Interpersonal Psychotherapy in Iran
Authors: Alhosaini Niloofar Rafiei , Rezaei-Jamalouei Hasan 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter describes interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) in Iran. IPT effectively treats major depressive disorder (MDD) and is well matched with Iranian culture, where interpersonal relations are important and people consider themselves part of a family and a community before they see themselves as individuals. Indeed, Iranian culture values relationships, especially family ties. To understand the extent of the dissemination of IPT across Iran and learn of adaptations made for the Iranian cultural context, the authors conducted searches in 6 bibliographical databases (Google Scholar, SID, Magiran, Sivilica, Irandoc, and Adineh book) by searching “interpersonal psychotherapy” in Persian. These studies show that adaptations of IPT retained its basic structure. However, it may be unacceptable to directly ask about some subjects and issues in questionnaires. Areas to assess carefully relate to sexual relationships, having a friend of the opposite sex, and substance/alcohol misuse or addiction. The chapter then looks at a case example before reflecting on the future of IPT in Iran.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy in Australia
Authors: Reay Rebecca E. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter highlights interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) in Australia. IPT emphasizes the central role of interpersonal and social relationships within which mental health problems develop and are maintained. This paradigm shift spurred clinician interest in training, supervision, and certification in IPT. However, Australia is a large country and access to training and supervision opportunities has been challenging. Fortunately, training opportunities have expanded, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with greater access to online training and accreditation bodies, such as the International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ISIPT) and the IPT Institute in the United States. The chapter then looks at the extension of IPT with depressed adolescents (IPT-A) aged 12–18 years to include young adults, which is consistent with modern Australian youth mental health service models, which cater to individuals aged 12–25. It also considers group IPT for perinatal mental health and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Finally, it examines how the Australian government introduced the “Better Access” to mental health care scheme in 2006.
Interpersonal Counseling for Internally Displaced Women in Bogotá, Colombia
Authors: Espinel Zelde , Shultz James M. , Verdeli Helen 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter evaluates interpersonal counseling (IPC) for internally displaced women in Bogotá, Colombia. No other nation throughout the Americas has experienced internal displacement on a scale comparable to Colombia. Colombian internally displaced persons (IDPs) have a high prevalence of trauma exposure and correspondingly high rates of common mental disorders (CMDs), especially among women. The chapter then looks at a feasibility and acceptability pilot study to examine the potential efficacy of an evidence-based, stepped-care intervention adapted for depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for IDP women residing in Bogotá. The study was named OSITA (meaning “little teddy bear” in Spanish), an acronym for Outreach, Screening, and Intervention for TraumA. Feedback from IPC trainees and participants confirmed that the 4 therapeutic foci of IPC were highly relevant to the target population. Analyses of symptom changes in the sample of completers with baseline, last session, and follow-up data points revealed significant decreases over time in depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptom levels from baseline to last IPC session and further significant decreases in depression from last IPC session to follow-up.
A Culturally Grounded Interpersonal Psychotherapy With American Indians/Alaska Natives
Authors: Heart Maria Yellow Horse Brave , Chase Josephine , Elkins Jennifer , Martin Jennifer 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIANs) that face pervasive trauma exposure, collective histories of communal suffering, and elevated risk for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It emphasizes how AIAN health, well-being, and service utilization should be understood within the context of historical trauma (HT), which is the cumulative emotional and psychological wounding across generations. It also talks about historical trauma responses (HTRs), such as depression, psychic numbing, self-destructive behavior, and identification with the dead, that have been observed among massively traumatized populations. The chapter explains that the historical trauma and unresolved grief intervention (HTUG) is a short-term, culturally grounded intervention for grief resolution and trauma mastery. It highlights the combination of HTUG with group interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), which is effective for treating depression and PTSD in diverse non-AIAN groups.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy With Hispanic/Latinx Individuals
Authors: Patel Sapana R. , Mufson Laura , Lewis-Fernández Roberto 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter talks about Hispanics/Latinx individuals who experience disparities in care, including underutilization of mental health services involving both entry and retention in care. It analyzes evidence on cultural fit and clinical effectiveness of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) based on experience implementing IPT with Hispanic/Latinx adults and adolescents in New York City. It also looks at research that suggests that Hispanic/Latinx individuals tend to value their ability to function, contribute to society, and engage in interpersonal relationships beyond symptom remission. The chapter explores how typical Hispanic/Latinx emphasis on interpersonal relatedness in social interactions makes IPT a well-suited treatment modality. It refers to IPT emphasis on maintaining a personal and emotionally expressive clinical relationship is congruent with typical Hispanic/Latinx value of personalismo.
Brief Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT-B) for Perinatal Depression
Authors: Swartz Holly A. , Curran Mary , Grote (deceased Nancy K. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter highlights depression during pregnancy, which is linked to low birth weight and prematurity, especially for socioeconomically disadvantaged women in the United States. It talks about maternal postpartum depression, which has potential lasting, adverse effects on maternal, infant, and child well-being. It details the adaptation of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) to meet the needs of depressed women of childbearing age that requires systematic attention to practical and psychological barriers to care. The chapter describes Brief IPT (IPT-B), which offers the dual advantages of rapid relief from suffering and reduced practical barriers for overwhelmed populations. It mentions how the IPT-B therapist can move quickly to explore potential avenues to help patients re-engage in positive interpersonally focused activities.
Telephone Interpersonal Psychotherapy Delivered by Nurses for Postpartum Depression
Authors: Grigoriadis Sophie , Dennis Cindy-Lee , Ravitz Paula 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter recounts a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that evaluated interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for postpartum depression (PPD) delivered over the telephone by nurses. It considers telephone delivery as an underutilized format that has demonstrated depression treatment efficacy. It also looks at telephone IPT studies that have shown promising results, such as an RCT on the delivery and adaptation of IPT by nonspecialist health workers over the telephone. The chapter describes nurse-delivered telephone-IPT as an effective treatment for diverse urban and rural postpartum women with clinical depression. It points out how nurse-delivered telephone-IPT improved PPD, anxiety, and partner relationship quality at 12 weeks’ postrandomization.
Swing Theory
Authors: Benadon Fernando 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
At its most elementary level, swing relates the duration of a long note to that of an adjacent short note, with the pair comprising a beat such as a quarter-note. This chapter extends that view to combinations of more than two notes spanning intervals including but not limited to one beat. The basic method involves the standard practice of calculating durational ratios as a way of gauging rhythmic relationships. The chapter begins with a look at swing in melodies and drum patterns, and then inducts specific swing ratios—especially 1.22—into the standard collection of note values. The chapter’s last section introduces swing in three- and four-onset patterns.
The Good Cartesian
Authors: Nadler Steven 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This volume is a biographical and philosophical study of Louis de La Forge (1632–1666) and his contributions to the fortunes of Cartesianism in the seventeenth century. La Forge was instrumental in making Descartes’s philosophy the dominant philosophical paradigm of the period. He contributed illustrations and a commentary to the 1664 edition of Descartes’s Traité de l’homme; and then, in 1666, he published his own account of the human mind and its relation to the body on Cartesian principles, the Traité de l’esprit de l’homme. La Forge’s most innovative and influential philosophical contribution consists in his doctrine of occasionalism, which accords God a substantial, if not unique, causal role in the world.
Introduction
Authors: Nadler Steven 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In this introduction to the book, I review the background to La Forge’s philosophical contributions to the fortunes of Cartesian philosophy and provide some historical context for the analysis of his works. Louis de La Forge was one of the great unsung heroes of seventeenth-century Cartesianism. He did much to further the Cartesian cause by commenting on, illustrating, updating Descartes’s Treatise on Man, and then completed the Cartesian project with his own Treatise on the Human Mind. In this introduction to the book, I review the background to La Forge’s philosophical contributions to the fortunes of Cartesian philosophy and provide some historical context for the analysis of his works. This includes the status of Cartesianism in the mid-seventeenth century, both its partisans and its opponents.
Louis de La Forge
Authors: Nadler Steven 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This mainly biographical chapter introduces La Forge, with a focus on his family background, his upbringing and education under the Jesuits in La Flèche, his medical career in Saumur, and his exposure to Cartesian philosophy. It also reviews the historical, political, and religious contexts of La Forge’s life. Among other topics it covers the religious and intellectual milieu of Saumur, La Forge’s possible relations with Cartesians in Paris and examines what may have been his first acquaintance with the “new philosophy.”
The Union of Mind and Body
Authors: Nadler Steven 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In the Cartesian scheme of things, mind (thinking substance) and body (extended substance) are radically distinct and mutually exclusive substances. The challenge, then, is to explain how two such different substances can unite in a human being, especially since local contact is not possible for an unextended substance. This chapter examines some ambiguities in Descartes’s approach to this problem, and then La Forge’s more precise and clear solution.
Introduction
Authors: Campbell Lyle 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Chapter 1, Introduction, explains the issues and difficulties with the names and naming practices involving the Indigenous languages of the Americas, and it explains the terminology used in linguistic classification. One section explains the loss of diversity and the endangered status of the languages. Other sections provide an overview of the history of the field, of the origins of the American Indian languages, and of methods used to determine language families. The concluding section explains the conventions and notations used in the book.
Middle American Languages (Mexico and Central America)
Authors: Campbell Lyle 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Chapter 3, Middle American languages (Mexico and Central America), is about the history and classification of the Indigenous languages of Mexico and Central America, sometimes called “Middle America.” This includes Middle America’s fifteen language families, four of which are language isolates. Middle America is home to some 200 known Indigenous languages, 180 of which still are spoken. Special attention is given to the Mesoamerican Linguistics Area, a particularly important region within Middle America. The chapter spells out implications of the languages’ history, classification, and distribution for the prehistory of various pre-Colombian cultures of Mesoamerica.
Unclassified and Spurious Languages
Authors: Campbell Lyle 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Chapter 5, Unclassified and Spurious Languages, surveys the unclassified and spurious languages, providing new information on several and giving additional perspective on others. The unclassified (actually unclassifiable) languages are those so poorly attested that it is impossible to classify them. For some of them nothing is known, for others only a tiny handful of words were ever written down. There are literally hundreds of cases of unclassified languages in the Americas. The spurious languages include the hoaxes and fakes and other non-existent things misidentified as languages. There are a surprising number of these, as well.
Linguistic Areas of the Americas
Authors: Campbell Lyle 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Chapter 7, Linguistic Areas of the Americas, surveys the linguistic areas of the Americas. The defining characteristic of a linguistic area, also called a Sprachbund or diffusion area, is the sharing of structural traits among languages of a particular geographical area, where these shared features are normally assumed to be the result of language contact, diffused across languages. A sizable number of linguistic areas have been proposed in the Americas. Some are fairly well established, such as the Northwest Coast and Mesoamerica linguistics areas; some are just preliminary hypotheses in need of much further investigation.
Contact Languages
Authors: Campbell Lyle 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Chapter 8, Contact Languages, is dedicated to the Indigenous contact languages of the Americas. They include pidgins of indigenous origin, mixed languages, and Indigenous languages used as lingua francas. Pidgins are traditionally seen as minimal contact languages, used to facilitate trade, though it is not the native language of any of the interacting groups. There are (or were) many more pidgins involving Indigenous languages of the Americas than generally recognized. Several Indigenous languages were used as lingua francas, for communication among speakers of different languages, far more than generally understood. A mixed language is one that has different source languages for different components of its grammar but has no single ancestor. There are few true mixed languages in the world, but several of them are from the Americas.
Loanwords and Other New Words in the Indigenous Languages of the Americas
Authors: Campbell Lyle 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Chapter 9, Loanwords and Other New Words in the Indigenous Languages of the Americas, is about the many loanwords of various kinds have been identified in various Native American languages and about ways new words are created in these languages. Various themes involving loanwords in these languages are discussed. They include calques; Wanderwörter—loanwords that are found widely diffused in a number of languages but where the original donor language is usually unknown, loanwords from Indigenous languages into European languages, loanwords from European languages into Indigenous American languages, avoidance of tabu and multilingual obscenity, languages that are reticence toward borrowing, and linguistic acculturation and neologisms that rely on native resources.
Introduction
Authors: Blackwill Robert D. , Fontaine Richard 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces the Pivot to Asia as announced by the Obama administration and explores why the strategic reorientation was necessary. The authors explain that Washington’s failure to respond adequately to the rise of Chinese power represents one of the most consequential post–World War II foreign policy mistakes. The chapter then outlines the structure of the book, provides the historical context for the Pivot to Asia, and poses a series of questions that the book aims to answer. It presents the strategic challenges that the United States faces and concludes that the long-term US-China competition demands a renewed Pivot to Asia.
Please Stay
Authors: Blackwill Robert D. , Fontaine Richard 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter analyzes the European reaction to the Pivot announcement during the 2010s and beyond. It finds that the United States did not pivot from Europe to Asia, but that European governments and publics feared that it either had or would do so in the future. The authors observe that, as China continues to maintain its quasi-neutral position toward the Russian invasion, European views of the PRC have deteriorated significantly. Transatlantic differences nevertheless persist over China and Asia policy as Europe remains more willing than Washington to maintain China as an economic and diplomatic collaborator. The chapter also details how the Ukraine war has unified Europe and exposed Moscow’s military weakness which, in turn, has rendered the proposed Pivot a more manageable task.
We Don’t Want to Choose
Authors: Blackwill Robert D. , Fontaine Richard 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores Indo-Pacific perspectives on the Pivot. Increased Chinese assertiveness has prompted increased demand among Asian allies and partners for American engagement in the region. China’s economic dominance has, however, also incentivized Indo-Pacific states to seek a balance in their relations with both Washington and Beijing. Amid this dynamic, the balance of power in Asia gradually tilted in China’s favor over the 2010s, and the United States largely failed to increase regional military, economic, and diplomatic engagement. These missteps have weakened Asian confidence in American leadership, competence, and staying power.
Pivoting from Offense to Defense
Authors: Blackwill Robert D. , Fontaine Richard 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the economic aspect of the Pivot and America’s broader approach to China. Asia’s economic dynamism spurred US efforts to access the region’s markets, labor force, and capital long before the Pivot’s accountment. China’s rapid economic growth, in particular, focused US attention on the region. Washington initially crafted an ambitious economic policy in Asia, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership—a trade deal which would have encompassed 40% of the global economy, but which eventually collapsed because of domestic opposition. Efforts to break down barriers and link economies have given way to a more defensive approach aimed at limiting the national security risk generated by economic interdependence.
Inventing Hispanic Opera: Opera as Epithalamium
Authors: Stein Louise K. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Two exceptional fully-sung operas on amorous Ovidian stories were produced by Gaspar de Haro y Guzmán, Marquis de Heliche, for dynastic celebrations at the royal court in Madrid. La púrpura de la rosa and Celos aun del aire matan, poetry by Pedro Calderón de la Barca and music by Juan Hidalgo de Polanco, commemorated the Peace of the Pyrenees and the marriage of the Infanta María Teresa with Louis XIV. The chapter summarizes Heliche’s rise to power and positions at court, arguing that his personal characteristics, temperament, and appreciation for and expertise with erotic art conditioned his productions. He produced musical theater and opera as epithalamia at a time of crisis for the Spanish monarchy (due to the lack of royal succession). The fully-sung operas on erotic stories were performed by casts of very young actress-singers and designed to educate and stimulate the newly arrived and barely nubile Queen Mariana de Austria (married to the aged Philip IV). Heliche’s productions established conventions of Hispanic musical theater that responded to the sexual habits of the aristocracy, concepts of masculine dignity, and isolation of women at the royal court. The music of Hidalgo’s extant score (Celos aun del aire matan) is the focus of analysis.
Introduction
Authors: Jaspers Jürgen 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This introductory chapter explains that many teachers are caught between a rock and a hard place because they need to live up to conflicting demands. Policymakers expect them to restrain pupils’ linguistic diversity in the name of emancipation and social mobility, while researchers of language-in-education for the same reasons emphasize how important it is that they let this diversity flourish. Both groups consequently prioritize paradigmatic behavior, in both positive and negative guise, and are less interested in teachers’ daily navigation of conflicting demands and dilemmas. This leaves much ordinary, regular teacher behavior unaccounted for, while it stimulates a discussion of teachers’ work through the discourses of celebration or denunciation. The chapter argues that this context provides good reasons for attending to and explaining ambivalent teacher behavior, and it gives an overview of how this will be done in subsequent chapters.
Heroes, villains, and other teachers
Authors: Jaspers Jürgen 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
While policymakers and researchers disagree over which type of language pupils urgently need to succeed, this chapter argues that they both assume that schools are the principal vehicle for socioeconomic change and that language is the grease for the wheels of that vehicle. The chapter draws on sociological research to suggest there is reasonable doubt as to whether schools can actually play the role that is ascribed to them. It also discusses sociolinguistic findings to question the conviction that a multilingual education leads to improved learning and well-being. This does not diminish the pertinence of advocating for a multilingual education. But the chapter insists that there are limitations to a strategy that presents linguistic diversity as a turbo on the educational motor, not least because it obscures a pervasive and chronic aspect of teaching—that is, its inconsistency.
Multilingual openings
Authors: Jaspers Jürgen 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter shows that teachers at Dutch-medium schools in Brussels acknowledged, used, and invited pupils’ primary languages in class, while on other occasions they disallowed them. It will argue that this inconsistency can be explained as resulting from teachers’ variable pedagogical focus. Noncurricular varieties were addressed as trouble when teachers focused on linguistic form and accuracy, but these varieties could be acceptable when teachers focused on meaning exchange, comprehension issues, and procedural matters. The argument will be that this pedagogical focus interacted with the competing values of school- versus pupil-centered education in society at large. While this variable focus only allowed for a limited recognition of languages other than Dutch, the chapter spotlights one exceptional teacher who abundantly recognized pupils’ primary varieties in improvisational fashion, although this did not diminish his continued devotion to monolingualism.
