This book explores how the federal courts have addressed the two
primary federal statutory protections found in the Pregnancy
Discrimination Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act and how
law mediates conflict between workplace expectations and the
realities of pregnancy. While pregnancy discrimination has been
litigated under both, these laws establish different forms of
equality. Formal equality requires equal treatment of pregnant
women in the workplace, and substantive equality requires the
worker's needs to be accommodated by the employer. Drawing from a
unique database of 1,112 cases, Deardorff and Dahl discuss how
courts have addressed pregnancy through these two different
approaches to equality. The authors explore the implications for
gender equality and the evolution of how pregnancy and
pregnancy-related conditions in employment can be addressed by
employers.
This volume collects the invited lectures and some selected
contributions presented at the 5th International Meeting on
Clinical Pharmacology in Psychiatry, which was held 26-30 June 1988
at the University of Troms0, Norway. The 24 h of daylight at the
northernmost university in the world al lowed for long, pleasant
and productive sessions. The title of the conference as well as a
number of the topics covered represent a continuation of four
previous conferences, the first held in Chicago in 1979 and
organized by the late Earl U sdin and colleagues. The earlier
conferences have been documented in Clinical Pharmacology in
Psychiatry, edited by E. Usdin (Elsevier, New York, 1981), Clinical
Pharmacology in Psychiatry. Neuroleptic and Antidepressant
Research, edited by E. Usdin, S. G. Dahl, L. F. Gram and o.
Lingjrerde (Macmillan Publishers Ltd., London, 1981), Clinical
Pharmacology in Psychiatry. Bridging the Experimental-Therapeutic
Gap, edited by LF. Gram, E. Usdin, S.G. Dahl, P. Kragh-Sorensen, P.
L. Morselli and F. Sjoqvist (Macmillan Publishers Ltd., London,
1983), and Clinical Pharmacology in Psychiatry. Selectivity in
Psychotropic Drug Action - Promises or Problems? edited by S. G.

The Fourth International Meeting on Clinical Pharmacology in
Psychiatry was held in Bethesda, Maryland on 5-8 September 1985 and
was dedicated to the memory of Dr. Earl Usdin. Earl was one of the
organizers of the three previous meetings held in Chicago (1979),
Troms0 (1980), and Odense (1982). During the organization of the
fourth meeting Earl became ill and had to relinquish his role as
one of the principal organizers. It is safe to conclude that there
was no better, or more professional, or more efficient an organizer
of scientific meetings in the field of neuropharmacology and
psychiatry than Earl U sdin, and it was quite a task for the
remaining organizers to fill the void left when he withdrew from
this one. Those of us who have organized previous meetings with
Earl were struck by how much more difficult our work became without
him. This obviously speaks well for his subtle (and at times not so
subtle) organizational skills. Nevertheless, in Earl's memory the
organizers proceeded to invite a group of internationally renowned
neuropsychopharmacologists to address the problem of selectivity in
psychotropic drug action and to try to reconcile the amazing
advances in basic preclinical neuropsychopharmacology with the
problem of clinical specificity encountered by the psychiatrist.
This book contains the papers from invited lecturers as well as
selected contributions presented at the 6th International Meeting
on Clinical Pharmacology in Psychiatry (I.M.C.P.P.) held in Geneva,
Switzerland, 5-7 June 1991. At this meeting the basic theme of the
previous meetings in this series (Chicago 1979, Troms0 1980, Odense
1982, Bethesda 1985, Troms0 1988) was continued, namely, to bridge
the gap between experimental development and clinical reality in
psychopharmacology. After more than 25 years of intensive research
in biological psychiatry, basic understanding of the biological
mechanisms underlying major psychiatric diseases has advanced
significantly but is still far from complete. Likewise, the
hypotheses underlying the development of new psychotropics have
been refined and produced a wide spectrum of novel, yet designed
compounds. The crucial condition for all progress in this field is
reliable, informative clinical testing of new compounds. It is our
hope that this book, as a continuation of the earlier publications
in this series, provides further evidence of the ongoing
interaction between preclinical and clinical scientists, who only
together can assure progress in this exciting area of research and
clinical practice.

Hindu nationalism became a powerful societal force in India during
the 1990s. The political success of Hindu nationalism seemed to
signal the importance of religion to Indian politics. As Hindu
nationalism grew in popularity and strength it also became the
object of scholarly interest. In the post-colonial era there has
been a strong impetus to revise established knowledge of Indian
religion and society. This book attempts to show how the
revisionist tendencies of the post-colonial era were reflected in
Western scholarship on Hindu nationalism in the 1990s. One
scholarly work on Hindu nationalism from the period is being
analysed. Viewing that work in light of broader scholarly
discourses of the late 20th century, this book addresses topics
like orientalism, essentialism, social constructionism, and
modernity. The book brings about a discussion of scholarly trends
prevalent in the late 20th century and the implications of these
trends for the study of religion. The book should be of interest to
scholars, students, and others who are engaged in studies of
contemporary India or in studies of religion.
