Wittgenstein and Contemporary Philosophy of Mind aims to reassess the work of Wittgenstein in terms of its importance to contemporary debates surrounding the philosophy of mind.The first part of this study examines Wittgenstein in the context of current views on the human mind in relation to the body and behavior. The arguments confront the views of Quine and Dennett, as well as functionalism, eliminative materialism, and the current debate about consciousness. The essays that make up the second part focus on a particular psychological concept, thinking, imagining, sensation, knowledge, and reason. This study takes a fresh look at this established thinker and demonstrates both the relevance and power of his arguments in the 21st century.
There are few things that stir up our culture more than sex,
particularly sex and children. Sexual behavior in children
represents, to far too many people, further proof of the moral
decay of our society. Any issue that provokes as strong an
emotional reaction as childhood sexuality is obviously in need of a
rational discussion. The best features of thought and reason
include their moderating influence on overheated and reaction
emotions. Consequently, this book by Betty Gordon and Carolyn
Schroeder represents a very important, and even brave, counter to
irrationality. When the Surgeon General of the United States is
forced to resign because the words "children" and "masturbation"
appear in the same sentence, you know that there is a great deal of
misunderstanding about sexuality. My own evolution as a researcher
in the area of child sexual abuse is a model of how naivete can be
corrected by knowledge. Some of my early research in sexual abuse
of children led me to realize that sexual behavior was a reliable
marker of victimization in a relatively large percentage of
children (Friedrich, Urquiza, & Beilke, 1986). My blinders to
sexuality were evident in that I had not even hypothesized that to
be the case in this early, exploratory research. When I realized
how important sexual behavior was, several colleagues and I set out
to interview parents and foster parents of sexually abused children
more specifically. These adults were routinely quite reactive to
our queries.

"Somewhere in Germany" begins a letter from a GI shortly before the
end of the Second World War. He obviously didn't know where he was,
but this is where the author grew up. He never got to finish the
letter, which was later found in the trash.
There was never a time in her young life when the author and her
family were not in some way affected by various conflicts. At first
there were political unrest, inflation, depression, and economic
hard times; then a new regime that promised hope and a better life,
but brought on intolerance, genocide and a devastating war instead.
Anxiety, fear and terror became a way of life until liberation from
an oppressive regime resulted in new hardships and shortages.
The book starts with the translation of a collection of
recollections by contemporaries, texts published in Germany in 1985
and 1995 to commemorate the fortieth and fiftieth anniversaries of
WWII, respectively, as well as memories by and about several
educators published in 2001. In the last part, the author
reminisces about her own experiences during that time.
This highly accessible work, now thoroughly revised, has shown
thousands of students and clinicians how to assess and treat
children's emotional and behavioral difficulties from a
developmental perspective. The authors provide a sound
understanding of typical development (ages 2-12) and the risk and
protective factors for psychopathology. Chapters on common
psychological disorders and family stressors describe the nature of
each problem, review evidence-based treatments, and offer
step-by-step guidelines for intervention, illustrated with helpful
case examples. A comprehensive framework for assessing children and
planning treatment is used throughout. Purchasers get access to a
Web page where they can download and print the book's 24
reproducible forms and handouts in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.
