Think about them on purpose and consider why you might be having that thought. What is stressing you so much that you consider violence against yourself or others? Another idea is to write them down so they are taken out of your mind and placed in a permanent location. Writing them down tends to help people forget them, and they become less likely to return. You can also try distracting your mind, but your best bet for full relief of violent thoughts is to handle the stress bringing them up. If you start refusing any social plans, always complain about one thing or another, or even start aggressively criticizing your friends and acquaintances, you may just be headed for a mental breakdown. Think before you speak, and try some stress-relieving techniques to get those negative thoughts and comments to go away. Consider a class in restorative yoga , or do a little bit of meditation. Stress eating is a real thing, and so is a lack of appetite because of stress. People who are depressed frequently have no appetite, and depression is another symptom of a mental breakdown. Take a class to stop stress-eating. People who are over-stressed also have a tendency to abuse alcohol. You used to shower every night and pick out the perfect outfit for the office. Your morning routine used to involve getting up thirty minutes before you needed to leave for work just so you could make sure every hair was in place. Your best bet for combating appearance issues is to just get back into your usual morning routine. Therapy can also help, so be sure to talk to a mental health professional. There are organized people, and then there are disorganized people. More often than not, even those people that are viewed as disorganized by the organized ones are actually organized in their own way. What is a Nervous Breakdown? Substance use disorder : This disorder refers to the use of drugs legal or illegal, including alcohol that persists despite significant problems or harm related to its use. Substance dependence and substance abuse fall under this umbrella category in the DSM. Substance use disorder may be due to a pattern of compulsive and repetitive use of a drug that results in tolerance to its effects and withdrawal symptoms when use is reduced or stopped. Dissociative disorder : People who suffer severe disturbances of their self-identity, memory and general awareness of themselves and their surroundings may be classified as having these types of disorders, including depersonalization disorder or dissociative identity disorder which was previously referred to as multiple personality disorder or "split personality". Cognitive disorder : These affect cognitive abilities, including learning and memory. This category includes delirium and mild and major neurocognitive disorder previously termed dementia. Developmental disorder : These disorders initially occur in childhood. Some examples include autism spectrum disorders, oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder , and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD , which may continue into adulthood. Conduct disorder, if continuing into adulthood, may be diagnosed as antisocial personality disorder dissocial personality disorder in the ICD. Popularist labels such as psychopath or sociopath do not appear in the DSM or ICD but are linked by some to these diagnoses. Somatoform disorders may be diagnosed when there are problems that appear to originate in the body that are thought to be manifestations of a mental disorder. This includes somatization disorder and conversion disorder. There are also disorders of how a person perceives their body, such as body dysmorphic disorder. There are attempts to introduce a category of relational disorder , where the diagnosis is of a relationship rather than on any one individual in that relationship. The relationship may be between children and their parents, between couples, or others. There already exists, under the category of psychosis, a diagnosis of shared psychotic disorder where two or more individuals share a particular delusion because of their close relationship with each other. Various new types of mental disorder diagnosis are occasionally proposed. Among those controversially considered by the official committees of the diagnostic manuals include self-defeating personality disorder , sadistic personality disorder , passive-aggressive personality disorder and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The onset of psychiatric disorders usually occurs from childhood to early adulthood. Some other anxiety disorders, substance disorders and mood disorders emerge later in the mid-teens. The likely course and outcome of mental disorders vary and are dependent on numerous factors related to the disorder itself, the individual as a whole, and the social environment. Some disorders may last a brief period of time, while others may be long term in nature. All disorders can have a varied course. Long-term international studies of schizophrenia have found that over a half of individuals recover in terms of symptoms, and around a fifth to a third in terms of symptoms and functioning, with many requiring no medication. While some have serious difficulties and support needs for many years, "late" recovery is still plausible. The World Health Organization concluded that the long-term studies' findings converged with others in "relieving patients, carers and clinicians of the chronicity paradigm which dominated thinking throughout much of the 20th century. Around half of people initially diagnosed with bipolar disorder achieve symptomatic recovery no longer meeting criteria for the diagnosis within six weeks, and nearly all achieve it within two years, with nearly half regaining their prior occupational and residential status in that period. Less than half go on to experience a new episode of mania or major depression within the next two years. Some disorders may be very limited in their functional effects, while others may involve substantial disability and support needs. The degree of ability or disability may vary over time and across different life domains. Furthermore, continued disability has been linked to institutionalization , discrimination and social exclusion as well as to the inherent effects of disorders. Alternatively, functioning may be affected by the stress of having to hide a condition in work or school etc. It is also the case that, while often being characterized in purely negative terms, some mental traits or states labeled as disorders can also involve above-average

RYDER SMITH TO BE FEATURED IN THE LINCOLN CENTER THEATER PRODUCTION OF “OSLO” a new play by J.T. ROGERS directed by BARTLETT SHER PREVIEWS BEGIN THURSDAY, JUNE 16 OPENING NIGHT IS MONDAY, JULY 11 AT THE MITZI E. NEWHOUSE THEATER Lincoln Center Theater (under the direction of André Bishop) has announced that Michael Aronov, Adam Dannheisser, Jennifer Ehle, Daniel Jenkins, Dariush Kashani, Jefferson Mays, Daniel Oreskes, Henny Russell, Joseph Siravo, and T. Ryder Smith will be featured in the cast of its upcoming production of OSLO, a new play by J.T. Rogers, directed by Bartlett Sher. Commissioned by Lincoln Center Theater, OSLO begins performances Thursday, June 16 and will open Monday, July 11 at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater (150 West 65 Street). Additional casting will be announced at a later date. It’s 1993. The world watches the impossible: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat, standing together in the White House Rose Garden, signing the first ever peace agreement between Israel and the PLO. How were the negotiations kept secret? Why were they held in a castle in the middle of Norway? And who are these mysterious negotiators? A darkly comic epic, OSLO tells the true, but until now, untold story of how one young couple, Norwegian diplomat Mona Juul (to be played by Jennifer Ehle) and her husband social scientist Terje Rød-Larsen (to be played by Jefferson Mays), planned and orchestrated top-secret, high-level meetings between the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, which culminated in the signing of the historic 1993 Oslo Accords.

  • Flappers and Philosophers
    1 Redacted by Curtis A. Weyant {[email protected]} Courtesy of the Michigan State University Libraries (http://digital.lib.msu.edu/) FLAPPERS AND PHILOSOPHERS F. SCOTT FITZGERALD To Zelda Contents The Offshore Pirate The Ice Palace Head and Shoulders The Cut-Glass Bowl Bernice Bobs Her Hair Benediction 2 Dalyrimple Goes Wrong The Four Fists Flappers and Philosophers The Offshore Pirate I This unlikely story begins on a sea that was a blue dream, as colorful as blue-silk stockings, and beneath a sky as blue as the irises of children's eyes. From the western half of the sky the sun was shying little golden disks at the sea--if you gazed intently enough you could see them skip from wave tip to wave tip until they joined a broad collar of golden coin that was collecting half a mile out and would eventually be a dazzling sunset. About half-way between the Florida shore and the golden collar a white steam-yacht, very young and graceful, was riding at anchor and under a blue-and-white awning aft a yellow-haired girl reclined in a wicker settee reading The Revolt of the Angels, by Anatole France. She was about nineteen, slender and supple, with a spoiled alluring mouth and quick gray eyes full of a radiant curiosity. Her feet, stockingless, and adorned rather than clad in blue-satin slippers which swung nonchalantly from her toes, were perched on the arm of a settee adjoining the one she occupied. And as she read she intermittently regaled herself by a faint application to her tongue of a half-lemon that she held in her hand.

  • Mental Misrepresentation in Non-Human Psychopathology
    Biosemiotics (2017) 10:195–210 DOI 10.1007/s12304-017-9299-2 Mental Misrepresentation in Non-human Psychopathology Krystyna Bielecka1 & Mira Marcinów2 Received: 25 October 2016 /Accepted: 10 July 2017 /Published online: 4 August 2017 # The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract In this paper, we defend a representational approach to at least some kinds of non-human psychopathology. Mentally-ill non-human minds, in particular in delusions, obsessive-compulsive disorders and similar cognitive states, are traditionally under- stood in purely behavioral terms. In contrast, we argue that non-human mental psy- chopathology should be at least sometimes not only ascribed contentful mental repre- sentation but also understood as really having these states. To defend this view, we appeal to the interactivist account of mental representation, which is a kind of a constructive approach to meaning. We follow Mark Bickhard in assuming that only an organism – either human or non-human – capable of detecting its own misrepre- sentations is representational. However, under his autonomy-based account of biolog- ical function these minds are incapable of misrepresentations because these minds are, ex hypothesi, unable to detect error in such representations. To solve this problem, we argue that adding a historical dimension – as in Millikan’s view on mental represen- tations – to Bickhard’s account of function makes mental misrepresentation of mentally-ill minds possible. Using Bickhard’s dynamic account of function, it is possible to explain why delusions and other mental disorders can be seen as locally functional. However, an etiological dimension can further explain why misrepresenta- tions seem to be globally dysfunctional.

  • The Characterization of the Physician in Schnitzler's and Chekhov's Works
    THE PHYSICIAN IN SCHNITZLERIS AND CHEKHOV1S WORKS THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PHYSICIAN IN SCHNITZLER 'S Al''-ID CHEKHOV I S WORKS By LOVORKA IVANKA FABEK, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master Gf Arts McMaster University September 1985 MASTER OF ARTS (1985) McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PHYSICIAN IN SCHNITZLER'S AND CHEKHOV'S WORKS AUTHOR: LOVORKA IVANKA FABEK, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Gerald Chapple NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 146. ii ABSTRACT Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931) and Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) were both writers as well as physicians. The latter profession had a significant influence on their works, which is evident in the frequent use of the doctor figure in their plays and prose works. What distinguishes Schnitzler and Chekhov from other writers of the fin-de,...si~c1e, is their ability to clinically observe psycho­ logical and social problems. Sclmitzler's and Chekhov's works contain "diagnosesJl made by their doctor figure. This study examines the respective qualities of a spectrum of six major types. There are mixed, mainly positive and mainly negative types of doctor figures, ranging from the revolutionary type down to the pathetic doctor figure and the calculating type. Dealing with differences as well as with similarities, the thesis concludes by showing how the characterization of the doctor figure sh.eds light on the authors that created them. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my Supervisor, Dr. Gerald Chapple, for initially suggesting the topic of this thesis and for his guidance and advice.

A Day in the Life of Daoist Monk 1 ADELINE HERROU Abstract This article seeks to give an ethnographical description of the everyday life of an ordinary Daoist monk in China today. As it follows Yang Zhixiang from early morning until night, it deals with his current main occupations—in this case, work on the glyphomancical dissection of the Dao 道 character, fate calculation for young fiancés, preparation for a healing ritual, the ascetic practice of self­ perfecting through refinement, etc. — as well as more basic scenes such as meals, gestures and postures, various domestic tasks, and the reconstruction of the temple. It also relates fragments of his own past life and implicitly outlines the path that led him to the monastery and the vocation that made him become a monk.

  • A PSYCHOBIOGRAPHICAL STUDY of TEMPLE GRANDIN a Thesis
    A PSYCHOBIOGRAPHICAL STUDY OF TEMPLE GRANDIN A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Rhodes University Nicola Wannenburg 603w1753 Supervisor: Professor Roelf van Niekerk December 2016 ABSTRACT Psychobiographical researchers methodically formulate life histories and interpret them by means of psychological theories. The research typically focuses on exemplary and completed lives. The cases that are studied are usually of individuals who are of particular interest to society as a result of excelling in their particular fields, be they to benefit or detriment of society. Temple Grandin was chosen for this study using purposive sampling as she meets the psychobiographical requirement of being an extraordinary individual. As an individual with autism Grandin faced many challenges growing up. Despite a difficult and absent beginning, Grandin developed into a stable and scientifically creative adult who contributes to society. She excels as an animal scientist and designer of humane livestock handling facilities and has an international reputation for her contribution to the livestock industry and animal welfare. The primary aim of this study is to describe and interpret the life of Temple Grandin through Erikson’s (1950/1973) theory of psychosocial development. A mixed method approach (Yin, 2006) was employed for the conduction of this study. The overarching data processing and analysis guidelines for this study were provided by Miles and Huberman (1994, 2002a, 2002b). The conduction of the processing and analysis of data was aided by Alexander’s (1988, 1990) method of asking the data questions as well as an integration of Yin’s (2014) time series analysis with Erikson’s (1950/1973) triple bookkeeping approach.
