This introduction establishes the overarching claim of this book: that Elizabethan and Jacobean dramatists consistently focus on the disastrous consequences of willing and will-making, while simultaneously emphasizing the vital role that wills played in defining one’s sense of identity and self-worth. English Renaissance drama can be understood, in one way, to be preoccupied with considering the influence that wills exert over human life.

Here, I provide an overview of how both the faculty of the will and the last will and testament were conceived of in the period. The will was primarily thought to be an unruly part of the soul that hinders our ability to achieve what we desire, though the performance of the will was not merely localized to the body or psyche. One way of enacting one’s will upon the world was achieved for some through the production of a last will and testament. Last wills acted as tools for testators to impose their will upon the living, dictating who will, and who will not, benefit from their death. In their immaterial and material forms, wills shaped the quality and conditions of one’s life and afterlife.

The chapter will help you to be able to explain what panic disorder is and how it typically presents, including unexpected panic attacks, and subsequent fear and attempted avoidance of further attacks, describe and use evidence-based CBT protocols for panic disorder, choose and use appropriate formulation models for CBT for panic disorder, describe the importance of using exposure to panic symptoms in any treatment plan, develop a treatment plan for CBT for panic disorder, using appropriate measures, and take account of comorbidity in managing CBT for panic disorder

This chapter explores the interconnections between European colonialism and European integration, in particular in the creation of the single market. It examines the emergence of regional (EU) social and labour law against the backdrop of decolonization, arguing that the EU market integration project, and the ability to embed that market in the ‘social’, owe much to the ‘racial capitalism’ of European colonial dominance over the territory and resources of other regions. Exploring the temporal and the spatial dimensions of EU integration, a key argument of the chapter is that there has been no clean break between the colonial past of the constituent Member States of the EU, and the neocolonial present of the European project. This ongoing legacy can be seen in the ways in which the development of the EU’s social dimension, or ‘social regionalism’, influences and constrains the policy space available for another regionalism project, the African Union, to develop its own version of social regionalism.

The Association of Women of El Salvador, an organization composed of combatants, peasants, and exile, redefined revolution to mean the overthrow of both capitalism and patriarchy. The sites of feminist praxis included guerrilla territories in El Salvador, refugee camps in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and solidarity networks in Mexico, Nicaragua, and the United States. Within the guerrilla territories, AMES members actively participated in community councils, an experiment in popular democracy, and generated a feminist praxis that linked the exigencies of wartime survival to the long-term liberation of women. At the international level, Salvadoran women collaborated with other radical women from Latin America and the United States to push their organizations in more feminist directions.

Chapter 39 covers the topic of narcolepsy disorder. Through a case vignette with topical MCQs for consolidation of learning, readers are brought through from first presentation to treatment of narcolepsy disorder. Topics covered include diagnosis, assessment of severity and management.

This chapter examines William of Ockham’s theory of mental speech, focusing on aspects that have been claimed to give rise to the possibility of pernicious ambiguity. Against these claims, which center on the varieties of reference allowed by supposition theory, we argue that Ockham’s theory remains coherent despite marginal instances of ambiguity. We review two types of suppositional ambiguity: Type 1, in which referring terms can be interpreted as suppositing personally, materially, or simply; and Type 2, in which supposition is personal but can vary in tense or modality. Type 1 ambiguity is ruled out, except in extreme cases, by the fact that “changing” the supposition of a term requires a conscious, reflexive act of the speaker; Type 2 ambiguity, while more of a live possibility, is generally either absent or harmless. In neither case does ambiguity seriously compromise the function of mental speech as a vehicle of human cognition.

In chapter two, Helen O’Connell explores the idea of cultural repression as an unintended consequence of a program of language and cultural renewal. Too often, the early Irish Revival promoted the rewards of cultural renewal without at the same time emphasizing the hard work of education and social improvement that such renewal entailed. Revivalists such as Douglas Hyde and D. P. Moran attempted to reverse social and cultural decline by creating resources out of the cheerless forbearance, that is to say, the suffering of ancestors, all in the name of an Ireland free of any debased and debasing foreign culture. Hyde and Moran were dedicated to the Irish language and the importance of elevating Irish culture and Irish industries and both advocated the rejection of deleterious English influences. But each occupied a different position: one was an Anglo-Protestant and the other a Catholic, one minimized politics and ideology, the other amplified both.

This chapter develops the second core feature of the MOUDD theory, the whole nervous system model of the neurophysiological basis of phenomenal consciousness. It develops an allied conception of consciousness as involving hyperexperience and different forms and degrees of consciousness.

This chapter presents a synthesis of practise for the application of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Psychosis and Complex Mental health. An overview structure and pathway for the organisation of Psychosis and Complex Mental Health services is detailed. We suggest this service structure provides optimal context to maximise the impact of CBT directly for patient benefit and also through indirect applied psychological activity distributed to the wider multi-disciplinary PCMH staff group involved in the pathway. The adaptations of CBT for acute in-patient and crisis care are discussed which serves as context and preparation for further focus on disorder specific CBT interventions for psychosis, personality disorder and bi-polar disorder. The reader is referred to clinically applicable underlying psychological principles and concepts, orientating towards a frame of reference with which to approach therapeutic work in the complex mental health field. Additional reading is recommended where evidence based disorder specific approaches are covered comprehensively. The overall aim is to present a coherent psychologically informed pathway approach for Psychosis and Complex Mental Health with which the reader can equip themselves to begin the design, planning and implementation of CBT within a conceptual framework that supports patients, the wider mental health staff group and therapists themselves to best effect.

The definitions of the emotions in Cicero’s Tusculan Disputations 3 which refer to magnitude are not meant to represent Stoic orthodoxy, and should not be read as direct evidence for the Stoic theory. Cicero’s aims and methods in the Tusculans led him to use non-Stoic accounts of the emotions, in order to offer a kind of consolation that is neutral between Stoic and Peripatetic theories of value. This chapter also discusses the structure of the Tusculans as a unified whole.

Chapter 6 covers the topic of bipolar disorder. Through a case vignette with topical MCQs for consolidation of learning, readers are brought through the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with bipolar disorder in manic and depressive relapses. We delineate the investigations to rule out organic causes and explore treatment options and its side effects. Topics covered include the symptoms, investigations, differential diagnoses, treatment of mania and bipolar depression including pharmacological and psychological therapies, lithium monitoring and side effects.
