Thoughtful Images
Authors: Wartenberg Thomas E. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Thoughtful Images: Illustrating Philosophy Through Art is the first systematic investigation of how artists throughout the ages have illustrated philosophical texts, ideas, concepts, and theories. The book begins by developing a theory of visual illustrations of philosophical texts and undermining what the author calls “the denigration of illustration.” It then takes a more historical approach, beginning in Ancient Greece and Rome and proceeding through medieval illuminations and printed broadsides to the frontispieces of philosophical texts. Throughout, attention is paid to how technological developments enable different means for illustrating philosophy. Painting takes center stage in two chapters that consider how oil paintings illustrate philosophy. The first focuses on three philosophers who use paintings to elucidate their complex theories. The next chapter investigates whether Abstract Expressionism and subsequent art actually do philosophy in a visual medium. The next two chapters are devoted to visual artists’ attempts to illustrate Ludwig Wittgenstein’s texts and ideas. The impact of Wittgenstein’s ideas on artists is remarkable, and the book examines their attempts to illustrate his ideas. The final substantive chapter of the book considers what the author terms graphic philosophy, that is, comics that take philosophy as their subject matter. After developing a theory of comic illustrations, the author looks at four works of graphic philosophy to consider how this relatively new artform is able to develop philosophical ideas. All in all, Thoughtful Images is an innovative work that brings needed attention to a neglected artistic tradition.
Introduction
Authors: Wartenberg Thomas E. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The first chapter introduces the book as a whole. It begins by citing a skeptical challenge to the idea that philosophy can be illustrated only to reject that objection by distinguishing text-based illustrations from concept-based ones. It poses three questions that indicate the issues discussed in the book: 1. Is it possible for a work of visual art to illustrate a philosophical claim or thesis? 2. Are there limitations to the types of philosophical claims or theses that can be illustrated? 3. Can the visual arts actually make a substantive contribution to philosophy by means of a visual image? It explains that although Thoughtful Images is generally organized historically, it also addresses a number of important theoretical issues throughout. This chapter provides readers with a clear roadmap to the book with brief summaries of each chapter. This will aid readers in discovering the complementary relationship between visual artworks and philosophy.
Pre-Modern Illustrations of Philosophy
Authors: Wartenberg Thomas E. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter begins the exploration of how visual illustrations of Western philosophy developed. It focuses on different ways in which philosophy was illustrated prior to the Modern Age, highlighting the impact of changes in technology on illustrations. None of the illustrations in this chapter illustrate specific passages of text, although some do illustrate specific theories put forward by Aristotle, who was regarded by medieval philosophers as the greatest Ancient philosopher. A central issue that is discussed is how these illustrations help their audience understand and remember Aristotle’s complex theories. This chapter also emphasizes the different word-image relationships characteristic of illustrations of philosophy.
Paintings that Illustrate Philosophy
Authors: Wartenberg Thomas E. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the use of paintings to illustrate philosophy. It begins by looking at three paintings that were intended by their creators to illustrate aspects of philosophy. Oil paintings are able to present scenes more realistically than earlier forms of art, and this ability is exploited in these paintings. The chapter then turns to three important philosophers who used paintings in order to illustrate their theories: Nietzsche’s use of Raphael’s Transfiguration, Heidegger’s discussion of Van Gogh’s Shoes, and Foucault’s invocation of Velasquez’s Las Meninas. Each of these paintings was created before the three philosophers articulated their views, so it is surprising that they took the paintings to be illustrations of their theories. The chapter ends with a discussion that justifies this use of works of art not intended to be illustrations.
Modernist Art as Philosophy
Authors: Wartenberg Thomas E. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Having explored in the last chapter some paintings that arguably illustrate philosophical theories, this chapter turns to the question of whether works of art can actually do philosophy. Through a critical examination of Clement Greenberg’s claim that the history of Western art from Manet onward was an attempt to reduce painting to its essential feature, viz., flatness, the chapter reflects on the possibility that works of art can actually present philosophical claims in visual form. The chapter then considers the artist-philosopher Adrian Piper’s critique of Greenberg and Abstract Expressionism and her belief that art inherently has content. Her work Cornered is discussed as another way in which works of art can present philosophical ideas.
Graphic Philosophy
Authors: Wartenberg Thomas E. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
So-called graphic novels are a relatively new literary and artistic form. Perhaps surprisingly, they include works that focus on philosophy and philosophical concepts. This chapter looks at four works of what I term “graphic philosophy,” showing how they include an innovative combination of text and image that allows them to present philosophical ideas in a unique manner. To prepare the way for this discussion, the chapter begins by arguing, paradoxically, that the images present in comics are generally not text-based illustrations for there is no preexisting story for the images to illustrate, although exceptions are acknowledged. Four works of graphic philosophy are examined here. In each one, emphasis is put on how the written text and the visual images interact in different ways. The works are Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth, Unflattening, Understanding Comics, and Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic.
You, a Mental Health Professional
Authors: Willer Jan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses common challenges to developing a professional identity as a mental health professional. These include the reader’s self-concept, professional demeanor, professional clothes, professional appearance and grooming, and the trainee role. Balancing authenticity with professionalism is discussed, as is the need to develop assertiveness and decisiveness. Online professional presentation issues include professional appearance, appropriate backgrounds, and avoiding use of one’s personal phone when online with clients. A discussion of how to determine appropriate clothing for varied clinical settings is included. Controversial appearance issues such as visible tattoos are discussed. Personal scents, potpourri, and scented candles are not recommended due to medical issues such as asthma and migraines that can be triggered in clients. The reader is advised to get their own malpractice insurance.
Your Online Presence, Behavior, and Boundaries
Authors: Willer Jan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses online considerations for new psychotherapists. Maintaining the psychotherapist’s privacy and safety and that of the clients is crucial. Topics covered include client expectations of instantaneous communications, choosing an appropriate email address, and professional and personal online content. The reader is cautioned that clients could follow their online content, so it is important to carefully consider what is posted online. The trainee psychotherapist is advised against starting any branded content before they are a licensed professional. Cautions about what to avoid posting in any online forum are given. Social media topics, such as who it is appropriate to friend, are discussed, as is online dating. The topic of searching for client information online is discussed in detail.
The First Session: Preparation, Tasks, and Structure
Authors: Willer Jan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The tasks and structure for the first psychotherapy session or intake session are outlined in this chapter. The reader is encouraged to organize themselves and their paperwork prior to the first session and be sure that information about common referrals is at hand. Topics include time management, tasks to accomplish, taking notes, starting the session, identifying the presenting problem, establishing rapport, identifying current life problems, making a diagnosis, and evaluating crisis risk. The importance of taking ample notes during any initial meeting is discussed. Two client case examples illustrate these points throughout the chapter. Ending the session effectively and the psychotherapist’s reaction to the session are discussed.
Substance Misuse Disorders: Treatments and Referrals
Authors: Willer Jan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces the reader to the necessity to often assess psychotherapy clients for substance misuse. Specific suggestions are provided for alcohol misuse because of the frequency of this problem. The reader is provided with behavioral definitions of binge drinking, heavy drinking, and drinking in moderation to help them put their clients’ alcohol use in context. Dual-diagnosis treatment, which is simultaneous treatment for both mental illnesses and substance misuse, is introduced. Abstinence versus harm reduction is discussed, as well as some questions that will help the clinician and the client determine which approach might be the best fit. Community recovery groups and other treatments are discussed.
Behavioral Health Emergencies (with Christopher M. King, Miguel Murillo, Elana Gabriel, and Jan Willer)
Authors: Willer Jan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces the beginning psychotherapist to behavioral health emergencies. These emergencies are clinical situations when you learn of a history of abuse or neglect (maltreatment) or when a client appears at elevated risk of future harm to themselves or others. Ethical and legal considerations are discussed. Emergencies discussed are self-harm and suicide, violence risk toward others, child maltreatment, and maltreatment of other vulnerable populations. Mandated reporting is introduced, along with when and how this is required. Management strategies for behavioral health emergencies are introduced. The necessity of supervision and consultation is emphasized, as well as the importance of documentation.
Telling Blackness
Authors: Smalls Krystal A. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Telling Blackness begins with two simple premises: conventional models of the ways people make meaning of the world fail to account for the particularities of Blackness; and accounts of Black life often miss the significance of the smallest and subtlest acts that sustain it. With this introduction of raciosemiotics, the author remaps the field of semiotic anthropology around the specificities of race and the body and remaps contemporary Black Diaspora through the embodied significations of a group of young Liberian women in the United States. This transdisciplinary ethnographic account of their lives helps us reimagine their talk, twerks, and tweets as “tellings” that exceed our understandings of narrative and that potentially act on the world of meaning. And, with careful historical contextualization, we see how such acts reproduce, refuse, or powerfully disregard racial logics that have entangled the United States and Liberia for two centuries. Led by Black feminist scholarship, Telling Blackness also provides a semiotic glimpse into ways of relating that help create complex diasporic intimacies and that sustain Black life beyond survival.
Introduction
Authors: Smalls Krystal A. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The introduction describes the ways in which Telling Blackness explores the multitiered production of a Black semiotic field across two continents and over three centuries. Specifically, it illuminates how important it is that we take seriously the ways a group of young people from Liberia, a central site of Black Diaspora, use a range of signs to performatively act on Black and antiblack worlds and to create complex diasporic relationality. Raciosemiotics is explained, key epistemological terms are introduced, and the author outlines their main conceptual contributions (“telling,” “slow life,” “ways of relating,” and “sonic cartographies”). The author also details their ethical and intellectual concerns and commitments throughout. The section ends with a chapter overview of Telling Blackness’s six subsequent chapters.
Measures of Disease Occurrence, Association, and Causal Effects
Authors: Rothman Kenneth J. , Huybrechts Krista F. , Murray Eleanor J. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
As with most sciences, measurement is a central feature of epidemiology. The fundamental measures used by epidemiologists are incidence rate and incidence proportion (used synonymously with risk), which measure the occurrence of disease; and prevalence proportion, which measures the presence of disease. These measures are compared among different groups to learn about group differences or the effect of exposures of interest. One cannot measure causation directly, but one can aim to derive measures that reflect, to the extent possible, causal effects. Measures can be compared on the absolute scale, based on rate or risk difference, or the relative scale, based on ratios of rates or risks.
Centering Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ADEI) Practices in Leadership
Authors: Araque Juan Carlos , Weiss Eugenia L. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Chapter 10, “Centering Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ADEI) Practices in Leadership,” explores issues of antiracist practices in the workplace. The leader is urged to increase their understanding and critically deconstruct the many ways in which racism and discrimination can impact individuals and communities. The goal is for leaders to develop and implement effective ADEI strategies to make organizations thrive. Given the participatory and inclusive approach required for ADEI work, the road to organizational development and transformation is impacted by many aspects of organizations, such as size, structure, mission, constituency, and geographic location. An ADEI leader must be able to navigate these issues and challenges while supporting their organizations.
Borderless Africa
Authors: Mangeni Francis , Mold Andrew 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The African Continental Free Trade Area, established in 2018, represented a monumental step forward for Africa in terms of meeting longstanding aspirations for greater economic and political integration. But it has nonetheless been met with skepticism in some quarters, both within the continent and beyond. Borderless Africa makes the case for the AfCFTA in an accessible and compelling way, without shying away from technical and academic debates. The book takes the reader through the different dimensions and implications of the AfCFTA, the largest free-trade zone in the world, starting with its underlying economic rationale. Pointing to historical examples of successful regional integration, they argue that the African continent will need to take on board lessons from these experiences as the agreement is implemented. They discuss, too, the more controversial elements of the AfCFTA, including the freedom of movement protocol, contending that this should not be seen as an optional extra, but as an intrinsic part of the accord. Also exploring the role of external partners in the construction of an economically stronger, more united Africa, this study reveals how the AfCFTA will contribute to economic development across the continent.
“Taking a line for a walk”
Authors: Nel Philip 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Discussing the role of line in art, this chapter introduces compositions of Paul Klee and Saul Steinberg and their potential influence on the style of both Harold and Crockett Johnson. Many moments in Klee’s Pedagogical Sketchbook resonate strongly with Harold and the Purple Crayon. In the opening pages of Harold and the Purple Crayon, Harold creates an abstraction with the stability of architecture and the velocity of emotion. Thus, the book begins with a paradox since the random crayon strokes of a small boy have the careful composition expected from a great artist. The chapter contends that, regardless of whether Johnson read Klee’s Pedagogical Sketchbook, Crockett Johnson shared Klee’s understanding of how line works in art.
Carefully Planned Improvisation
Authors: Nel Philip 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter considers the carefully planned improvisation in Harold and the Purple Crayon, suggesting that the invisibility of Johnson’s artifice is what makes the book so powerful. Moreover, the production of the book underlines his meticulousness and the complexity of assembling the simple book. The chapter details the production of Harold and the Purple Crayon and its respective texts and illustrations, which indicates Johnson's graphic precision in creating Harold’s spontaneity. It cites Johnson's argument to never overlook the art of the seemingly simple.
Type
Authors: Nel Philip 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the Garamond typeface of Harold and the Purple Crayon. It explains that the typeface is likely the influence of Arthur Rushmore, who was a book designer, typographer, and head of Harper & Brothers’ Book Production and Manufacturing from the late 1920s. Garamond’s most powerful effect on Harold and the Purple Crayon is the invisibility of its legibility. The typeface’s apparent transparency derives as much from its design as it does from the frequency of its use. The chapter suggests that this illusion is apt for a tale that acknowledges illusion’s role in creating reality.
“I stubbed my toe on Harold and his damned purple crayon”
Authors: Nel Philip 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of how Harold and the Purple Crayon nearly did not get published. It details that editor Ursula Nordstrom, who was also the Director of Harper & Brothers’ Department of Books for Boys and Girls, was puzzled upon receiving the book. Harper reader Ann Powers was also not immediately taken with Harold and the Purple Crayon. Eventually, both Powers and Nordstrom came around. The chapter presents how Powers changed her mind while she was writing her reader’s report as she concludes that it will be one of those books which are indescribable in copy.
Postwar America Embraces Children’s Creativity
Authors: Nel Philip 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines how postwar America embraced the creativity of children. In the 1950s, US government agencies and private companies lauded creativity as an untapped natural resource. Harold and the Purple Crayon and its sequels emerged when creative education was posited as a moral good when the inherently creative romantic child could be nurtured, studied, quantified, and commodified. Elementary schools across the US promoted art education as fostering humanistic values, a democratic spirit, self-confidence, and the creativity necessary for success in life. The chapter cites that popular children’s program Winky-Dink and You encouraged young imaginations while being fully interactive.
The Purple Crayon
Authors: Nel Philip 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter highlights the importance of the purple crayon within the narrative of Harold and the Purple Crayon. According to Crockett Johnson, purple is the color of adventure. Although in the early days of Crayola, the purple crayon’s name varied (it could be either violet or purple), it was always one of the colors in the box. Whatever the color was called, Johnson would have had access to purple crayons as a young boy, both in the schoolroom and out. The chapter suggests that choosing the purple crayon meant that Johnson was recalling his own childhood drawing.
Time
Authors: Nel Philip 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the notion of time in Harold and the Purple Crayon. If readers measure a story’s duration by how long it takes to read, the pace will vary. Since how Harold experiences time would depend on what he is doing, emotional experience shapes temporal experience. The chapter explains that the change in the ratio of one’s age to a unit of time is the main reason that the childhood experience feels longer than the adulthood experience. Since time passes more quickly for adults, an adult and a child looking at the same copy of Harold and the Purple Crayon simultaneously would not have the same temporal experience of Harold’s adventure.
The Real Harolds
Authors: Nel Philip 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Noting that the narrative voice from Harold and the Purple Crayon sounds like both an adult and a child, this chapter points out that thinking in terms of an adult-child dichotomy imposes an artificial boundary. The chapter highlights that Harold combines the selves of at least one adult and three children. Harold combines both 8-year-old and 48-year-old Crockett Johnson to represent adult Johnson’s insight that there was not a fundamental division between “adult” and “child.” The chapter explains that the other children were Nina Rowand Wallace, who was Johnson’s 8-year-old office mate, and Harold Frank, Johnson’s nephew.
Harold and the Red Crayon?
Authors: Nel Philip 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter considers a “red” or more radical reading of Harold and the Purple Crayon: Johnson wrote the book while under investigation by the FBI, which first thought him a “concealed Communist” and then decided perhaps he was loyal enough to become a government informant. Though it’s unclear whether he was ever a member of the Communist Party, Johnson believed in international socialism and certainly supported communism in the 1930s. Given the conditions under which he wrote Harold and the Purple Crayon, the book might be read as an autobiographical fantasy in which Johnson escapes surveillance via the imagination. Or it might be read as endorsing the radical slogan “All power to the imagination!” Or perhaps it should be read as advising mindful imagining.
Culture as Canon
Authors: Roy Olivier 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter evaluates how culture, understood as a corpus, as canon, is a set of products and practices that are selected and taught, in other words handed down according to rules and procedures, with axiological intent, providing a moral ideal for all. Normativity and pedagogy thus go hand in hand. One place where high culture is defined and perpetuated is the university. The status of high culture is always fragile, because, unlike anthropological culture, it exists only through explicit transmission. It is the very means of such transmission that are being called into question today. High culture was challenged not in relation to political stances on the left or right but in terms of the conflict between humanism and anti-humanism, or the critique of humanism. The chapter then looks at the standard globalization of “mass culture”; the theory of excellence and the Shanghai criteria; and how the very configuration of knowledge has changed because of the internet.
