Unmasking the Right of Publicity † DUSTIN MARLAN In the landmark 1953 case of Haelan Laboratories v. Topps Chewing Gum, Judge Jerome Frank first articulated the modern right of publicity as a transferable intellectual property right. The right of publicity has since been seen to protect the strictly commercial value of one’s “persona”—the Latin-derived word meaning the mask of an actor. Why might Judge Frank have been motivated to fashion a transferable right in the monetary value of one’s public persona distinct from the psychic harm to feelings, emotions, and dignity rooted in the individual and protected under the rubric of privacy? Judge Frank was a leading figure in the American legal realist movement known for his unique and controversial “psychoanalysis of certain legal traditions” through influential books including Law and the Modern Mind. His work drew heavily on the ideas of psychoanalytic thinkers, like Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, to describe the distorting effects of unconscious wishes and fantasies on the decision-making process of legal actors and judges.

  • Formal Thought Disorder in First-Episode Psychosis
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Comprehensive Psychiatry 70 (2016) 209–215 www.elsevier.com/locate/comppsych Formal thought disorder in first-episode psychosis Ahmet Ayera, Berna Yalınçetinb, Esra Aydınlıb, Şilay Sevilmişb, Halis Ulaşc, Tolga Binbayc, ⁎ Berna Binnur Akdedeb,c, Köksal Alptekinb,c, aManisa Psychiatric Hospital, Manisa, Turkey bDepartment of Neuroscience, Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey cDepartment of Psychiatry, Medical School of Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey Abstract Formal thought disorder (FTD) is one of the fundamental symptom clusters of schizophrenia and it was found to be the strongest predictor determining conversion from first-episode acute transient psychotic disorder to schizophrenia. Our goal in the present study was to compare a first-episode psychosis (FEP) sample to a healthy control group in relation to subtypes of FTD. Fifty six patients aged between 15 and 45 years with FEP and forty five control subjects were included in the study. All the patients were under medication for less than six weeks or drug-naive. FTD was assessed using the Thought and Language Index (TLI), which is composed of impoverishment of thought and disorganization of thought subscales. FEP patients showed significantly higher scores on the items of poverty of speech, weakening of goal, perseveration, looseness, peculiar word use, peculiar sentence construction and peculiar logic compared to controls. Poverty of speech, perseveration and peculiar word use were the significant factors differentiating FEP patients from controls when controlling for years of education, family history of psychosis and drug abuse. © 2016 Elsevier Inc.

  • Chapter 4, and 2) the “Form” of Thought
    Pridmore S. Download of Psychiatry, Chapter 6. Last modified: February, 2020. 1 CHAPTER 6 FORM OF THOUGHT Introduction In the psychiatric examination, two aspects of thought are considered: 1) “content” - abnormal the content of thought (delusions) is described in Chapter 4, and 2) the “form” of thought. Form means the “arrangement of parts”. When the “arrangement of the parts” of thought are out of order, the logical connections between the ideas are lost – the thought is difficult to follow. Disorder in the form of thought (or formal thought disorder – FTD) is frequently, for the sake of brevity, referred to as ‘thought disorder’. Theoretically, ‘thought disorder’ could refer to disordered content (delusions), but in practice it is generally used to refer to FTD. [For the sake of convenience, “flight of ideas” and “poverty of thought”, which strictly speaking are not disorders of connection, but disorders of speed or amount of thought, will also be described in the paragraphs of this chapter.] FTD is diagnostically significant, and detection is important. While many health and social services workers can give a good account of some aspects of the mental state of a patient, the assessment of FTD requires special training and experience. The general public may comment that the patient’s speech is “odd”, he/she is ‘difficult to follow’, or ‘gets off the track’. The form of thought is mainly assessed by examining the speech of the patient. It is necessary to take the conventions of conversation into account when examining ‘form’. In everyday conversation we tend to ignore changes of subject and direction; we pay more attention to content and ‘the bottom line’.

  • PATTERNS of LANGUAGE USE in MANIA by BESS SIRMON
    PATTERNS OF LANGUAGE USE IN MANIA by BESS SIRMON FJORDBAK (Under the Direction of William A. Kretzschmar, Jr.) ABSTRACT This dissertation investigated the patterns of language use in mania using corpus linguistic methodology. The data were drawn from a collection of journals composed over a twenty eight year period by an individual diagnosed with mania, yielding a Master Corpus of 242,589 words which was subjected to an array of analyses, including comparison to patterns of ‘typical’ language use as represented in the Freiberg-Brown Corpus of American English (FROWN). The Master Corpus was also compared to a reference corpus composed of journals produced by other writers for a within-genre analysis. Multiple intra-individual analyses were conducted in order to test hypotheses concerning differences in language behavior during medicated versus unmedicated conditions, manic versus non-manic writing, and more versus less severe episodes of mania. A final analysis investigated changes in patterns of language use relative to variation in content and frequency of entries across early, middle, and late phases of a single manic episode. The data were analyzed with WordSmith Tools to determine patterns of word frequency and collocation, and for the derivation of keyness statistics between corpora. Results confirm all hypotheses, which postulated there would be significant differences between language as observed during manic episodes and the respective reference corpora, and likewise intra- individual differences in all the previously described experimental conditions. Corpus analysis showed sensitivity in detecting language behavior that correlated with the diagnosis of mania, and also the language effects of treatment with medication. According to the DSM-IV, clinical diagnosis of mania and other mental illnesses relies substantially upon the presence of anomalous patterns of language use in a constellation of psychological, emotional and behavioral manifestations.

"But I found out afterward that not only each book had to have a design but the whole output or sum of an artist's work had to have a design." In the following pages I have sought to illuminate that larger design of Faulkner's art by placing the whole canon within successive frames of thought provided by various sources, influences, and affinities: Holy Writ, music, biopsychology, religion, Freud/Marx, William James. In the end, I hope these essays may thereby contribute toward revealing in Faulkner's work what Henry James, in "The Figure in the Carpet," spoke of as "the primal plan; some thing like a complex figure in a Persian carpet .... It's the very string . .my pearls are strung upon.... It stretches ... from book to book." I wish to acknowledge my debt to William J.

Ayu Saraswati ________________________________ Dr. Adrianne Kunkel Date Defended: July 18, 2011 The Dissertation Committee for Milton W. Wendland certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: REAL, TRULY LIVE PLACES: NOTES TOWARD THE QUEER UNCANNY ________________________________ Chairperson: Dr. Ann Schofield ________________________________ Chairperson: Dr. Kathryn Conrad Date approved: July 18, 2011 ii Abstract This dissertation problematizes contemporary ideas of epistemological dependability and advances queer theory’s critique of heteronormativity by reading the psychoanalytic concept of the uncanny in conjunction with the critical concept of the queer to produce the queer uncanny. The first chapter analyzes the The Wizard of Oz (1939) and introduces the disruptive interpretive potential of the queer uncanny in several of its manifestations: the compulsion to repeat, doubling, and dislogic. The second chapter focuses on the novel Mysterious Skin (Scott Heim) and of redemption in light of childhood sexual molestation, demonstrates the ability of the queer uncanny to broaden available interpretative ranges vis-à- vis cultural discourses surrounding traumatic events like child sexual abuse. The final chapter applies the lens of the queer uncanny to a municipal domestic partnership registry ordinance that by its own terms provides no rights to registrants but which upon further analysis turns out to offer evidence of the performative potential of the queer uncanny.
