  • Endelig Nytt Album Fra Marina Diamandis
    Marina - Love+Fear 04-04-2019 17:01 CEST Endelig nytt album fra Marina Diamandis Multi-platina selgende pop innovatør MARINA utgir endelig første del, Love, av sitt fjerde studioalbum, Love+Fear, i dag via Atlantic Records. Love+Fear er to samlinger på åtte spor hver som til sammen blir et album og markerer MARINAs oppfølgerplate til kritikerroste, Froot, fra 2015. Love+Fear kan beskrives som en både frodig, levende og kraftfull representasjon av de to viktigste emosjonelle drivkreftene bak menneskelige responser. Love er fylt med en lengsel etter å nyte livet (Handmade Heaven) og et ønske om å forene (To Be Human). Fear utforsker temaer temaer som er hardere å jobbe gjennom og forstå, som formål (Life is Strange), usikkerhet i kjærlighet (Believe in Love og Soft to be Strong), og store endringer i vår sosiale bevissthet knyttet til systematisk kvinnehat og seksuelt misbruk utført av mektige figurer i media (Karma). Som en kompanjong til Love, viser og utforsker disse ideene de polariserende sidene ved menneskets natur. MARINA har brukt de siste to årene på å skrive og spille inn det nye albumet på tvers av London, Sverige og Los Angeles med anerkjente navn som Noonie Bao, Sam De Jong, Oscar Görres, Camille Purcell, Justin Parker og Joe Janiak. Om albumet forklarer MARINA,"My songwriting has always been inspired and shaped by traditional storytelling and social shifts in our culture. As a society we have experienced such major social change in the past three years - politically, digitally and psychologically. Love+Fear reflects this." Den siste delen av Love+Fear albumet blir utgitt 26.

  • Themes of SM Expression Charles Moser and Peggy J
    3 Themes of SM Expression Charles Moser and Peggy J. Kleinplatz SM (also known as BDSM, i.e. Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission and Sadism and Masochism) is a term used to describe a variety of sexual behaviours that have an implicit or explicit power differential as a significant aspect of the erotic interaction. Of course there are other sexual interactions or behaviours that have an implicit power differential, but that power differential is not generally eroticized in non-SM interactions. Sex partners may even disagree if a particular interaction or relationship constitutes SM, each seeing it from a different perspective. The boundaries between SM and non-SM interactions are not always clear, which is why self-definition is crucial for understanding SM phenomena. Colloquially the set of SM inclinations has been referred to deris- ively as an interest in ‘whips and chains’, but is much more complex and varied than suggested by that description. Practitioners use both numerous academic terms and jargon (e.g. S/M, B/D, WIITWD [i.e. what it is that we do], D/s, Bondage, Leather, Kink) to refer to these interests. They have been labelled controversially in the psychiatric liter- ature with diagnostic labels such as paraphilia, sadomasochism, sexual sadism, sexual masochism and fetishism. There is no evidence that the descriptions in the psychiatric literature resemble the individuals who self-identify as SM participants or that SM participants understand the implications of adopting the psychiatric terms as self-descriptors. Judging from the proliferation of SM themes in sexually explicit media, references in mainstream books, film and the news media, as well as academic studies and support groups, it is reasonable to conclude that SM is an important sexual interest for a significant number of indi- viduals.

  • Use of DSM Paraphilia Diagnoses in Sexually Violent Predator Commitment Cases
    SPECIAL ARTICLE Use of DSM Paraphilia Diagnoses in Sexually Violent Predator Commitment Cases Michael B. First, MD, and Robert L. Halon, PhD There is legitimate concern in the psychiatric community about the constitutionality of sexually violent predator (SVP) commitment statutes. Such constitutionality depends on the requirement that a sexual offender have a mental abnormality that makes him commit violent predatory sex offenses and reflects almost exclusively a concern for public safety, with little regard for notions of clinical sensibility or diagnostic accuracy. However, given that mental health experts’ diagnostic opinions are, and will continue to be, important to the triers of fact in regard to the application of the SVP statutes, we describe valid means of making a DSM-IV-TR paraphilic diagnosis. We also provide a three-step approach for the judicious application of the diagnosis in the context of SVP commitment evaluations that emphasizes the importance of not making a paraphilia diagnosis based solely on the sexual offenses themselves. Finally, we discuss the appropriate use of a paraphilia NOS diagnosis in SVP cases. J Am Acad Psychiatry Law 36:443–54, 2008 In 1990, the state of Washington passed the first Despite several challenges to the constitutionality sexually violent predator (SVP) involuntary commit- of SVP statutes, the U.S. Supreme Court in two sep- ment statute, which was designed to allow for the arate rulings (Kansas v.

  • List of Paraphilias
    List of paraphilias Paraphilias are sexual interests in objects, situations, or individuals that are atypical. The American Psychiatric Association, in its Paraphilia Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM), draws a Specialty Psychiatry distinction between paraphilias (which it describes as atypical sexual interests) and paraphilic disorders (which additionally require the experience of distress or impairment in functioning).[1][2] Some paraphilias have more than one term to describe them, and some terms overlap with others. Paraphilias without DSM codes listed come under DSM 302.9, "Paraphilia NOS (Not Otherwise Specified)". In his 2008 book on sexual pathologies, Anil Aggrawal compiled a list of 547 terms describing paraphilic sexual interests. He cautioned, however, that "not all these paraphilias have necessarily been seen in clinical setups. This may not be because they do not exist, but because they are so innocuous they are never brought to the notice of clinicians or dismissed by them. Like allergies, sexual arousal may occur from anything under the sun, including the sun."[3] Most of the following names for paraphilias, constructed in the nineteenth and especially twentieth centuries from Greek and Latin roots (see List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes), are used in medical contexts only. Contents A · B · C · D · E · F · G · H · I · J · K · L · M · N · O · P · Q · R · S · T · U · V · W · X · Y · Z Paraphilias A Paraphilia Focus of erotic interest Abasiophilia People with impaired mobility[4] Acrotomophilia

  • Neuronal Dynamics of Grapheme-Color Synesthesia A
    Neuronal Dynamics of Grapheme-Color Synesthesia A Thesis Presented to The Interdivisional Committee for Biology and Psychology Reed College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts Christian Joseph Graulty May 2015 Approved for the Committee (Biology & Psychology) Enriqueta Canseco-Gonzalez Preface This is an ad hoc Biology-Psychology thesis, and consequently the introduction incorporates concepts from both disciplines. It also provides a considerable amount of information on the phenomenon of synesthesia in general. For the reader who would like to focus specifically on the experimental section of this document, I include a “Background Summary” section that should allow anyone to understand the study without needing to read the full introduction. Rather, if you start at section 1.4, findings from previous studies and the overall aim of this research should be fairly straightforward. I do not have synesthesia myself, but I have always been interested in it. Sensory systems are the only portals through which our conscious selves can gain information about the external world. But more and more, neuroscience research shows that our senses are unreliable narrators, merely secondary sources providing us with pre- processed results as opposed to completely raw data. This is a very good thing. It makes our sensory systems more efficient for survival- fast processing is what saves you from being run over or eaten every day. But the minor cost of this efficient processing is that we are doomed to a life of visual illusions and existential crises in which we wonder whether we’re all in The Matrix, or everything is just a dream.
