Virtuous drug use in the neoliberal age
Background Agency over personal happiness has become established as a normative discourse within the self-interested agendas of neoliberal individuals. Within this context, we argue that it is possible to frame drugtaking as “virtuous.”Methods We aim to: i) provide evidence that a neoliberal individualized presentation of drugtaking as “virtuous” is emerging; and ii) explore the processes by which such a framing is legitimated by society.Results …
The Biology of Moral Systems
First published in 1987, this book discusses the life and natural history of moral systems as seen through the eyes of a biologist. The volume offers a comprehensive introspective of the biology of a moral system by examining the evolutionary approach from perspectives of sociobiology and ideology. Morality in relation to conflicts and confluences of interest among humankind are further evaluated, with particular emphasis on the human psyche and …
Insider Dealing and Money Laundering in the EU
This work presents a comparative study of the provisions relating to insider dealing under the EC Insider Dealing Directive. The volume begins with a discussion of the rationale for regulating financial services in general and controlling insider dealing and money-laundering in particular. It examines the definition of an insider and of inside information and the various criminal offenses relating to insider dealing. The role of money-laundering …
From the analysis of ecological discourse to the ecological analysis of discourse
Framing Discourse on the Environment
In this study, Richard Alexander presents a series of original and empirically based case studies of the language and discourse involved in the discussion of environmental and ecological issues. Relying upon a variety of different text types and genres – including company websites, advertisements, press articles, speeches and lectures – Alexander interrogates how in the media, press, corporate and activist circles language is employed to argue fo…
Attachment insecurity, depression, and the transition to parenthood
In a longitudinal study of adult attachment and depression during the transition to parenthood, 76 couples completed questionnaires on three occasions: during the second trimester of pregnancy, and six weeks and six months postbirth. On the first and second occasions, the couples were also interviewed about their experiences of pregnancy and parenthood, respectively. Measures were also completed at similar time intervals by a comparison group of …
Attachment style and coping resources as predictors of coping strategies in the transition to parenthood
The relations among adult attachment style, coping resources, appraised strain, and coping strategies were examined in a prospective study of married couples having their first child ( N = 92). Attachment and coping resources were measured during the second trimester of pregnancy, and parenting strain and coping strategies were assessed when the babies were about 6 weeks old. Results supported a theoretical model proposing that attachment is pred…

Pattern rate and interpattern interval in development of matching simple auditory-visual patterns
Assessed the possibility that previous failures to find evidence of more rapid inter- than intramodal development of matching of simple auditory and visual patterns have occurred because of the exclusive use of slow patterns and short interpattern intervals. In Exp I 32 1st- and 32 3rd-grade boys were compared in inter- and intramodal matching of fast or slow spatiotemporal patterns with long or short interpattern intervals. In Exp II the same co…
Developmental trends in auditory-visual cross-modal matching of spatio-temporal patterns
Compared 10 Ss, boys and girls aged 5, 8, and 11 yrs, in within- and cross-modal matching of auditory and visual spatio-temporal patterns. Separate analyses of hit and false alarm rates showed no effects that could be attributed to a differential development of within- and cross-modal tasks. Contrary to the findings of H. G. Birch and L. Belmont, therefore, the present study provides evidence against the notion that intersensory integration incre…
Contribution to the Psychological Understanding of Pruritus Ani
A case of pruritus ani of 7 years duration is presented. Whereas the patient was in psychoanalysis for over 4 years as the result of a more disturbing character problem, a detailed investigation into the nature of psychodynamic meaning of pruritus ani could be made. The pruritus symptoms themselves are perhaps the most prominent features in a syndrome which includes characteristics of both a physical and psychic nature. Common physical entities i…
