Rational Suicide in the Elderly: Clinical, Ethical, and Sociocultural Aspects
by Robert E. McCue Meera BalasubramaniamThis book provides a comprehensive view of rational suicide in the elderly, a group that has nearly twice the rate of suicide when chronically ill than any other demographic. Its frame of reference does not endorse a single point-of-view about the legitimacy of rational suicide, which is evolving across societies with little guidance for geriatric mental health professionals. Instead, it serves as a resource for both those clinicians who agree that older people may rationally commit suicide and those who believe that this wish may require further assessment and treatment. The first chapters of the book provides an overview of rational suicide in the elderly, examining it through history and across cultures also addressing the special case of baby boomers. This book takes an ethical and philosophical look at whether suicide can truly be rational and whether the nearness of death in late-life adults means that suicide should be considered differently than in younger adults. Clinical criteria for rational suicide in the elderly are proposed in this book for the first time, as well as a guidelines for the psychosocial profile of an older adult who wants to commit rational suicide. Unlike any other book, this text examines the existential, psychological, and psychodynamic perspectives. A chapter on terminal mental illness and a consideration of suicide in that context and proposed interventions even without a diagnosable mental illness also plays a vital role in this book as these are key issues in within the question of suicide among the elderly. This book is the first to consider all preventative measures, including the spiritual as well as the psychotherapeutic, and pharmacologic. A commentary on modern society, aging, and rational suicide that ties all of these elements together, making this the ultimate guide for addressing suicide among the elderly.Rational Suicide in the Elderly is an excellent resource for all medical professionals with potentially suicidal patients, including geriatricians, geriatric and general psychiatrists, geriatric nurses, social workers, and public health officials.
Rational Suicide, Irrational Laws: Examining Current Approaches to Suicide in Policy and Law (American Psychology-Law Society Series)
by Susan StefanWhen should we try to prevent suicide? Should it be facilitated for some people, in some circumstances? For the last forty years, law and policy on suicide have followed two separate and distinct tracks: laws aimed at preventing suicide and, increasingly, laws aimed at facilitating it. In Rational Suicide, Irrational Laws legal scholar Susan Stefan argues that these laws co-exist because they are based on two radically disparate conceptions of the would-be suicide. This is the first book that unifies policies and laws, including constitutional law, criminal law, malpractice law, and civil commitment law, toward people who want to end their lives. Based on the author's expert understanding of mental health and legal systems, analysis of related national and international laws and policy, and surveys and interviews with more than 300 suicide-attempt survivors, doctors, lawyers, and mental health professionals, Rational Suicide, Irrational Laws exposes the counterproductive nature of current policies and laws about suicide. Stefan proposes and defends specific reforms, including increased protection of mental health professionals from liability, increased protection of suicidal people from coercive interventions, reframing medical involvement in assisted suicide, and focusing on approaches to suicidal people that help them rather than assuming suicidality is always a symptom of mental illness. Stefan compares policies and laws in different states in the U.S. and examines the policies and laws of other countries in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, including the 2015 legalization of assisted suicide in Canada. The book includes model statutes, seven in-depth studies of people whose cases presented profound ethical, legal, and policy dilemmas, and over a thousand cases interpreting rights and responsibilities relating to suicide, especially in the area of psychiatric malpractice.

Rationality: Constraints and Contexts
by Tzu-Wei Hung Timothy Joseph LaneRationality: Contexts and Constraints is an interdisciplinary reappraisal of the nature of rationality. In method, it is pluralistic, drawing upon the analytic approaches of philosophy, linguistics, neuroscience, and more. These methods guide exploration of the intersection between traditional scholarship and cutting-edge philosophical or scientific research. In this way, the book contributes to development of a suitably revised, comprehensive understanding of rationality, one that befits the 21st century, one that is adequately informed by recent investigations of science, pathology, non-human thought, emotion, and even enigmatic Chinese texts that might previously have seemed to be expressions of irrationalism.Addresses recent challenges and Identifies a direction for future research on rationalityInvestigates the relationship between rationality and mental disorders, such as delusion and depressionAssesses reasoning in artificial intelligence and nonhuman animalsReflects on ancient Chinese Philosophy and possible cultural differences in human psychology Employs philosophical reflection, along with linguistic, probabilistic, and logical techniques
Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters
by Steven Pinker'Punchy, funny and invigorating ... Pinker is the high priest of rationalism' Sunday Times'If you've ever considered taking drugs to make yourself smarter, read Rationality instead. It's cheaper, more entertaining, and more effective' Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous MindIn the twenty-first century, humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding - and at the same time appears to be losing its mind. How can a species that discovered vaccines for Covid-19 in less than a year produce so much fake news, quack cures and conspiracy theorizing?In Rationality, Pinker rejects the cynical cliché that humans are simply an irrational species - cavemen out of time fatally cursed with biases, fallacies and illusions. After all, we discovered the laws of nature, lengthened and enriched our lives and set the benchmarks for rationality itself. Instead, he explains, we think in ways that suit the low-tech contexts in which we spend most of our lives, but fail to take advantage of the powerful tools of reasoning we have built up over millennia: logic, critical thinking, probability, causal inference, and decision-making under uncertainty. These tools are not a standard part of our educational curricula, and have never been presented clearly and entertainingly in a single book - until now.Rationality matters. It leads to better choices in our lives and in the public sphere, and is the ultimate driver of social justice and moral progress. Brimming with insight and humour, Rationality will enlighten, inspire and empower.'A terrific book, much-needed for our time' Peter Singer

Rationality and Reasoning: Selected Works Of Jonathan St B T Evans (Essays in Cognitive Psychology)
by Jonathon St. Evans David E. OverThis book addresses an apparent paradox in the psychology of thinking. On the one hand, human beings are a highly successful species. On the other, intelligent adults are known to exhibit numerous errors and biases in laboratory studies of reasoning and decision making. There has been much debate among both philosophers and psychologists about the implications of such studies for human rationality. The authors argue that this debate is marked by a confusion between two distinct notions: (a) personal rationality (rationality1Evans and Over argue that people have a high degree of rationality1 but only a limited capacity for rationality2. The book re-interprets the psychological literature on reasoning and decision making, showing that many normative errors, by abstract standards, reflect the operation of processes that would normally help to achieve ordinary goals. Topics discussed include relevance effects in reasoning and decision making, the influence of prior beliefs on thinking, and the argument that apparently non-logical reasoning can reflect efficient decision making. The authors also discuss the problem of deductive competence - whether people have it, and what mechanism can account for it.As the book progresses, increasing emphasis is given to the authors' dual process theory of thinking, in which a distinction between tacit and explicit cognitive systems is developed. It is argued that much of human capacity for rationality1 is invested in tacit cognitive processes, which reflect both innate mechanisms and biologically constrained learning. However, the authors go on to argue that human beings also possess an explicit thinking system, which underlies their unique - if limited - capacity to be rational.

Rationality and Scientific Lifestyle for Health (University of Tehran Science and Humanities Series)
by Ali Akbar Moosavi-MovahediThis book argues that, to be healthy, human beings should love nature and stay in balance with it as much as possible. In other words: do not unbalance nature so that your own balance is not disturbed. The best and healthiest way for human beings to live is to find balance in life and nature. In this regard, the book discusses useful, nutritious, functional foods, nutraceuticals and antioxidants, and how natural molecules, which are provided by nature, can be the best medicine for human beings. At a molecular level, stress is defined by the presence of unbalanced free radicals in the body. Most diseases – especially type 2 diabetes, which accounts for the majority of diabetics – can be traced back to this problem. Our scientific evidence indicates that type 2 diabetes isn’t just a disease resulting from sugar, but also from stress. The book seeks to promote a healthier lifestyle by considering the psychoemotional dimension of wellness. And finally, it contends that good sleep is at the root of health and happiness for humanity, and that unbalanced free radicals are expelled from the body during restful sleep.The authors hope that this book will be a helpful guide and source of peace for readers, especially given their need for inner calm during the COVID-19 pandemic, and that the suggestions provided will show them the way to a better life.

Rationality for Mortals: How People Cope with Uncertainty (Evolution and Cognition)
by Gerd GigerenzerGerd Gigerenzer's influential work examines the rationality of individuals not from the perspective of logic or probability, but from the point of view of adaptation to the real world of human behavior and interaction with the environment. Seen from this perspective, human behavior is more rational than it might otherwise appear. This work is extremely influential and has spawned an entire research program. This volume (which follows on a previous collection, Adaptive Thinking, also published by OUP) collects his most recent articles, looking at how people use "fast and frugal heuristics" to calculate probability and risk and make decisions. It includes a newly writen, substantial introduction, and the articles have been revised and updated where appropriate. This volume should appeal, like the earlier volumes, to a broad mixture of cognitive psychologists, philosophers, economists, and others who study decision making.

Rationality in Context: Unstable Virtues in an Uncertain World (Routledge Studies in Epistemology)
by Steven BlandThis book uses the psychological literature on rationality to weigh in on the recent debate between virtue epistemologists and epistemic situationists. It argues that both sides have misconstrued the literature and that an interactionist framework is needed to square epistemic theory with empirical facts about reasoning and inference. The explosion of empirical literature on human rationality has led to seismic shifts across a multitude of academic disciplines. This book considers its implications for epistemology. In particular, it critically evaluates the treatment of the rationality literature within the recent controversy between virtue epistemologists, who attempt to ground knowledge in stable epistemic virtues, and epistemic situationists, who claim that such a project is doomed by empirical evidence of widespread irrationality. It links this foundational controversy to two of the most important debates in psychology: the Rationality Wars and the person-situation debate. The book argues that both virtue theorists and epistemic situationists have misunderstood the implications of these debates, leading them to focus exclusively on personal dispositions and situational factors as two independent sources of epistemic success, failure, and improvement. A more accurate reading of the empirical literature implies that interactions between epistemic agents and their social, informational, and institutional environments are the fundamental drivers of both rational and irrational behaviour. An interactionist framework motivated by this insight conceives of epistemic virtues and vices as both responsive to and responsible for the environments in which they’re manifested and cultivated. The central aim of this book is to present and defend this novel type of virtue epistemology. Rationality in Context will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in epistemology, philosophy of science, philosophy of psychology, cognitive psychology, and social psychology.

The Rationality of Psychological Disorders: Psychobizarreness Theory
by Yacov Rofé`Rofé's book is a unique scientific contribution to the understanding of psychopathological phenomena. He does more to unravel the mystery of the underlying causes of psychological disorders than we've seen in a long time. His book The Rationality of Psychological Disorders is a `true endeavor that presents a definite challenge to the scientific community of Psychology'. This book is a must-read for scientists, mental health professionals and others who search for the logic and rationale in the irrational and bizarre.' Elizabeth F. Loftus, University of Washington, Past President, American Psychological Society. `The notion of repression is crucial to many psychological theories, but serious questions have been raised about it. Indeed, some investigators have questioned whether repression even exists. In this book, Professor Rofé offers provocative ideas concerning repression and its role in psychopathology in general. His ideas merit attention and I can highly recommend his book for both researchers and clinicians.' David S. Holmes, Chancellor and Distinguished Professor, University of Kansas.
Rationeel-emotieve therapie: Een praktische gids voor hulpverleners
by E.A.M. JacobsDeel I schetst de context waarbinnen de ret geplaatst moet worden en beschrijft de achtergronden. Ook worden de basisbegrippen uiteengezet en in verband gebracht met de filosofische uitgangspunten. In deel II wordt de methode van de ret, het abc–model, als doelgericht model voor de aanpak van psychische problemen, systematisch behandeld. De praktijkgerichte benadering staat centraal; de theoretische hoofdstukken dienen hierbij vooral als ondersteuning.In het 'Woord vooraf' maakt de psychologe Gidia Jacobs, die meer dan twintig jaar werkt met de RET–methode, duidelijk waarom deze methode haar aanspreekt. Allereerst door de 'common sense'–benadering en de combinatie van confrontatie en humor. Daarnaast waardeert zij de ret vooral om de veelomvattendheid van de theorie, die ook ruimte laat om andere theorieën, methoden en stijlen te integreren. En niet onbelangrijk: 'De mens en niet de methode staat centraal.'.

Raus aus dem Regiment der Rollenzuschreibungen: Von weiblicher Ohnmacht zu machtvollen Lösungen in Karriere, Partnerschaft und Familie
by Martina LacknerDieses Buch ist kein gewöhnlicher Ratgeber für Frauen. Es spiegelt schonungslos, was die persönliche Weiterentwicklung von Frauen in Partnerschaft, Familie und Beruf ausbremst – mit messerscharfer Analyse verborgener Wechselwirkungen und Traumata. So können Frauen vorhandene Fallen und Hemmnisse, Ängste, Schuldgefühle und weitere tiefsitzende Emotionen erkennen, um sich im Spagat zwischen Partner*in, Kind und Karriere einen Weg aus dem Gefängnis der Rollenzuschreibungen zu bahnen.Frauen sehen sich oft als Opfer des Patriarchats. Doch dass es ihnen an Bewusstsein für die eigene Macht und an Bereitschaft mangelt, sich diese zuzugestehen, dass Frauen die eigene Macht oft weder wahrnehmen noch akzeptieren, ist für die Autorin der Hauptgrund, warum Frauen in tradierten Rollen bleiben, denn Augenhöhe erfordert souveräne Eigenmacht. Dieses Buch lässt erfahrene Führungsfrauen zu Wort kommen, regt zum Nachdenken an und bietet Lösungswege aus scheinbar schwierigen Situationen. Handlungsempfehlungen für entscheidende Weichenstellungen auf dem Weg zur weiblichen Ermächtigung lassen den Leserinnen keine Rückzugsmöglichkeiten in gewohnte und trainierte Gegenargumente. Ein Buch, das sowohl zur Selbstreflektion anregt wie zur öffentlichen Diskussion.Der Inhalt• Das verborgene Mindset: Der Einfluss der Vergangenheit auf weibliche Karrieren• Am Anfang war die Herkunftsfamilie: Familienkonstellationen und ihre Bedeutung • Pubertät: Die Hormone übernehmen die Führung• Der Spagat beginnt: Partnerschaft, Mutterschaft und Karriere• Führung im Widerstreit: Diskrepanz zwischen Wunsch und Wirklichkeit

Rausch ohne Drogen: Substanzungebundene Süchte
by Dominik Batthyány Alfred PritzDie Suchtforschung hat sich bislang überwiegend mit der substanzgebundenen Abhängigkeit beschäftigt. Heute richtet sich der Blick verstärkt auf substanzungebundene Süchte – etwa Internet-, Sex-, Kauf- oder Arbeitssucht. Der hohen Anzahl an Betroffenen steht jedoch ein Mangel an Aufklärung und wissenschaftlicher Diskussion gegenüber. Das Buch diskutiert den Stand der Forschung sowie Erfahrungen mit substanzungebundenen Süchten. Weitere Schwerpunkte sind u. a. Therapie, Behandlung und Prävention sowie neurobiologische Aspekte.
