Whilst those in healthcare might like to think that they work to
reduce stigma and social exclusion of others, this book reveals
many strategies by which healthcare professionals contribute to
increasing these conditions. Written by practitioners, some of whom
have themselves been stigmatised, the book exposes the hidden
processes of prejudice and the dogma of ideology that permeate
contemporary healthcare. Engaging with the realities of stigma
through a grassroots approach, topics covered include: * hearing *
sight * sexuality * HIV and AIDS * drug use * teenage pregnancy *
breastfeeding * old age. Stigma and Social Exclusion in Healthcare
provides practical solutions to problems, recommendations for
training and a blueprint for the future. It will prove a valuable
reference for all those wanting to deal with the issues of
stigmatisation.
In recent years mentally disordered offenders have attracted
considerable attention in the media and there has been heated
public debate as to the best treatment and prevention of
re-offending. Simultaneously there has been a significant increase
in the amount of research, specialist courses and training devoted
to this particular, high profile area of mental health care. This
is as a result of considerable public pressure to develop effective
theory and practice for diagnosing and treating this patient
group.A Sociology of the Mentally Disordered Offender provides a
concise, and most importantly, accessible guide to the main
theoretical issues from a sociological perspective as a
counterbalance to the predominant medical model. Having established
a theoretical framework through the exploration of topics such as
the relationship between crime and mental disorder the authors look
at the processes by which offenders are referred either to criminal
justice or the mental health service system, their subsequent
treatment and management, and the problem of re-offending. A final
chapter looks at ways in which care and management of these
patients may be effectively developed in the future.

An international panel of experts from diverse specialties examine
the idea of "evil" in a medical context, specifically a mental
health setting, to consider how the concept can be usefully
interpreted, and to elucidate its relationship to forensic
psychiatry. The authors challenge the belief that the concept of
"evil" plays no role in "scientific" psychiatry and is not helpful
to our understanding of aberrant human thinking and behavior. Among
the viewpoints up for debate are a consideration of organizations
as evil structures, the "medicalization" of evil, destruction as a
constructive choice, violence as a secular evil, talking about evil
when it is not supposed to exist, and the influence of evil on
forensic clinical practice. Among the highlights are a
psychological exploration of the notion of "evil" and a variety of
interesting research methods used to explore the nature of "evil."

Recent years have witnessed a growing fascination with the printed
annotations accompanying eighteenth-century texts. Previous studies
of annotation have revealed the margins as dynamic textual spaces
both shaping and shaped by diverse aesthetic, historical, and
political sensibilities. Yet previous studies have also been
restricted to notes by or for canonical figures; they have
neglected annotation's relation to developments in reading
audiences and the book trade; and they have overlooked the
interaction, even tension, between prose notes and poetry, a
tension reflecting eighteenth-century views of poetry as
aesthetically superior to prose. Annotation in Eighteenth-Century
Poetry addresses these oversights through a substantial
introduction and eleven essays analyzing the printed endnotes and
footnotes accompanying poems written or annotated between 1700 and
1830. Drawing on methods and critical developments in book history
and print culture studies, this collection explores the functions
that annotation performed on and through the printed page. By
analyzing the annotation specific to poetry, these essays clarify
the functions of notes among the other paratexts, including
illustrations, by which scholars have mapped poetry's relation to
the expanding book trade and the class-specific production of
different formats. Because the reading and writing of poetry
boasted social and pedagogical functions that predate the rise of
the note as a print technology, studying the relation of notes to
poetry also reveals how the evolving layout of the
eighteenth-century book wrought significant changes not only on
reading practices and reception, but on the techniques that
booksellers used to make new poems, steady-sellers, and antiquarian
discoveries legible to new readers. Above all, analyzing notes in
poetry volumes contributes to larger inquiries into canon formation
and the rise of literary studies as a discipline in the eighteenth
century.
