerships on either side of the Atlantic,” and spark a conversation that will enliven and invigorate both poetic traditions.

Case Formulation After Engel—The 4P Model: A Philosophical Case Conference
Authors: Bolton Jonathan W.
Published: May 2015

Abstract: The best known model for case formulation in the last 50 years was George Engel’s Biopsychosocial model. It expanded the compass of medical investigation and it promised a scheme by which to organize clinical information for more adequate understanding and more effective interventions. Despite its claimed advantages, it has not been adopted by clinicians. This article examines reasons for this failure. It argues for the therapeutic value of case formulation (as a complement to diagnosis), and presents an alternative schema by which clinicians can organize information into the four moments of a clinical problem: its origins (preconditions), precipitating factors, perpetuating factors, and protective factors. Unlike Engel’s hierarchically organized, synchronic schema, the 4P schema is developmental, diachronic, and clinically intuitive. The 4P schema encourages ‘thick’ case formulations as the basis of wise treatment interventions. The last section describes two seminar series in which the structure and elements of the 4P schema were presented to third-year psychiatry residents.
Mental Disorder and the Concept of Authenticity
Authors: Erler Alexandre , Hope Tony
Published: May 2015

Abstract: Authenticity has recently emerged as an important issue in discussions of mental disorder. We show, on the basis of personal accounts and empirical studies, that many people with psychological disorders are preoccupied with questions of authenticity. Most of the data considered in this paper are from studies of people with bipolar disorder and anorexia nervosa. We distinguish the various ways in which these people view the relationship between the disorder and their sense of their authentic self. We discuss the principal modern accounts of authenticity within the analytic philosophical tradition. We argue that accounts based on autonomous, or wholehearted, endorsement of personal characteristics fail to provide an adequate analysis of authenticity in the context of mental disorder. Significant elements of true self accounts of authenticity are required. The concept of authenticity is a basic one that can be of particular value, in the context of self-development, to people with mental disorder and to others experiencing substantial inner conflict.
Can Psychiatry Distinguish Social Deviance From Mental Disorder?
Authors: Abouelleil Rashed Mohammed , Bingham Rachel
Published: May 2015

Abstract: Can psychiatry distinguish social deviance from mental disorder? Historical and recent abuses of psychiatry indicate that this is an important question to address. Typically, the deviance/disorder distinction has been made, conceptually, on the basis of dysfunction. Challenges to naturalistic accounts of dysfunction suggest that it is time to adopt an alternative strategy to draw the deviance/disorder distinction. This article adopts and follows through such a strategy, which is to draw the distinction in terms of the origins of distress with the relevant conditions. It is argued that psychiatry’s ability to distinguish deviance from disorder rests on the ability to define, identify, and exclude socially constituted forms of distress. These should lie outside the purview of candidacy for mental disorder. In pursuing this argument, the article provides an analysis of the social origins of a form of distress with the personality and sexual disorders, and indicates in what ways it is constituted socially.
‘Gotta keep the customer satisfied’: Puppeteers as director-surrogates in The Cabin in the Woods
Authors: Kooyman Ben
Published: May 2015

The postmodern horror comedy The Cabin in the Woods by Goddard (2012) depicts the heavily engineered ritual sacrifice of a group of college students on a recreational getaway. The chief orchestrators of this sacrifice – dubbed ‘puppeteers’ by the film’s protagonists – are Sitterson and Hadley, who in the film clearly inhabit the role of horror director-surrogates. While the parallels between their work and the film-making process have been widely noted, little has been said about what their on-screen representation actually has to say about horror film-makers. This ­article identifies four key premises on which the narrative hinges – that Sitterson and Hadley are journeyman directors rather than auteurs, that the directorial process is collaborative rather than auteur-centred, that horror directors must work with a prescribed number of finite formulas, and that their work is of considerable societal value – elucidating within The Cabin in the Woods a dialectical dialogue around the role, value and function of contemporary horror film authorship.
‘We are not who we are’: Lovecraftian conspiracy and magical humanism in The Cabin in the Woods
Authors: Lockett Christopher
Published: May 2015

Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard’s film The Cabin in the Woods (2012) conflates the two genres of slasher horror and conspiracy theory in such a way that articulates a trenchant critique of two totalizing grad narratives: religion and instrumental reason. Indeed, in the suturing of the story of a vast, technocratic conspiracy onto a Lovecraftian mythos about ancient gods demanding blood sacrifice, Cabin effectively dramatizes the central thesis of Dialectic of Enlightenment, by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer (2002), insofar as blind adherence to rationality (manifested in the hyperadvanced technology of the conspiracy) is transformed into the madness of unreason. In marrying the supernatural and the technological, however, the film opens a space in which to articulate a humanist ethos, one best described as ‘magical humanism’.
When Dorian meets Holmes: An interview with Scott Handcock
Authors: Ue Tom
Published: May 2015

Completed shortly after the first series, this interview with Scott Handcock explores his creative process with The Confessions of Dorian Gray (2012-present), an ongoing audio-play series for the British company Big Finish Productions. Handcock, a writer, producer, and director based in Cardiff, has worked on Doctor Who for both AudioGo and Big Finish, and Bernice Summerfield (1998-present), Gallifrey (2004-present), and Dark Shadows (2006-present). Dorian Gray stars Alexander Vlahos as its titular character. In 2014, Handcock’s full-cast dramatization of Frankenstein, adapted by Jonathan Barnes, stars Arthur Darvill as Victor Frankenstein and Nicholas Briggs as the Creature. In this interview, we examine Handcock’s views about horror, and how our understandings of Wilde’s character and horror change as his story is set in different times and spaces.
