Abstract:

This chapter examines the legal and social responses to childhood depression. It asks whether the law is blind to cases where the harm the child is suffering can be found in biological causes, wider social inequality, or negative social forces. After providing an overview of depression in children, the chapter reviews legal responses to suffering children. It then considers what role the law should have, if any, to address the issue of childhood depression by discussing the nature of childhood depression and child protection. It also describes the dangers that might arise if the law did decide to adopt a broader attitude towards child protection, so as to include childhood depression. The chapter suggests that, while there is a strong case in principle for there being legal responsibilities owed to all suffering children, regardless of the cause of that suffering, there are also considerable dangers in taking that approach.

Abstract:

A psychodynamic perspective attempts to understand the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) in terms of excessive, maladaptive efforts to cope with perceived dangers posed by aggressive or sexual impulses and in terms of distorted information processing and rigid cognitive styles that are intolerant of ambiguity. The psychodynamic perspective also sees OC phenomena against the backdrop of normal childhood development and the vicissitudes of conscience formation, as well as culturally defined notions of ordered boundaries/transgressions and cleanliness/pollution. This perspective provides valuable insights into the subjective experience of patients with these disorders. Similarly, although psychodynamic therapy in its classic form appears to be ineffective for the core symptoms of obsessions and compulsions, the psychodynamic approach can be very helpful in understanding what patients make of their symptoms and in forming a therapeutic alliance that facilitates more evidence-based approaches.

Abstract:

Chapter 2 investigates a case in which large segments of the public praised a deeply suspect act of witnessing without critical scrutiny. Questions of historical authenticity (as well as authorship and authority) attend the rhetorically inventive nature of witnessing in Binjamin Wilkomirski’s fraudulent Holocaust memoir, titled Fragments. The author’s alleged childhood memories during his fictional imprisonment at Auschwitz were hailed as an instant classic in the genre for its apparent historical authenticity, and subsequently lauded with international literary awards, but historians and journalists who eventually questioned its historical accuracy proved, in the end, that the book was fake. The chapter examines why even actual Holocaust survivors celebrated Fragments as an authentic work of testimony insofar as Wilkomirski borrowed and recycled numerous tropes and images characteristic of postwar survivor memoirs, including the ethos of the survivor, fragmented memories, and recollections focused on trauma. Wilkomirski’s book illustrates potential dangers that attend the extensive public receptiveness for commonplace, and oftentimes unquestioned, tropes of authenticity in witnessing.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the classical Hindu life-cycle rites, the term saṃskāra and its history, and the main sources (Gṛhyasūtras and Dharma texts). It presents a history of the traditional saṃskāras and variants in local contexts, especially in Nepal. It describes prenatal, birth and childhood, initiation, marriage, old-age, death, and ancestor rituals. Finally, it analyzes the transformational process of these life-cycle rituals in the light of general theories on rites of passage. It proposes, in saṃskāras, man equates himself with the unchangeable and thus seems to counteract the uncertainty of the future, of life and death, since persons are confronted with their finite existence. For evidently every change, whether social or biological, represents a danger for the cohesion of the vulnerable community of the individual and society. These rituals then become an attempt of relegating the effects of nature or of mortality: birth, teething, sexual maturity, reproduction, and dying.

Abstract:

Sexual violence is a significant problem in the military and civilian communities. Sexual assault is the ultimate violation and causes grievous injuries affecting all aspects of self. The impact of the trauma can linger for many years or, for some, a lifetime, and it can have a devastating effect on a person’s ability to feel safe and engage in intimate relationships, whether sexual or nonsexual. This chapter explores the psychological injuries that occur following the trauma of sexual violence and how that trauma affects a person’s ability to be intimate in relationships. It provides information on the scope of sexual violence, adverse childhood experiences and the military and veteran populations, complex trauma, and the intersection of sexual violence and co-occurring conditions. The chapter also addresses the healing and recovery process and discusses implications for practice related to a trauma-informed approach, risk and danger, screening, assessment, and intervention.

Abstract:

Children’s art became a powerful weapon in America’s Cold War arsenal. Through art exchange programs like Art for World Friendship, American children functioned as cultural ambassadors as their assumed innocence came to symbolize national innocence. Children’s art functioned as propaganda and public relations, a tool of statecraft, and a means of citizen education. But peace activists and educators also encouraged children’s cultural diplomacy through the visual arts as a means of achieving “world friendship.” Art for World Friendship highlights the fact that children were considered crucial actors in national and international Cold War politics. Educators, government officials, and peace activists believed that children could and should help to foster international understanding of the United States in an increasingly dangerous world. Implicit in postwar youth art exchange programs was a belief in the political and cultural innocence of children, coupled with the explicit politicization of childhood innocence.

Abstract:

“The children of Eve”: poor children and teenagers in the shadow of delinquency and abandonment in Florianópolis – 1900-1940 This book analyzes the discourses of intellectuals, jurists, and public authorities about poor children and teenagers in Florianópolis in the first four decades of the twentieth century. In the country’s pedagogical knowledge in that century, childhood had a “natural plasticity”, therefore susceptible to molding. Thus, shaping the child and adjusting it to the ideals of a “civilized” society became the pivot of passionate discourses in State Chambers and Federal Congress, as well as in the intellectual environment. In those, poor children and adolescents became synonyms of “abandoned” and/or “perverted. The discourses ranged from defending those children and adolescents, to protecting society against them, since they also “represented” a threat to the nation’s “order and progress”. When analyzing the experiences of those children we penetrate in a world of the “pitiful” and the “dangerous”, as well as in a network of intrigues. In it not only the “minors” were subject to a project of exclusion under the aegis of differentiated inclusion, but everyone that represents “the other”, the one that does not fit the normative system which, in that moment, was regarded as “universal and absolute”.

Abstract:

The norms and expectations of father involvement have changed rapidly within one to two generations. Socially and economically marginalized fathers are being exposed to these messages through popular culture and the media; in state welfare, child protection, and probation offices; in jails, prisons, and post-release programs; and in child support and family courts. Moreover, they are being told that it is up to them to make better choices, to get themselves together, and to be involved fathers. Based on life history interviews with 138 low-income fathers, Black and Keyes show that fathers have internalized these messages and sound determined. After all, there is social worth in fatherhood, hope for creating meaningful lives or new beginnings, the fantasy of leaving something of value behind in the world, and a stake in resisting stigmatizing labels like the deadbeat dad. Most will, however, fall short for several reasons: first, while the expectations for father involvement were increasing, state and economic support for low-income families was decreasing; second, vulnerable fathers often lack viable models to guide them; third, living in dangerous neighborhoods compromises fatherhood and leaves fathers at odds with dominant institutional narratives about being nurturing fathers; and fourth, the dark side of poverty, inscribed on bodies and minds, leaves some struggling with childhood traumas and unhealthy routines to mitigate or numb these painful developmental disruptions. Consequently, the authors assert that without transformative economic, political, and social change that would facilitate and support engaged and nurturing fatherhood, these fathers are being “set up.”
