Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy compared to usual treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder in adults with psychosis in forensic settings
This is the first EMDR trial in mental health inpatient, forensic, or custodial settings, where PTSD is common. There were improvements in PTSD and other symptomatology consistent with EMDR being a safe and effective treatment for PTSD in these settings.

Propagating ‘Democracy’ in China? A Two-Way Communication Explanation
This article compares official statements on democracy and ordinary people’s understandings of the term to examine whether government propaganda works to shape the democratic conceptions of the masses. The findings show that official narratives centered on ‘good governance’ have gradually been picked up by ordinary people over time. While the finding could be interpreted as solely the outcome of top-down state propaganda, the authors argue that t…
Popular Value Perceptions and Institutional Preference for Democracy in “Confucian” East Asia
A democratic recession coupled with China’s rise has reopened the Asian values debate between modernizers in favor of Western liberal democracy and traditional adherents to Confucianism. Using data from the third wave of the Asian Barometer Survey (2010–2012), we reexamine this debate by considering the implications of Confucian values for democratic orientations in seven societies: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, mainland China…
Lipid Profiles, Glycated Hemoglobin, and Diabetes in People Living at High Altitude in Nepal
This study aimed to describe lipid profiles and the distribution of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in a sample of a high altitude population of Nepal and to explore associations between these metabolic risk variables and altitude. A cross-sectional survey of cardiovascular disease and associated risk factors was conducted among 521 people living at four different altitude levels, all above 2800 m, in the Mustang and Humla districts of Nepal. Urban p…
Self-Valuation and Societal Valuations of Health State Differ With Disease Severity in Chronic and Disabling Conditions
OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the relationship between self-reported ratings of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by people with 3 chronic and disabling conditions and population estimates of those health states and to model factors that might explain the disagreement between these 2 ratings. RESEARCH DESIGN: A cross-sectional postal survey was sent in which each participant completed a set of questionnaires addressing HRQoL. Data from …
Making Medicine Scientific
This paper discusses the strategies used to construct scientific medicine in mid-Victorian Britain. An opening section considers why it was thought desirable to create a properly scientific medicine, and outlines the empirical and rational bases of the medical establishment's projects for this. The bulk of the paper concerns an alternative approach to making medicine scientific--that put forward by certain advocates of homoeopathy--and how this a…
Personal factors as a cause of differences in prescribing by general practitioners
The quantity and identity of drugs prescribed under the National Health Service vary widely between different towns (Martin, 1957; Benjamin and Ash, 1964). The reasons are not well understood, but differences of morbidity and mortality in the towns are not solely responsible (Lee, 1964). The differences in prescribing between towns remain relatively stable over months and years, so that the rank order of towns with different rates or different co…
