Abstract:

Abstract This book applies a gender lens to examine the implications of climate change for livelihoods in vulnerable states. The goals are to enhance awareness of climate change as a gender issue, and to highlight the importance of gender in identifying livelihood vulnerabilities and in designing more robust climate adaptation measures, especially in climate-sensitive industries such as agriculture. The contributions in this book examine how the consequences of climate change affect women and men in different ways, and address the implications of climate change for women's livelihoods and reso

Abstract:

The more diverse and rich a person's life is, the more areas of activity, different sides of reality he comes into contact with. People get a lot of resources from them, but at the same time each such sphere has its own vulnerability and is able to create threats to the security of people, societies and States. Most dangerous of all are the threats that affect the vital basis of human existence. These include threats to food security. They have long gone beyond biological or medical limits and received a truly geopolitical scope.  The monograph shows how these threats were born and grew,

This chapter describes the process of progressive decentring of two partners taking part in a dialogue. Phenomenological unfolding is the taking of a third-person perspective on one’s own experiences. The hermeneutic moment consists in position-taking and perspective-taking with respect to one’s own experiences and their meanings. It requires the capacity to distance oneself from one’s own habits in interpreting and understanding the ‘facts’ of one’s own life, and to make of these very habits the object for reflection and for understanding.

Abstract:

Chancellor Angela Merkel’s exceptional public popularity and persistence as the head of three German governments—two of which were “grand coalitions”—presents a fascinating puzzle. Re-elected twice and half through her third term, Merkel has retained a strikingly high level of leadership capital for at least ten years. This chapter offers a twofold explanation for Merkel’s largely unexpected trajectory as a rock-solid leader. First, she has managed to turn the particular institutional and political constraints of Germany’s compound democracy into opportunities. The need to avoid bold leadershi

Abstract:

This chapter argues that the extreme variability of schizophrenic phenotypes is a paradigmatic case study for explicating the dialectics between uncanny feelings of depersonalization/derealization and the attitude of the person who experiences them. Why do persons who suffer from these kinds of anomalous self-, body-, and world-experiences develop either a delusional form of schizophrenia or a ‘pauci-symptomatic’ type of this illness, or a schizotypal personality disorder? Why do delusions in people with schizophrenia take on so many different themes, and not only ontological ones, but also, f

Abstract:

Treating the other as an autonomous person is widely considered a guiding ethical principle. The notions of autonomy and personhood are, however, far from evident in a time of striding naturalism. Hermeneutical phenomenology provides an explanation of these notions, and argues that personhood is not merely an ethical principle, but an integral part of vulnerability to mental illness. In other words, ethics and questions of norms and values are not merely a bioethical add-on to psychiatry, but an integral part of what it means to do psychiatry. Being a person is to be faced with the constant ta

Abstract:

According to the narrative crisis model, as people with trait vulnerability to suicidal behavior experience stressful life events, they develop a perception of their life story as moving toward “the dead end,” which gives rise to the acute suicide crisis syndrome. This chapter details the suicidal narrative component of the narrative crisis theory, which organizes the common themes of suicidal narrative into seven phases that follow a coherent life story of progressive failure and alienation until the future becomes impossible: Setting up unrealistic life goals, entitlement to happiness, humil

Although precipitated by the trauma and shame over being abandoned by Aristotle Onassis and the precipitous deterioration of her voice, Callas midlife disintegration reflects deeper psychological vulnerabilities. Throughout her life, Callas’s lingering view that her car

Inventing the Feeble Mind explores the history of this disability in the United States from its several identifications over the past 200 years—idiocy, imbecility, feeblemindedness, mental defect, mental deficiency, mental retardation, and most recently intellectual disability. Using institutional records, private correspondence, personal memories, and rare photographs, James Trent argues that the economic vulnerability of intellectually disabled people

There, in a time of encroaching segregation and racial injustice, a number of black litigants found disproportionate success in the realm of tort litigation. During their trials, black litigants shaped their testimony to meet the legal basis of personal injury, emphasizing their own caut

The Homeric wisdom program highlights the role of character and choice in reaching personal fulfillment. What guides choice and supplies the criteria for a choiceworthy life are limits inherent in the social and sacred orders, which are recognized as unalterable realities (human mortality; fate), customary expectations (especially regarding honor), and certain virtues proper to heroic life (courage; cunning). Cosmic order, though taken for granted, is not an important resource for moral reasoning. Because knowledge and power ultimately reside with the gods, it belongs to humans to honor the go

The body can also be a subtle means of communication that conveys the prophets’ experience of personal vulnerability and t

The existing evidence shows that neurodevelopment continues throughout EA in support of emerging adult roles. The data suggest a frontolimbic fine-tuning model of brain development in EA that holds that adult functions are promote

Chapter 5 argues that work makes us vulnerable to those whose labor is presupposed by ours.

The division between high- and low-skilled labor enables the accumulation of capital by obscuring this value and the interest of the vast majority of wor

It is argued that although there are valuable lessons to be learnt from each of these skeptical challenges, their overall contribution is best understood in terms of friendly correctives to an autonomy-centered normative and conceptual framework instead of viable alternatives to it. The first four sections each provide a logical reconstruction of a distinct skeptical line of reasoning about autonomy and expand on its implications for psychiatric ethics: skepticism

The book analyses how such texts are collaborative, emergent, and between-categories, and shows why this matters.

The narrative crisis model of suicide posits that individuals attempt suicide when they experience a distinct emotional state termed the suicide crisis syndrome. This chapter describes the model, which has three components: trait vulnerability, suicidal narrative, and the suicidal crisis syndrome. Trait vulnerability includes all static risk factors, which are relatively stable over time and distal to acute suicidal behavior. Suicidal narrative describes a suicidal person’s perception of his or her life story in which the past has led to an intolerable present and a future that is unimaginable

This chapter discusses how the vulnerability to madness, as the cypher of condicio humana, imbues responsibility. Schizophrenia and melancholia represent two opposite polarities of distorted agency and of responsibility. In the former, the person, while performing a given action, does not feel that he is the one who is voluntarily acting. He feels that the source of his actions is placed beyond the boundaries of the Self, and thus is out of control. Persons affected by melancholia, vice versa, attribute to themselves the cause of effects that, from another perspective, cannot be attributed to
