This collection of papers on issues in the theory of mental
representation expresses a diversity of recent reflections on the
idea that C. D. Broad so aptly characterized in the title of his
book Mind and the World Order. An important impetus in the project
of organizing this work were the discussions I had with Keith
Lehrer while I was a Visiting Scholar in the department of
Philosophy at the University of Arizona. His encouragement and
friendship were of great value to me and I wish to express my
thanks to him here. A word of thanks too for Mike Harnish who
casually suggested the title Rerepresentation. I wish to express my
thanks to Hans Schuurmans of the Computer Center at Tilburg
University for his patient and cheerful assistance in preparing the
manuscript. Professor J. Verster of the University of Groningen
kindly provided the plates for the Ames Room figures. Thieu Kuys
helped not only with the texts but also relieved me of chores so
that I could devote more time to meeting deadlines. Barry Mildner
had a major role in the text preparation using his skills and
initiative in solving what seemed like endless technical problems.
My deepest thanks are reserved for Anti Sax whose contribution to
the project amount to a co-editorship of this volume. She
participated in every phase of its development with valuable
suggestions, prepared the indexes, and worked tirelessly to its
completion.

hurdle will be in the latter area. The technological hurdles will
be formi dable but will not limit what happens: once the basic
ideas are available, the technology will be developed. The unique
part of biotechnology will be to imagine what the possibilities
are. There was a discussion in several of the groups on the
problems of intro ducing a novel science into a social and economic
context. What biotech nologists are learning on this matter is not
novel, although that does not make it any less important or
difficult. People in the development of elec tronics and computers,
in the pharmaceutical industry, and in many other types of industry
that have grown from university research have had to face these
problems in the past. It is the old situation of having to reinvent
the wheel again and again. There is one aspect on which
biotechnology seems to have handled this inherent difficulty better
than some of our predecessor technologies: the people in the
biotechnology companies by and large take a rather academic
approach to free communication with one another at meetings such as
this and open publication of many of their basic findings in the
literature. This seems unique and certainly is different from the
experience of the recent Silicone Valley Industry, which in other
ways tries to emulate an academic environment, but not in open and
free publication."
This volume presents 25 criminal mitigation sample reports from a
wide range of issues that the criminal defense lawyers must tackle
at the pre-plea and presentence phase of litigation. The mitigation
reports serve to complement the criminal defense lawyer's advocacy
by allowing the criminal defense lawyer to approach the pre-plea or
presentence phase with a more complete understanding of the
client's psychosocial background, mental health needs, family
issues, and any and all other mitigating issues. The goal is to
humanize the client so that the prosecutor and judge can identify
with the traumas and challenges that the client has suffered to
allow for greater empathy and justice.
This is a case book of examples essential for the novice and
seasoned social worker who wishes to gain a better understanding of
psychosocial evaluations through examples of forensic completed
cases.
This book is an essential companion to any criminal or immigration
lawyer who wishes to better advocate for his client by humanizing
the individual and presenting important psychosocial details from
the client's life, which will also impact on the factual analysis
of the case. (Revised 5th Edition) Both experienced and novice
lawyers will glean important insights into criterion to consider
for pre-sentence memorandum of law, all immigration cases,
mitigation factors, challenges posed by difficult clients,
heuristics and biases in the judicial system, the benefits of
mitigation consultation, factual analysis, and related matters in
the advocacy process. Ultimately, this book will fill in the gaps
left out in law school, such that the lawyer will more accurately
understand his client's needs, and the lawyer will be equipped with
the tools to proceed in a professional manner.
