Illusory Agency in Anorexia Nervosa
Introduction
Starving to death and the anorexic frame of mind
Because some forms of self-starvation such as hunger striking are exempt from attributions of pathology, and due to incomplete understanding of its etiology, anorexia nervosa (AN) is and must presently be defined by psychological criteria as well as behavioral and bodily measures. Although opaque, typical motivational frames of mind in AN lack the apparent cognitive and volitional dysfunction usually indicating disorder. In contrast to other cond…

Clark Lawlor, From Melancholia to Prozac
Let Them Eat Prozac
David Healy, New York: New York University Press, 2004. Pp. 368. $29.95 (hbk). ISBN 0814736696. David Healy recounts in this volume the story of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and the emergence of their links with suicidal behaviour in the 1990s. As one of the key consultants and witnesses throughout the era when pharmaceutical companies such as Lilly defended themselves against accusations of shoddy science, cover-up, negligence…

Divided minds and successive - introduction: why it matters modernist misgiving over a unified self the framework and sequence of argument a reader's guide preliminary terminological clarification. Heterogeneities of self in everyday life: perspectives disunity: heterogeneities at a given time discontinuity: heterogeneities of self over time more puzzling divisions: self-deception and Akrasia the heterogeneous self: a touchstone. A language of su…
Relational Individualism and Feminist Therapy
My aim here is to clarify the practice of honoring and validating the relational model of self which plays an important role in feminist therapy. This practice rests on a tangle of psychological claims, moral and political values, and mental health norms which require analysis. Also, severe pathology affects the relative “relationality” of the self. By understanding it we can better understand the senses of autonomy compatible with and even requi…

Divided minds and successive selves
Shame and Blame
Do our customary notions of shame, blame and guilt require us to adopt a particular view of the self's singularity and invariance through time? Consider the intriguing case of John Demjanjuk, tried in Israel during 1987 and 1988 for the crimes of “Ivan the Terrible,” a concentration camp guard at Treblinka in Poland, during 1942–43. John Demjanjuk, a retired factory worker living in Cleveland, Ohio, appeared banal at his trial—old, quiet, ordinar…
Second Thoughts
In asking questions about a person's right or authority to decide for his or her future self, we are tempted to invoke a Parfitian metaphysic of separate selves. Successive selves here are not merely a useful figure of speech such as Elster and Schelling employ, but a moral guide.' 2 Such thinking invites a rather standard alignment: advance directives are morally binding while traditional notions of personal identity prevail, but when with Parfi…

Madness and Reason
Defining Self-Deception
In this paper I shall first expose a weakness shared by several philosophical discussions of self-deception: I shall show that these discussions have failed to give it a complete analysis. The apparent phenomenon of self-deception is all too familiar, and yet its adequate characterization in general terms is wanting. More exactly, I shall argue that to understand self-deception statically , as these accounts have done, has been—and must be—to fai…
