Mary Peyton first DSM was published in 1952. It contained 106 what were called ‘reactions’ which were based on a psychobiological view of mental health and contained a psychodynamic influence. Clearly articulated in the DSM was a group of disorders of psychogenic origin making up the majority of reactions contained in the manual; these were “without clearly defined physical cause or structural change in the brain.” (Sanders 2011) This was followed in 1968 by DSM-II which was similar to the first edition, with the addition of 76 disorders. Also, the word reactions was replaced by the word disorders.

  • Tipperary News Part 6
    Clonmel Advertiser. 20-4-1822 We regret having to mention a cruel and barbarous murder, attended with circumstances of great audacity, that has taken place on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer of the name of Morris, at Killemry, near Nine-Mile-House, having become obnoxious to the public disturbers, received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there. On Wednesday night last a cow of his was driven into the bog, where she perished; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog, the male servant to skin the cow and the female to assist him; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged their arms at him, and lodged several balls and slugs in his body, and then went off. This occurred about midday. No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence, even against the banditti, but that of doing his master’s business. Clonmel Advertiser 24-8-1835 Last Saturday, being the fair day at Carrick-on-Suir, and also a holiday in the Roman Catholic Church, an immense assemblage of the peasantry poured into the town at an early hour from all directions of the surrounding country. The show of cattle was was by no means inferior-but the only disposable commodity , for which a brisk demand appeared evidently conspicuous, was for Feehans brown stout.

    THE GONZAGA RECORD 1985 T h e G o n z a g a R e c o r d THE GONZAGA RECORD 1985 ^ <r Editor William Lee SJ. Gonzaga College Dublin SPONSORS We wish to thank the following for their support: The Bank of Ireland, Wilson and Hartnell, Appleby, Jewellers, The Irish Intercontinental Bank, The Allied Irish Banks, Robinson, Keefe and Devane. © G onzaga College, 1985 Designed and produced by Publications Management; Cover design by Jacques Teljeur. Typeset and printed by Brunswick Press Limited, Dublin. PREFACE I welcome this first issue of The Gonzaga Record and I congratulate Fr Lee and his associates on its production. A school annual serves many purposes: it constitutes an important record of a school’s development over many generations: it strengthens, over time, a school’s sense of identity; and it links the present pupils with those who have long since left. This, the first edition, is rightly strong on history, and though in the future the emphasis will undoubtedly shift from the past to the present, and deal equally with the large contribution made by the lay masters, this issue will certainly be seen as an important document on the origins and development of the ideals which have shaped Gonzaga. Noel Barber sj Headmaster EDITORIAL Perhaps The Gonzaga Record should have come into existence years ago. On the other hand, there is something to be said for waiting until an institution such as a school has settled down properly. For one thing, until comparatively recent years Gonzaga College was a very small school.

    The 1916 Rising and County Wexford Introduction The 1916 Rising and County Wexford pack is an introduction to County Wexford’s contribution to the uprising of that year. It offers information on many aspects: causes and context, a timeline of events, the aftermath, profiles of some local leaders, the role of women, and arts and literature inspired by the Rising, among others. Extracts from original documents of the period - letters, newspaper accounts, and witness statements are included. The selection provides a flavour of life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Ireland and in County Wexford. It is intended to encourage and enable students to embark on further study. The pack includes references for all sources quoted and offers guidance to sources and resources for further research. The 1916 Rising and County Wexford pack cannot and does not attempt to tell the story of the Rising in its entirety. Rather, it introduces the reader to the wealth of information available in primary sources - an essential starting point for all reliable research- and in books, websites and other e-sources. The pack focuses in particular on local supports - the materials in the Wexford Studies Collections located on the top floor of the County Library in Mallin St., Wexford town, and in the Wexford County Archive collections in Ardcavan, Wexford. While every effort is made here to offer as current a resource as possible, you are directed also to the Council’s website for the 2016 Commemorations, www.enniscorthy1916.ie which will be updated beyond the print date of this publication.

  • Upper Legislative Houses in North Atlantic Small Powers 1800–Present Edited by Nikolaj Bijleveld, Colin Grittner, David E
    Reforming Senates This new study of senates in small powers across the North Atlantic shows that the establishment and the reform of these upper legislative houses have followed remarkably parallel trajectories. Senate reforms emerged in the wake of deep political crises within the North Atlantic world and were influenced by the comparatively weak positions of small powers. Reformers responded to crises and constantly looked beyond borders and oceans for inspiration to keep their senates relevant. Nikolaj Bijleveld, historian, is a staff member at the University of Groningen. Colin Grittner teaches Canadian history in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and has held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of British Columbia and the University of New Brunswick. David E. Smith is a former president of the Canadian Political Science Association and the author of a number of books on the Canadian Parliament and Canadian federalism.

  • Irish Senators, 1938–1948
    14 Vocational voices or puppets of the lower house? Irish senators, 1938–1948 Martin O’Donoghue Introduction It is easy to justify the bicameral system in the abstract – the pitiably weak attempts to discredit it in some of the Presidential speeches [Éamon de Valera’s] are the best proof of that; but it is very difficult to suggest a scheme for a Second Chamber [Senate] that will function both efficiently and smoothly. – Binchy, 1936 The words of Daniel A. Binchy, University College Dublin scholar and former Irish Free State envoy to Germany, encapsulated the conundrum facing Irish advocates for a new senate in the 1930s. Many politicians and commentators desired the additional oversight offered by a second chamber, yet the govern­ ment’s actions made it clear that any effective senate would have to be different in character and composition from its predecessor. After the tumultuous final years of the state’s first upper house, the reconstituted Senate emerged in 1938 from a constitutional crusade undertaken by the state’s leader, Éamon de Valera, and his Fianna Fáil party, in power from 1932 to 1948. The clashes between de Valera and the previous Senate over issues relating to the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty and Irish sovereignty contributed significantly if not exclusively to that chamber’s demise, while the state’s new constitution (Bunreacht na hÉireann), 1937, laid out the framework for its successor (O’Sullivan 1940; Manning 1970; cf. Dorney, this volume). It is perhaps for this reason that much of the scholarship on senates in independent Ireland has focused on the more colourful (and powerful) first incar­ nation of the upper house, which had such a public confrontation with the govern­ ment in the early 1930s (O’Sullivan 1940; Byrne 2015).

Rynne BORDER STATES: DESTROYING PARTITION AND DEFENDING THE REALM, 1949-1961 James P. Rynne Advisors: Oliver P. Rafferty, S.J., D.Phil., Robert J. Savage, Ph.D. Irish Republicans found themselves at a crisis moment in 1949. Legislation enacted by each state on the island affirmed the political reality of Ireland’s partition. The Southern state declared an Irish Republic while the Northern state affirmed the continued integration of Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom. The partition of island between these two governments was reinforced by the Irish border in the 1950s as it had been for the previous three decades. The Irish Republican Army remained committed to ending the separation through force while the Northern Ireland security apparatus steadfastly safeguarded the realm against any foreign incursion or domestic insurrection. Irish Republicanism reorganized and the IRA launched a disastrously planned and under- resourced Border Campaign between 1956 and 1962.
