Cold War Games
Authors: Andersson Ruben , Keen David 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter situates the book’s analysis within the trends in the study of war and security that emerged as the Cold War thawed. The Cold War took the form of a standoff between the two superpowers while also bringing the threat and possibility of massive violence between them. It also involved a series of “proxy wars” in which multiple games were played, and these were often only loosely linked to the enterprise of “winning.” Looking at the Vietnam War and the superpower arms race, the chapter finds that the costs and benefits of the Cold War were distributed extremely unevenly across many levels. Engaging with the Cold War and its aftermath helps us to understand—and situate historically—the wars and fights that evolved and accelerated in its long aftermath.
Taking the Long View
Authors: McDaniel Justin T. , Sylwester Kevin , Stapel Rick F. , Ting Tim , Albright David L. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Using data from the 2010 National Survey of Veterans, the authors first provide an estimate of the odds of a mental health problem—with subsequent counseling—among veterans based on various combat scenarios, and, second, provide an estimate of the mental health care costs for treating veterans with mental health problems. Results showed that veterans who were exposed to the dead, dying, and wounded while in a combat zone were 2.36 times more likely to have a mental health problem with accompanying counseling than a veteran who did not experience the same. A total cost estimate for the two-year costs of treatment for military veterans with mental health issues is between $0.89 billion and $1.56 billion. It is evident that the costs of combat-related violence are becoming more predictable, especially with regard to mental health care; however, additional work is needed.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Weaponized
Authors: MacIntosh Duncan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter conceptually analyzes moral injury. It identifies two puzzles. First, soldiers sometimes sustain moral injury even from doing right actions. Second, they experience moral exhaustion from making decisions even where the morally right choice is so obvious that it shouldn’t be stressful to make; and even where rightness of decision is so murky that no decision could be morally faulted. The author introduces the concept of moral pseudo-injury—felt moral injury that has in reality resulted from violation of a false moral code, so that no one has really been morally injured. This can be used as a method in warfighting. And since the injuries it produces are illusory, it is morally superior to physical violence. Our enemies often use moral pseudo-injury against us in the form of terrorist violence against civilians. Terrorism causes comparatively few harms, yet we mistakenly see it as more morally horrific than conventional combat.
Incorporating Moral Injury in Military and Veteran Policy
Authors: Laha-Walsh Kirsten , Steele Haley , Albright David L. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Moral injury is not a recognized mental health disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), which is currently in its fifth edition. This is important, as care practice guidelines for mental health within the Department of Veterans Affairs are based around validation of the mental health issues in the DSM. Additionally, a preliminary working diagnosis is needed that can be tested and evaluated. Legislative efforts have circled moral injury in language but have not been able to fully utilize the concept due to the lack of validity compared to verified disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder. Moral injury did, however, gain some traction in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic as crime, unemployment, and suicide rates increased. Such recognition begs for policy efforts from multiple disciplines that could support the usage of tools for predictors or evaluations of moral injury.
From Cautious to Conscious Inclusion
Authors: Pham Janelle 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
It was not until only recently (2015) that all combat positions have been opened to all genders and theoretically based upon gender-neutral capabilities rather than someone’s biological sex at birth. Today, women’s participation in the Special Operations forces demonstrate the perpetuation of the myth of female distraction and a pressing need to confront it. This chapter provides a historical overview of women’s integration into military roles, including realities of service during America’s recent longest wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It evaluates the most pressing concerns facing a society where women may soon be drafted to fight the nation’s wars. While policy has moved from an era of cautious inclusion to one of conscious inclusion of women in military roles, it is necessary to address the pragmatic policy considerations of accommodating physical strength differences with adaptive technology and preventing and responding to military sexual trauma, rather than dwelling on antiquated stereotypes.
The Vow That Starts the Story
Authors: Rotman Andy 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Buddha’s life story is generally said to begin many eons ago, during a previous birth, when as a learned brahman he made a vow before the Buddha Dīpaṅkara (Illuminator) that he too would one day become a buddha. Dīpaṅkara then foretold that in the distant future this would come to pass. This story is one of the most famous in the Buddhist world, and it is immortalized in Buddhist art and literature. The story is especially popular in sculptures from the first centuries of the Common Era from the northwest region of the Indian subcontinent then known as Gandhāra. In fact, of the roughly 180 representations of past-life stories in Gandhāran art, nearly 130 of them depict the vow story. Why was this story so popular back then? And what does it tell us about the Buddha’s biography?
A Timeless Love Story
Authors: Sasson Vanessa R. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the multilife relationship between the Bodhisattva and Yaśodharā—an iterative relationship that serves as an expression of the lateral expansion of the Buddha life story. According to many early textual sources, the Bodhisattva was married to Yaśodharā for lifetimes. They share a parallel and deeply intertwined trajectory through a series of past lives and into their final rebirth. In their final lives together, their marriage serves to anchor the Bodhisattva’s narrative to the Buddha-life blueprint: because other buddhas were married before they made their Great Departure, he must marry her. His relationship to Yaśodharā is therefore part of what qualifies him for Buddhahood.
Overstory
Authors: Strong John S. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This epilogue reflects on the career and character of the Buddha by presenting and analyzing an episode from the end of his life story. This recounts his feat of clearing away a great boulder blocking the road he is taking to get to Kuśinagarī which the Malla strongmen are having difficulty removing. The tale has many dimensions: it glorifies the Buddha, cataloguing his various extraordinary powers, among them the innate physical power he owes to his parents (mātāpaitṛkabala) that allows him to toss the rock high into the air; his supernormal powers (ṛddhi) that enable him to reduce the rock to dust particles; and the power of his wisdom (prajñā) that causes him to put it back together again. The tale also has doctrinal dimensions and may be seen as an allegorical summation of the dialectical pattern of the life of the Buddha as a whole.
Neo-Gnosticism in American Literature
Authors: Versluis Arthur 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Many nineteenth-century American authors such as Poe, Hawthorne, and Melville held neo-gnostic affinities, according to scholarship, and many twentieth- and twenty-first century American authors have also been interpreted as neo-gnostic. There are many neo-gnostic elements in contemporary fiction and poetry, for instance, in the works of Robinson Jeffers and science fiction works by authors including Philip K. Dick and William Gibson, as well as Thomas Pynchon and Cormac McCarthy. Horror fiction, through authors including H. P. Lovecraft and Thomas Ligotti, can be seen in a neo-gnostic context. Neo-gnosticism emerges in contemporary fiction as a set of intellectual “bricks” including concepts like hostile society, archons, and so forth.
Neo-Gnostic Video
Authors: Versluis Arthur 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Popular films or videos that have generated subsequent neo-gnostic memes in popular culture include The Matrix, They Live, Dark City, Eyes Wide Shut, and the Twin Peaks series, as well as influential directors David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick. In particular, widespread and influential political memes like “red pill” from The Matrix series of films or the revelatory eyeglasses of the film They Live recur on the political right as critiques of bureaucratic, technological, and centralized power. Films, videos, and anime typically reflect neo-gnostic forms of cosmological gnosis, but not metaphysical gnosis. Discusses political religion and related meme-producing themes in video.
The Neo-Gnosticism of Miguel Serrano
Authors: Versluis Arthur 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Several concepts from early Christian–era Gnosticism appear directly in the numerous late works of a recent Chilean author, Miguel Serrano (1917–2009), whose work and thought exemplifies cosmological gnosis. Many international readers knew Serrano as author of unusual fictional works and as an ambassador for Chile to several countries. During his time abroad, he met, and in many cases befriended, famous figures of the day, including Carl Jung, Herman Hesse, Ezra Pound, and the fourteenth Dalai Lama. But fewer are aware of his works promoting a grand cosmological synthesis of many world religious traditions with esoteric Hitlerism expressed in gnostic terms. His syncretic system includes references to a demiurge and to gnosis, as well as to many other esoteric traditions from Europe, India, Tibet, and elsewhere, largely in a neo-gnostic context.
Psychedelic Gnosis
Authors: Versluis Arthur 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
There is a history of psychedelics and entheogens in twentieth- and twenty-first century in the context of neo-gnostic elements from contemporary popular authors and scholars including Christopher Bache, Jonathan Phillips, Erik Davis, and Daniel Pinchbeck. In particular the scholarly work of Christopher Partridge provides some context. Christopher Bache’s work also clearly has a prophetic element in such books as Dark Night, Early Dawn. There is also millenarian aspects of Bache’s and Pinchbeck’s work and the relation of Bache’s work to Buddhism, with contemporary literature on psychedelics in a new religious context with relation to neo-gnostic elements, including the term “paragnosis.”
Introduction and Overview
Authors: Corcoran Jacqueline , Wolk Courtney Benjamin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the United States, 7.7 million children have been diagnosed with at least one mental health disorder. Unmet treatment need is high, and clinical social workers shoulder the work of providing effective mental health services to children, especially those who live in poverty. The purpose of Child and Adolescent Mental Health in Social Work: A Casebook is to provide a comprehensive text, including assessment, goal setting, and intervention, for the treatment of mental health problems in children and adolescents in contemporary social work practice settings. Frameworks used to organize the material are the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), risk and resilience, and evidence-based practice. Detailed case studies illustrate the application of treatments that are empirically supported.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and the Medical Model
Authors: Corcoran Jacqueline , Wolk Courtney Benjamin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) diagnostic system published by the American Psychiatric Association. The reasons for its use among social workers, and its drawbacks, particularly as it comes to the guiding principles and ethics of social work, are discussed. The case of bipolar disorder diagnosis in youths is used as an illustration. Given that the DSM system will likely remain, social workers need to be conversant with the manual and its use, while also retaining a critical perspective. For this book, the DSM is used as an organizing framework to present a survey of the mental health disorders that are commonly seen in community settings.
Eating Disorders
Authors: Corcoran Jacqueline , Wolk Courtney Benjamin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Feeding and eating disorders are characterized by disturbances in a person’s eating behaviors and perceptions of body weight and shape. The focus of this chapter is on anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, but the “eating disorders” are discussed together because the field has accepted a “transdiagnostic” approach, which highlights the shared symptoms and overlapping risk factors. Screening should routinely be done during the assessment of adolescents in medical and mental health settings. Eating disorders are moderately to highly heritable and arise from the combined effects of genes as well as one’s environment and experiences. There is a paucity of research on eating disorder intervention in adolescents compared with other psychiatric disorders. Eating disorders represent a specialty area of practice, so social workers will mainly be involved in referring clients to treatment facilities and specialty care providers.
Practising egalitarianism
Authors: Adlington Robert 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The relationships forged between performers in an ensemble comprise perhaps the most widely recognised way in which music-making can model democracy. The strengths and weaknesses of the democratic analogy for ensemble music-making are carefully assessed. Attention is then turned towards recent approaches to democratic deliberation, which highlight the unavoidability of circumstances that compromise inclusion and equality. These findings are placed against the utopian claims that have been made about collective free improvisation as a practice especially open to differences between performers, claims that have not prevented experiences of exclusion and marginalisation amongst improvisers. Theories of deliberation prove especially useful in indicating how free improvisers’ stated desire to encompass difference may exist alongside a desire for kinds of sameness, driving the articulation of citizenship norms that inevitably establish boundaries to inclusion.
The Coming Storm
Authors: Zoloth Laurie 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter provides a concise review of the history of climate change science, including how the phenomena of global warming and the “greenhouse effect” were first theorized in the early years of the Industrial Revolution, including the work of a woman scientist, Eunice Foote. The scientific observations of weather and weather patterns became increasingly important during World War II, and then, the scientists emerged from war prepared to do serious and long-range forecasting. The chapter briefly describes the earth and atmosphere science that has now discerned the path from industrial production, the use of fossil fuels, to the patterns of global warming. These insights led to a greater understanding of the dynamics of carbon buildup in the Earth’s atmosphere and to the likely effects on the weather of the planet. The chapter then turns to the history of the efforts to address this problem and describes the early meetings that led to the United Nations Intergovernmental Commission on Climate (UNIPPC). The chapter describes the political efforts at the national and international level to create treaties to address the issue and the ways that they have so far failed to curtail extraction and production of fossil fuels. The chapter describes the projected outcomes of a warming planet and describes the dreadful scenarios of the future if we do not intervene.
Making a Place
Authors: Zoloth Laurie 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter turns to the historical example of a natural event that became a national tragedy because of human structural choices to organize a society in a specific way. This dynamic is a metaphoric way to think about our situation as we confront climate change—where human choices will set in motion destructive natural processes that will threaten the lives of our fellow citizens. It is the contention of this chapter that we can learn from the reactions to the Lisbon Earthquake of 1755, and to the ongoing reception of the story of that day, as we look for thoughtful and meaningful responses to the catastrophes of our time, a time in which the fragility and paradoxical power of the natural world challenge our faith traditions, and when we will also need to turn to our text and traditions to draw a different language for our response. It then considers how Jewish rabbinic thought thinks about earthquake and other disruption of the natural world and their relationship to human societies and their choices.
You Must Interrupt Your Life
Authors: Zoloth Laurie 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter was first presented as a speech by the author when she was president to the American Academy of Religion. It calls on the author’s field to stop what it is doing to focus attention on the crisis of climate change and for the wider world of scholars and citizens to consider why such a cessation is necessary. First written in 2014, which was a sabbatical year in the Jewish liturgical calendar, it calls for the institution of a “sabbatical year” in which attendees would not meet in a large group of 10,000, in a fancy hotel, but would teach instead in their own places and teach about climate change and think about what to do. While this call did not work to stop the conferences, ironically, by the next Jewish calendar sabbatical year, in 2020 and 2021, indeed, they did not meet, for by then, COVID-19 had swept across the globe, and they entered a two consecutive winters of virtual events. This chapter explains how a warmer world is also a sicker world, more vulnerable to infection and plague and why a sabbatical year is still important. This chapter uses the concept of the sabbatical in the Hebrew Bible to explore how cessation from ownership and production is a key element of a just society. This chapter develops a “theology of interruption” as the theory that is foundational to this call.
Introduction
Authors: Butler Leslie 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The rise of democracy was a major preoccupation of the nineteenth century. The experience of the United States—including its contradictions, exclusions, and inconsistencies—was central to how contemporaries discussed and understood this phenomenon. Though the government was all-male by design, probing questions about the place of women—free and enslaved, white and Black—within American democracy emerged and extended across print media, both in and outside activist circles. The introduction clarifies the book’s key terms (the “woman question,” published opinion, and democracy) and asserts that across a turbulent century that witnessed the end of slavery, debates over the most suitable modes of self-governance for the female half of the population became vital elements of democratic theory and practice.
Prelude
Authors: Butler Leslie 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This prelude begins the book’s narrative in the 1830s, when the “woman question” began to appear regularly in print, first among abolitionists to refer narrowly to organizational disputes and then in more general interest periodicals. Expanding women’s rights and responsibilities had been proposed and contested during the revolutionary era, but the 1830s represented a new phase in the context of mass-circulation newspapers and periodicals and a mass party system rooted in universal (white manhood) suffrage. Querists and activists alike understood the importance of published opinion as a mechanism for progress in a democratic age and thus did their part to advance or moderate change.
Observing American Democracy
Authors: Butler Leslie 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter reveals how foreign observers in the 1830s helped establish the terms of debate over democracy and the woman question. Curious to learn what the United States could reveal about popular government, a new phenomenon they understood—for good or ill—as inevitable, Alexis de Tocqueville, his traveling companion Gustave de Beaumont, and Harriet Martineau observed a dynamic and expanding American republic first-hand. Across their multiple books, women—enslaved and free, white and nonwhite—and the institution of marriage drew their careful attention. Americans were acutely sensitive to outside observations, especially those that noted the inconsistencies of a self-proclaimed democratic nation attached to slavery and to new aristocracies of “sex” and “skin color.” Fastening attention on the apparently anomalous place of women in American democracy, these observers introduced powerful and enduring turns of phrase into the realm of published opinion.
Domesticating Democracy
Authors: Butler Leslie 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In a rapidly expanding media landscape, a whole industry of advice writing counseled men and women on how to be self-governing, a concept just then undergoing a shift in meaning. Among the most significant of these guides was Catharine Beecher’s Treatise on Domestic Economy (1841), which relied heavily on Tocqueville in rendering wives and mothers central to the success of American democracy. Addressing primarily a white middle-class audience anxious about economic and political change, this domestic literature insisted that the family taught and nurtured crucial habits, which made it the first and most important “school” of self-government. A more radical reimagining of the family appeared in the utopian socialist writings of the Fourierists and, in more enduring terms, in the democratic individuality of Margaret Fuller.
Reconstructing the Woman Question
Authors: Butler Leslie 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter returns to the discussions of the woman question that occurred apart from the specific issues raised by the Civil War and its aftermath. The subject drew the attention of theorists and commentators abroad as well as within United States. The publication of John Stuart Mill’s Subjection of Women in 1869 became a major event in published opinion, eliciting response and commentary far outside movement circles. As many Americans were still reeling from the pace of reform in the 1860s, Mill’s critique of the inequities of traditional marriage provided an opportunity for a sober second thought about expanding women’s rights. In a novel development, women opposed to political rights mobilized to challenge the idea that women desired the vote as an element of their self-governance.
Unresolved Questions
Authors: Butler Leslie 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The last chapter tracks the rise of democratic doubt in the last decades of the nineteenth century. Across various modes of public symposia and in novels, Americans increasingly gave voice to skepticism about popular government, universal suffrage, and women’s desire for the ballot. In the works of a professionalizing political science, democracy became something narrower than it had been in discussions that emphasized educative self-government. Activists began to rethink the high ideals they had articulated decades earlier, embracing a less inclusive, less thoroughgoing, and less consistent vision of political participation. The ebbing of democratic enthusiasm was most clearly manifest in the effective disfranchisement of Black men and the persistent vulnerability of Black households, themes Frances Ellen Watkins Harper took up regularly in the 1890s.
