Insanity, Disability and Responsibility: Rethinking Autonomy to Challenge Structural Inequality
Authors: Richards Jane 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) operates as a lens of analysis to show that the insanity doctrine and its dispositions discriminate against the category of people with mental disabilities to whom the defence applies. However, while identifying the discrimination perpetuated by the insanity doctrine, this article argues that the CRPD Committee has failed to uncover the ultimate source of disadvantage of which the doctrine is merely symptomatic. Instead, it is argued that the criminal justice system entrenches a notion of ‘capacity-responsibility’ which situates the mentally disabled defendant as the ‘other’. In an attempt to challenge this embedded structural injustice, the article thus calls on the CRPD Committee for a more holistic application of the CRPD, to provide the tools to challenge that will move towards greater equality for people with mental disabilities.
Introduction
Authors: Snow Nancy E. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe literature on hope in philosophy is extensive. After a brief foray into some temporal aspects of hope, the introduction offers a selective review of work on hope from the history of philosophy with an eye to highlighting those theories that have influenced contemporary accounts. Following that, it turns to a brief review of work on hope in the pragmatist tradition. Finally, it traces the main lines of contemporary debates about hope in analytic philosophy. The backbone of these debates is the “standard” account, offered by J. P. Day, according to which a desire for an end and the belief that it is probable are both necessary and sufficient for hope. Most contemporary philosophers argue that the standard account is necessary, but not sufficient for hope, and add sufficiency conditions. These lively discussions are in full force, and promise to continue.
Lost Worlds
Authors: Wills Christopher 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
We look at two examples of how humans have degraded our planet’s ecosystems: the first drawn from the author’s direct experience growing up in the rapidly changing world of British Columbia forest and marine ecosystems, and the second from the very earliest days of human arrivals in Australia. The ecological world of the author’s childhood has undergone huge, and largely negative, changes during his lifetime. And environmental degradation has had a long history. The arrival of the first humans in Australia, about 50,000 years ago, has now been shown to coincide precisely with the disappearance of all Australia’s large marsupials and many of its large reptiles and birds. This chapter explores the ecological and evolutionary reasons for these disappearances, and suggests how the limited genetic resources of Australia’s ecosystems may have made them especially vulnerable.
The Evolution of a Vermont Country Doctor
Authors: Harding Courtenay M. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter presents the tale of George Brooks, a Vermont country doctor who lived in a small village observing kids who were disabled and disadvantaged. He grew up in the pre-World War II era and became a physician during the war and a psychiatrist afterward. The chapter describes the growth of all the caring professions during this time, emphasizing to readers just how recently was this period and the advances that occurred. The impact of World War II, with the return of physically and mentally/emotionally damaged soldiers is discussed, as is the emergence and growth of the field of physical rehabilitation. This confluence of events sets the scene for Dr. Brooks to emerge as a leader in his field of psychiatric rehabilitation, and it paved the way for Bill Anthony.
A Puzzled Psychiatrist Became a Revolutionary With the Help of His Patients
Authors: Harding Courtenay M. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Extreme overcrowding at state hospitals and political battles marked the 1950s and 1960s. Dr. Brooks considered himself a biological psychiatrist and participated in one of the first SmithKline & French research studies of the new drug Thorazine. Many patients responded well and were discharged, but many did not. Brooks attempts to help these nonresponders led to a successful rehabilitation program. It was based on an outpatient model for the inpatient group who were considered to be both “untreatable and unemployable.” This therapeutic community program had a horizontal approach not a hierarchical structure; focused on education and work; used shared decision-making, with interdependence prioritized over independence; encouraged ex-patient clubs; and presented living-learning opportunities at every social interaction and crisis. These strategies were copies of the work done by Maxwell Jones in England, which was published in 1953.
The Implausibility of Becoming a Phase III NIMH Principal Investigator
Authors: Harding Courtenay M. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on how the author, as a newly single mother and a student nurse, met psychiatric patients at Vermont State Hospital (VSH) and what they taught her. The chapter begins by detailing how the author found herself being guided away from her first career goal as a nurse and into educational channels that would lead her to become a psychology major. The author describes her interest in research and the guidance she received from several mentors. The chapter details her initial exposure to the VSH cohort study records. The comprehensive nature of these records and the fact that she was able to find 87% of the original cohort with a single letter led to suggestions that she conduct a follow-up study. The chapter describes the National Institute of Mental Health grant application process for the follow-up study and the site visit that led to the study being funded.
White Supremacy and the Sex Industry
Authors: Farvid Panteá , Epstein Sarah , Lumpkin Leigh , Canton Thyme , King Michelle 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe commercial sex industry stratifies people, desires, bodies, income, and access to sex. Racialization is a key part of how sex work is stratified but is often overlooked in research and other sociocultural or political discussions. This chapter examines how proximity to whiteness, patriarchy, cisgenderedness, heterosexuality, and citizenship shape the hierarchies of desirability within the sex industries of four Anglo-legal contexts: the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand. These contexts have long and violent colonial histories, and as case studies reveal how sexual racism continues to shape legal, social, and cultural regulation of sex work. Using an intersectional lens, this chapter examines these contexts to critique the hierarchies of desire in sex work and illuminate how they create material realities of inequality, which ultimately uphold white supremacy. Strategies for challenging such inequalities are discussed, including the continued need for a truly intersectional approach to sex work decriminalization and advocacy.
The Efficacy of Interpersonal Psychotherapy
Authors: Weissman Myrna M. , Mootz Jennifer J. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT). It defines IPT as an evidence-based, manualized psychotherapy tested in numerous clinical trials. Regardless of whether depression and other psychiatric disorders have an environmental, familial, or biological basis, the disorders still occur in line with a social and interpersonal context, and understanding them will help find better ways of handling them or relieving symptoms. The chapter then elaborates on the 3 phases of treatment—initiation, middle, and termination—which would vary depending on the setting and resources. It looks into various IPT techniques, such as communication analysis, decision analysis, and role play.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy Training in Switzerland
Authors: Hovaguimian Theodore , Omay Oguz 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the history of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) training in Switzerland. Although the quality of life has declined in recent years, Geneva remains in the top 10 of the most pleasant cities in the world despite its rate of depression being higher compared to most Swiss cantons. The chapter explains how psychiatrist Theodore Hovaguimian imported the practice of IPT in Geneva, which resulted in Geneva’s university Hospitals becoming among the first European centers to teach IPT. Additionally, the World Health Organization's promotion of mental health and health policy was another factor in IPT in the country. The chapter considers the factors of training in IPT in Switzerland.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy Training in the Veterans Health Administration in the United States
Authors: Clougherty Kathleen F. , Steele Jennifer L. , Croswell Kevin 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter covers interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) training in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) in the United States. It explains that the VHA's evidence-based provider psychotherapy training program is among the largest competency-based IPT training programs in the United States. The VHA’s handbook required that veterans have access to evidence-based psychotherapies shown to be effective for specific mental health or behavioral health conditions. The chapter details the development of the IPT training program, therapist training, and external consultants’ training, and the changes to the IPT training program. It then explains that the 2 aspects of IPT that needed adaptation were the sick role and the conceptualization and interpersonal deficits.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy in Japan
Authors: Mizushima Hiroko 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) in Japan. It follows how Dr. Hiroko Mizushima published the Japanese translation of the first manual to Interpersonal Psychotherapy of Depression. After establishing an IPT study group, Dr. Mizushima built the Japan chapter of the International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ISIPT). The chapter then details the adaptations to IPT before considering its subsequent barriers and facilitators of implementations, which references the National Health Insurance Plan not covering IPT. It mentions the plans to make IPT-JAPAN an official academic society composed of clinicians and researchers, which can give points to maintain professional qualifications after the COVID-19 pandemic postponed the plan.
Group Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents in Nepal
Authors: Pradhan Indira , Rose-Clarke Kelly , Verdeli Helen , Shrestha Pragya 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter looks into group interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for adolescents in Nepal. Guided by the ecological validity framework, adaptations were made related to the domains of context, persons, treatment goals, methods, concepts, language, metaphors, content, and developmental stage. The major barriers and facilitators of IPT’s implementation range among caregivers, stigma, managing child protection issues and suicidality, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter then considers a case example that illustrates how group IPT was used to address grief in an adolescent boy with depression. It suggests school-based psychoeducation as one of the key recommendations for future work in Nepal.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy in Germany
Authors: Brakemeier Eva-Lotta 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the establishment of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) in Germany. The implementation and dissemination of IPT in Germany consists of 3 steps: the publication of the first German book on IPT, the foundation of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Wissenschaftliche Psychotherapie (AWP), and training in IPT stimulated by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Interpersonelle Psychotherapie (DG-IPT). The chapter then discusses IPT in special settings and for specific problems, such as IPT inpatient programs and IPT group treatment. Meanwhile, all global crises directly affect the interpersonal context, so IPT is particularly suited for short-term and specific support to people affected by crises. The chapter acknowledges IPT as a practice-oriented therapy that can help narrow the gap between research and practice.
Internet-Delivered Interpersonal Psychotherapy (i-IPT) in the Netherlands
Authors: Dozeman Els , Donker Tara , Schotanus Amrah Y. , van Schaik Anneke 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter evaluates Internet-delivered interpersonal psychotherapy (i-IPT) in the Netherlands. In specialized mental health care, psychotherapy for depression mainly consists of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and, to a lesser extent, IPT, but these psychotherapies are difficult to access due to long waiting lists caused by a short supply of mental health care professionals. Internet-delivered formats may help to reduce waiting lists given less therapist time is needed. Indeed, over the past 2 decades, Internet-delivered therapy programs have been designed to improve access to healthcare. Unrestricted by time and place, electronic health (eHealth) may provide personalized treatment, increase patient empowerment, and contribute to accessible and affordable treatment. Especially for depression, electronic interventions have been well researched and successfully launched. The chapter then looks at the training of therapists in i-IPT, as well as the future of i-IPT.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy in Older Adults With Major Depression
Authors: Reynolds Charles F. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter recounts randomized clinical trials that started in 1989 using interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for the treatment of older adults living with major depression. It discusses the use of maintenance treatment with IPT for depression in primary care settings and treatment of bereavement-related depression. It also looks at the combination of pharmacotherapy and IPT, which was superior to monotherapy in maintaining social adjustment and health-related quality of life over 1 year. The chapter examines the merging of IPT with antidepressant pharmacotherapy that is superior to care in bringing about a response of major depression and in more quickly reducing suicidal ideation. It highlights the major strength of IPT in late-life depression, which is fostering the personalization of treatment at a deep, existential level that allows patient and therapist to engage in problem-solving where patients are suffering the most.
Reflection
Authors: Weissman Myrna M. , Mootz Jennifer J. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides a summary and reflection on the global reach of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) and interpersonal counseling (IPC) in diverse settings and populations. It talks about the acceptance of problem areas and common recommendations for improvement, such as adapting language related to assigning the sick role. It also covers the duration and dose of treatment, therapist level of training and training methods, and delivery of IPT with telephone, video, games, and other digitized methods. The chapter highlights the future that involves the expansion of services for the underserved globally, expansion of technology, certification, cost-effective training, reduction of stigma, a better understanding of susceptibility, and a focus on prevention. It looks at the importance of human attachments, which reflects common humanity.
Swinglines
Authors: Benadon Fernando 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Rhythms traditionally framed as “deviations” have their own identities. They are coherent products of precise musical thought and action. Rather than situating them in the neither-here-nor-there, Swinglines takes an inclusive view where meter and isochrony are particular cases within the broader universe of musical time. This book flips the frame from what rhythm is not to what rhythm is. As conceptualized here, swing flattens the temporal field to consider how note values relate to one another by any magnitude, not just the simple ratios of traditional theory. At its core, Swinglines is a nuts-and-bolts study of durational comparisons in the context of creative expression. It encourages readers to experience what it is like to forget the metric hierarchy and instead approach rhythms as freewheeling affairs rather than by pointing to where they sit on the isochrony scale. Transcriptions and timing-data visualizations illustrate how variation, tuplets, polymeter, displacement, phrase structure, rhythmic counterpoint, parallel tempos, cyclical patterns, and time signatures draw their contours from the swing continuum.
Voice and Beat
Authors: Benadon Fernando 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter delves into the rhythmic interplay between vocal melody and instrumental background. Excerpts from European opera, Brazilian bossa nova, and American R&B and hip-hop demonstrate some ways in which singers weave their lines around the accompaniment’s beat, tempo, and accents. Such phrasing creates rich composite textures that can be understood as co-occurring layers rather than in a figure/ground, meter-centric conception. Particular attention is paid to the contrapuntal relationship between the voice and the snare drum backbeat. The ratios and note values introduced in Chapter 1 are shown to shape these musical lines in combination with the stress properties of speech rhythm.
Hybrids
Authors: Benadon Fernando 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores rhythmic similarity through the concept of analogues—similar sets of ordered durations across the same span of time—that form a hybrid. Hybrids expose structural similarities between rhythms hailing from unrelated signatures. For example, a four-onset cycle may be heard in 3$ as two quarter-notes plus two eighth-notes or in 7* as three quarter-notes plus one eighth-note. Various time signatures are staked in three-onset space and shown to be proximal to each other as well as approximations of differently timed rhythms. Examples from Moroccan Houariyat songs illustrate hybridity between 7* and 10/8. A concluding compositional exercise connects hybrids to an expanded conception of swing sixteenth-notes.
When Polymeters Attack
Authors: Benadon Fernando 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Continuing the trend from previous chapters, this chapter draws attention to rhythm within and beyond the concavities of metered time by pointing to three types of polymetric scenarios. (1) Variable polymeter features cycled rhythms that change across repetitions and recur periodically but not strictly so. (2) Attack matrices display how the accents of strictly periodic cycles change their metric status with each repetition; the process is illustrated with Hindustani tabla tihais. (3) Self-same polymeter refers to the accenting of every other note of a (shorter) cycled rhythm to get a different (second-order) rhythm that cycles twice as slowly; the recursive process is mapped in three-onset space.
Priority Monism in Schelling’s 1801–1802 Writings
Authors: Fisher Naomi 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter articulates the features of Schelling’s monism as presented in 1801–1802, arguing that it is a priority monism inspired by a certain strand of Platonism. Schelling’s monism is a priority monism, rather than a Spinozistic or substance monism, in that it allows finite things to have a measure of independence and self-determination. Yet it is a monism insofar as things exist in and through a certain kind of relative identity with the absolute. This chapter defends Schelling’s identity philosophy against the charge that the unity it achieves is merely stipulative and vacuous by detailing the ways in which unity is operative in the structure of Schelling’s theoretical systems. One example of this is Schelling’s 1802 dialogue Bruno, which crucially invokes the metaphysics of Plato’s Philebus. This chapter concludes with a summary of how Schelling, in drawing on Platonism, advances the post-Kantian tradition in a distinctive way.
Introduction
Authors: Brafman Yonatan Y. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe introduction motivates a critique of halakhic reason in view of contemporary discussions of religion and long-standing questions in the Jewish tradition. It suggests that though norms and obligations are central components of many religions, they have often been neglected as objects of reflection. It also argues that overly generalized discussion of religious belief or practice in epistemology and political theory leads to a search for specifically “religious reasons,” which are then subtly characterized by a Protestant conception of faith. This “multicultural perspective” neglects the normative claim, deliberative context, and diversity of reasons that characterize reasoning about practices in religious communities and traditions. This is illustrated through a case study of a contested Jewish practice: metzizah be-peh (oral-genital suction following circumcision). It also introduces the relation between the justification and jurisprudence of the commandments as well as their source of normativity as central topics in the Jewish tradition.
Radicalisation as Identity Reconfiguration and Narrative Resonance
Authors: Awan Akil N. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The establishment of Islamic State’s “caliphate” in 2014 led to a small number of European Muslims to flock to its banner. This chapter attempts to understand the appeal IS held for them, by detailing IS’ sophisticated, multi-media propaganda campaigns, which provided compelling meta-narratives aimed specifically at these young Western Muslims. The chapter focuses on the two central themes that Islamic State’s grand caliphate project was predicated upon—themes that are ubiquitous to virtually all extremists’ rhetoric and propaganda: the construction of a highly tendentious, but nevertheless persuasive, grand narrative in order to support and legitimize their ideology and worldview; and the construction of a distinctive and radically exclusive transnational religious in-group identity that could mobilize audiences globally. The chapter goes on to argue that ISIS’ narratives only resonate and possess potency, when they intersect with the very particular lived experiences of some young Muslims in the West. A heady mix of Islamophobia, xenophobia, alterity, cultural dislocation, socio-economic marginalization, and pervasive narratives of failed integration and multiculturalism within popular discourse can lead individuals to feel alienated in their own country, to take solace in an alternative identity narrative which might appear more appealing than a tainted national one.
The Problem of Pseudoscience
Authors: Pigliucci Massimo 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In the Charmides, Plato presents us with one of the first known instances of what is nowadays called the demarcation problem in philosophy of science: how do we tell science from bunk? Socrates asks the question in the specific case of medical expertise, and concludes that the only way to adjudicate between a real doctor and a quack is to become doctors ourselves, obviously not a practical solution for most people. Modern scholarship on expertise offers a wider range of tools to help us navigate an increasingly complex world in which everyone seems to have strong opinions, but most turn out to have little knowledge or understanding. This chapter explores three issues related to trust and pseudoscience: the empirical evidence on the nature of expertise; Alvin Goldman’s five-point solution to Socrates’ problem; and Moberger’s pertinent application of Frankfurt’s generalized concept of bullshit.
