  • Return on investment from service transformation for young people experiencing mental health problems

    Open AccessJai Shah, Zeinab Moinfar et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Complex interventions such as AOM aim to shift care "upstream": away from acute, emergency, hospital and specialist services and toward community-based programming which is more easily accessible, often more appropriate for early-stage presentations, and more resource-efficient. Carrying out economic evaluations of such interventions is challenging given the constraints of available data and health system organization. Nonetheless, such analyses …

    Using the semantic shift in Old Norse/Icelandic conceptual categories associated with such terms as ágætr, frægđ, lof, metnađr, virđing, this essay explores the changing heroic ethos of medieval Scandinavia from a focus on achieved honour toward an idealized view of fame and honour as goals in themselves

  • A case of witchcraft assault in early nineteenth-century England as ostensive action

    Open AccessStephen Α Mitchell, Stephen MitchellCHAPTERWitchcraft Continued2018

    The case of Ann Izzard is hardly a severe instance among post-Enlightenment witchcraft episodes. By the early nineteenth century, the symbiotic relationship between elite and non-elite sections of society where witchcraft is concerned has changed, and the differing views of magic, evil and causation held by the authorities and by those over whom they had dominion play out in significantly different ways. Among the villagers of Great Paxton, the a…

  • Celtic wars

    Open AccessStephen Α Mitchell, Stephen MitchellCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2012

    Warfare was a central occupation for Galatian (Celtic) society. The large bands of Celts who reached Macedonia in 280 BCE and crossed into Asia Minor in 278, were headed by warrior bands, whose leaders owed their status to military success and the booty that was to be won from attacking the rich sanctuaries and settlements of the eastern Mediterranean.

  • Witchcraft and Deep Time-a debate at Harvard

    Open AccessStephen Α Mitchell, Stephen Mitchell et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2010Cited by: 2References: 6

    Archaeology, consistently warned off religion by wise old heads, here rushes deeper into the thicket to tackle the thorny topic of ancient witchcraft. The occasion was a seminar at Harvard organised by Stephen Mitchell and Neil Price to mark the twentieth anniversary of Carlo Ginzburg's influential book on the connections between witches and shamanism - and by implication the possible connections with prehistoric ritual and belief. Archaeology wa…

    Jessica Benjamin's contributions have exerted an enormous influence on contemporary psychoanalytic thought in general and on me in particular. I consider here some of the concepts basic to her approach that 1 find most helpful: recognition, identification and identificatory love, and gender overinclusiveness. I then point to the ways in which overinclusiveness in retaining certain lines of theorizing poses occasional problems for me
