Abstract:

L’esecuzione della pena in ottica (ri)educativa è tema assai dibattuto attraverso approcci anche multidisciplinari. In questo volume esso è affrontato in chiave risarcitoria, ovvero attraverso il riconoscimento della necessità di predisporre dispositivi educativi di contrasto alle ‘azioni educative avverse’, cui può essere esposta la popolazione detenuta all’interno di contesti penitenziari, ed al fenomeno della recidiva. Oltre agli elementi del programma trattamentale (strutturato, intenzionale, normato e proceduralizzato), ogni momento di espiazione della pena – anche quelle taken for grante

Abstract Supportive psychotherapy is widely practiced but poorly defined, often misunderstood, and unfairly disparaged. Dr. Markowitz and his colleagues manualized Brief Supportive Psychotherapy (BSP) years ago as a time-limited control treatment to compare to “more active” established psychotherapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Psychotherapy in research studies. In fact, BSP, an emotion-focused, bare-bones treatment based on Carl Rogers’s Client-Centered Therapy, has since proven to be a robust treatment in multiple randomized controlled treatment trials.

The world in which we live is largely the product of the rise, competition, and fall of empires. This chapter examines European, and principally British, ideologies of imperialism during the last two hundred years. The chapter starts by distinguishing between imperial imaginaries, ideologies, and theories, before dissecting elements of the western imperial imaginary, focusing in particular on notions of civilizational hierarchy. The rest of the article examines three ideal-typical aspects of imperial ideology: justification; governance; and resistance. Ideologies of justification provide reaso

Abstract:

This chapter explores farmers' strategies for recruiting and disciplining a diverse workforce of slaves, free blacks, and hired whites. Regardless of the composition of their workforces, landowners labored under certain imperatives: they needed to eliminate or at least trim the cost of supporting their workers' dependent kin and to rid themselves of surplus hands during slower seasons while guaranteeing a workforce adequate for harvesting wheat. To balance these competing imperatives, employers of free labor winnowed workers they perceived as unproductive from their rolls and crafted economic

Abstract:

This book argues that domestic governance influenced by Confucianism can embrace the liberal aspects of democracy along with the democratic ideas of equal opportunities and governmental accountability to the people. But Confucianism would give more political decision-making power to those with the moral, practical, and intellectual capabilities of caring for the people. While most democratic thinkers still focus on strengthening equality to cure the ills of democracy, the proposed hybrid regime—made up of Confucian-inspired meritocratic characteristics combined with democratic elements and a q

In this chapter, Brady argues in favour of a desire view of unpleasantness, which is the central element of suffering.

In the chapter he defends this view against the most important objections, he then goes on to show how this view is preferable to rival views, and he ends by explaining how this view of unpleasantness, and the view of suffering given in Chapter 1,
