        Psychoanalyse und Unterschicht

        Soziale Herkunft - ein Hindernis für die psychoanalytische Behandlung? Herausgegeben von Klaus Menne und Klaus Schröter

        by Klaus Schröter, Klaus Menne

        Angehörige der sozialen Unterschicht sind in der Klientel der Psychoanalyse deutlich unterrepräsentiert. Dies wurde vielfach durch ein Krankheitsverständnis dieser sozialen Gruppe zu erklären versucht, das in erster Linie an körperlichen Beschwerden orientiert ist. Da ein organisches Krankheitsverständnis die notwendige Mitarbeit im therapeutischen Prozeß erschwert, konnte gefolgert werden, daß diese Patienten nicht psychoanalytisch behandelbar seien. Auch ihre psychische Struktur und ihr Sprachgebrauch erschienen als kaum überwindbare Hindernisse. Eine aus Psychoanalytikern und Soziologen bestehende Arbeitsgruppe am Frankfurter Sigmund-Freud-Institut hat psychoanalytische Erstinterviews und Behandlungen von Patienten aus der sozialen Unterschicht untersucht, um zu klären, welche spezifischen Probleme im therapeutischen Prozeß auftreten und ob diese eine Behandlung mit den Mitteln der psychoanalytischen Technik verhindern. Als wesentlich erwies sich das Verhältnis von innerpsychischer und gesellschaftlicher Realität. Arbeitsteilung und gesellschaftliche Herrschaftsverhältnisse treten hier als »soziale Distanz« zwischen Patient und Arzt in Erscheinung. Dies kann dazu führen, daß die psychische Situation des Patienten durch äußere Gegebenheiten verdeckt wird: so etwa, weil der Patient seine Realität (die er eng mit den eigenen Phantasien verknüpft) als schwer durchschaubaren Widerstand gegen die Therapie benutzt, oder, weil der Analytiker diese für ihn ungewohnte soziale Realität nicht hinterfragt. Ein therapeutisch wirksames Gespräch setzt voraus, daß der Patient die Welt seines inneren Erlebens zum Ausdruck bringen kann, aber es setzt nicht voraus, daß dies in der Sprache der Mittelschicht geschieht. Gelingt es dem Analytiker, mit den besonderen Problemen, die sich in der Arbeit mit dieser Klientel ergeben, angemessen umzugehen, so unterscheiden sich die zutage tretenden psychischen Konflikte und die sich daraus ergebenden Konstellationen des psychoanalytischen Pr

        Brexit and citizens’ rights

        History, policy and experience

        by Djordje Sredanovic, Bridget Byrne

        The book offers interdisciplinary analyses of the impact of Brexit on the rights of EU27 citizens in the UK, Britons in the UK and the EU, and third-country nationals. It combines a historical examination of citizenship and migration between the UK, Europe and the Commonwealth with the analysis of policies and of the experiences of the different groups impacted by Brexit. The book discusses Brexit within the larger history and dynamics of UK and EU citizenship and migration. The individual chapters look at how Brexit is transforming the citizenship rights of different groups, including issues of loss of citizenship and experiences of naturalisation. They further examine the fears of the groups impacted, and larger issues of belonging, marginalisation, political orientations and mobilisations that cross legal status, nationality, ethnicity, race and class.

        Children’s rights in crisis

        Multidisciplinary, transnational, and comparative perspectives

        by Salvador Santino F. Regilme Jr.

        This book rigorously investigates the contemporary state of children's rights and the multifaceted challenges facing children, uncovering the complexities at their core. In 1989, the United Nations introduced the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), ratified by 196 nations, promising a world where children's rights would reign supreme. In practice, however, realising these rights proves intricate and often precarious. Policies may shine on paper, but their implementation grapples with the challenges posed by global governance structures, national strategies, and local factors. Over three decades since the CRC's inception, this book scrutinises the true efficacy of international commitments, shedding light on underexplored issues and revealing shortcomings in both discourse and actions. With diverse, interdisciplinary perspectives, it recognises the profound influence of global and transnational forces in generating outcomes that impact children's rights and welfare.

        Critical theory and human rights

        From compassion to coercion

        by David McGrogan

        This book describes how human rights have given rise to a vision of benevolent governance that, if fully realised, would be antithetical to individual freedom. It describes human rights' evolution into a grand but nebulous project, rooted in compassion, with the overarching aim of improving universal welfare by defining the conditions of human well-being and imposing obligations on the state and other actors to realise them. This gives rise to a form of managerialism, preoccupied with measuring and improving the 'human rights performance' of the state, businesses and so on. The ultimate result is the 'governmentalisation' of a pastoral form of global human rights governance, in which power is exercised for the general good, moulded by a complex regulatory sphere which shapes the field of action for the individual at every turn. This, unsurprisingly, does not appeal to rights-holders themselves.

        Stage rights!

        The Actresses’ Franchise League, activism and politics 1908–58

        by Naomi Paxton

        Stage rights! explores the work and legacy of the first feminist political theatre group of the twentieth century, the Actresses' Franchise League. Formed in 1908 to support the suffrage movement through theatre, the League and its membership opened up new roles for women on stage and off, challenged stereotypes of suffragists and actresses, created new work inspired by the movement and was an integral part of the performative propaganda of the campaign. Introducing new archival material to both suffrage and theatre histories, this book is the first to focus in detail on the Actresses' Franchise League, its membership and its work. The volume is formulated as a historiographically innovative critical biography of the organisation over the fifty years of its activities, and invites a total reassessment of the League within the accepted narratives of the development of political theatre in the UK.

        The Patient Catchers

        How we are talked into illness

        by Michelle Hildebrandt

        The health market seems to have been unleashed, more and more actors, indications, methods compete for attention. Dr. Michelle Hildebrandt shows how companies, but also doctors and alternative medicine are “catching” patients out of economic interests – and how we are happy to put up with that. So more and more people are being treated unnecessarily or incorrectly with medicine and therapies, while at the same time rogue providers are propagating sometimes dangerous methods instead of calling for life-saving diagnostics. Knowledge is needed in order for patients to overcome their self-inflicted immaturity. Michelle Hildebrandt‘s book makes an important contribution to this.

        The Black Death

        by Rosemary Horrox

        This series provides texts central to medieval studies courses and focuses upon the diverse cultural, social and political conditions that affected the functioning of all levels of medieval society. Translations are accompanied by introductory and explanatory material and each volume includes a comprehensive guide to the sources' interpretation, including discussion of critical linguistic problems and an assessment of recent research on the topics covered. From 1348 to 1350 Europe was devastated by an epidemic that left between a third and one half of the population dead. This source book traces, through contemporary writings, the calamitous impact of the Black Death in Europe, with a particular emphasis on its spread across England from 1348 to 1349. Rosemary Horrox surveys contemporary attempts to explain the plague, which was universally regarded as an expression of divine vengeance for the sins of humankind. Moralists all had their particular targets for criticism. However, this emphasis on divine chastisement did not preclude attempts to explain the plague in medical or scientific terms. Also, there was a widespread belief that human agencies had been involved, and such scapegoats as foreigners, the poor and Jews were all accused of poisoning wells. The final section of the book charts the social and psychological impact of the plague, and its effect on the late-medieval economy.
