by 孟倫 2018/03/27
Open your mind and be a free man! Five female TED speeches, let you from these female stories to reflect, live outside the framework of life!
Only when we see the possibility of other options can we live outside the framework of life, explore the different aspects of life, be a free man!
To share five women with you TED TALK speech, explore different women's life experience, see how they in the understanding and dialectical feminist thought, dialogue with themselves, live as they want to become people, how to counter the injustice caused by race, sex, with their own power, for the world's obscure corner, ignite the change of shimmer To see how they face their own shortcomings, and the imperfect coexistence of their own, in a step-by-step understanding of their own process, realize that the real meaning of their own.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: We should all be feminists.
"My definition of feminism is that whether you're a man or a woman, you realize that there are many gender issues in the world and we have to deal with them." All men, men and women, we can all do better. 」
According to CNBC , the award-winning author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie published this iconic TED Talk in 2012, after being adapted to a book of the same name and a 2013-year song in Beyoncé is partially referenced in. In the speech, Adichie discussed the moment when she first heard the term "feminist" and what the label meant to her. (Extended reading: Nigerian writer adichie:"I am a feminist because we deserve a more just world")
She describes the differences between men and women, not only the physical differences between men and women, but also the differences in power, equality, privileges, and so on, as a result of gender.
"Gender-related problems represent a different way for men and women to experience the world, and" gender "is the way we experience the world, but we can change that by understanding feminism, Adichie said in a speech. 」
Kimberlécrenshaw: The "interweaving" of race and gender discrimination
"The intersection of race and gender discrimination often leads to injustice at many levels of society." "--kimberlécrenshaw
Kimberlécrenshaw, a civil rights advocate and professor at Columbia Law School, explained the term "interweaving" (intersectionality), which she first proposed in 1989.
"Years ago, I began to use the word" interweaving "to deal with the fact that many of our social justice problems, such as racism and sexism, often overlap, creating a multi-level social injustice. "In a TED speech in 2016, Crenshaw on behalf of the public power of the police against African-American violence, and the police's connection to women's violence, when you're an African-American, you're likely to suffer from unequal treatment with white women, but when we think about who is involved in these issues, No one remembers the names of these African-American women who are the victims of these problems.
The concept of "interweaving", according to the "Library of Gender Education", refers to the intersection of gender and other power relationships, such as race, ethnicity, urban and rural, and age, to create different phenomena and experiences for each individual. When we talk about sex alone, we may miss out on the discriminatory treatment of people who are at the bottom of society because of race and class. Therefore, the important core of "interweaving" is extremely, when we discuss various kinds of discrimination in society, we must discuss the oppression of gender and race, class and other different axes.
By this concept, Kimberlécrenshaw reminded the public to face up to the discrimination caused by the cross-cutting situation and should try to put forward solutions so that the society could progress towards equality.

Interweaving of
"Interweaving" emphasizes the intersection of gender and other power relationships, such as race, ethnicity, urban and rural, age, and so on, creating different phenomena and experiences of each individual.
The important core concept of "interweaving" is that when discussing various kinds of discrimination in society, it is necessary to discuss the oppression of gender and other different axes of race, class and so on.
Ashley Judd: Abuse and runaway of women in cyber bullying
"Trust in interpersonal relationships is the healing core that helps us face pain," "--ashley Judd
A year before Ashley Judd publicly demonstrated that Harvey Weinstein had sexually harassed her, she published TED Talk, accusing Silicon Valley of not being strong enough to fend off cyber-bullying that disgusted women.
"Women and the voices that support women's rights are subject to personal, economic, professional and political constraints, and we will be freer when we can curb such bullying," he said. "said Judd. She mentioned that when she was verbally abused on the internet with the words humiliating and suggestive, she tried to understand their ideas, but the posts were not returned, only to bring harm. When people abuse others with sexual cues and sexual insults, this phenomenon is a kind of bullying. (Recommended reading:"Sexual violence is not a female issue, but a human rights issue" "vagina Monologue" feminist champion Eve speech excerpt )
Sex bullying
Sexual bullying
Sprinter refers to the act of belittling, attacking, or threatening a person's sexual identity, sexual orientation, or gender identification.
British scholar Neil Duncan also pointed out in his works of research bully that the school field often appears "sexual conflict of gender conflicts", including: sexual humiliation and verbal abuse, sex-related performance banter, mock body form, criticism of sexual behavior, spreading rumors and so on.
Ashley Judd, who was verbally bullying, said she often talked to herself, I hope these messages about me are false, "because even like me, a strong feminist, a goddess with all the virtues of women (laughter), will still be in the patriarchal mind, start to review themselves." This must not be overlooked. Patriarchal society is not only composed of men. But the system in which everyone is involved, and I am one of them. 」
The actress and political activist described in detail her failure to successfully counter cyber-harassment and suggested other solutions, including improving media literacy and ending gender discrimination in technology companies. Finally, she said in her speech: "Trust is the basis of interpersonal relationships, I believe that human interaction is the core of our healing." 」
Roxane Gay: Confessions of bad Feminists
Feminism is not a curse or a cult, but it is still my answer.
The writer Roxane Gay is the author of the "Bad Feminist", in which he explores the complexities of claiming to be a feminist.
"When we talk about women's needs, we have to consider the other identities we have, we are not just women, we are people with different bodies, gender expressions, beliefs, gender, class backgrounds, abilities, etc." "He believes that it is important to build an inclusive environment that will decentralize to more social strata and no longer focus on editors, film and music producers, CEOs, and legislators," he said. Breaking the inequality in the power of the class will enable the society to make bigger and braver choices and create lasting and meaningful changes.
Roxane Gay, in his writings, stressed that even with the beginnings of differences, it doesn't matter to be the perfect feminist, she admits and embraces her imperfections and confusion, and when the society plans to label her, she uses her own thinking to define "bad feminism," a bit lame, a little biased, even a mistake, But these processes have made her more aware of her own worth. (Extended reading: unhealthy feminism!) Roxanne guy: Feminism doesn't need to be worshipped, but it's still my answer.
Feminism should be a pluralistic but mutually tolerant ideology rather than a one-way dogma, the author inspires women in the world and proudly embraces their imperfections on the road to feminism.
Arianna Huffington: How to Succeed? You should have more sleep.
"To be more productive, to find more inspiration, to have a happier life, is to sleep more." "--arianna Huffington
Arianna Huffington that "sleep deprivation" is one of the global crises of the day, and it is robbing the best ideas of smart people.
In her TED Talk, Huffington mentions that people can live more efficiently, more inspired and happier by increasing their sleep time. She shared that by sleeping well and feeling that life could inspire more and more interesting ideas, "we are facing many crises, all over the world, and on a personal level, what is good for us, happier, more grateful, more efficient, and able to do the best in our field is the power to change the world in a small way, so I urge you, Try to live in a busy life, give yourself time to close your eyes, find yourself inside, listen to your great ideas, turn off the engine, and find the power to sleep! She added jokingly: "Women will lead the way in this new revolution, this is a new feminist issue, we use sleep to gradually move to the pinnacle of change!" 」
Through these five different female life-like stories, you will find that different from the typical "success", "effort" and "perfection" of the society, try to take off the system thinking, feel your life and heart, define your own " Success and Perfection ", see others life story and open up their own thoughts, wandering in the process of thinking, to be a free man!"

如果有種執拗是必須的,希望我們都對世界保持柔軟。


The administration faces a second, bigger deadline - July 26 - to reunite about 2,000 older children who were also separated from their families at the border in the past few months. But only 56 out of about 85 children under five who are eligible for reunification will have been reunited with their parents by the Tuesday deadline.
The separations stem from Trump's "zero-tolerance" policy calling for the prosecution of all immigrants who illegally crossed into the United States at the southwest border.
"The Trump administration was ordered to reunite more than 100 children with their parents by today", Rep. Pramila Jayapal noted in a tweet on Tuesday. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar released this statement Thursday morning: "Dedicated teams at the Departments of Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, and Justice have worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of Ms. L class members". Throughout the reunification process, Sabraw has been strict on the government in his attempts to reunite the families. In the courtroom, they expressed openness to collaborating on several issues, including searching for parents who have been removed from the US and double-checking the criminal records.
Thursday's statement from federal agencies said that 12 adults had been deported and "are being contacted".
Sabraw approved on Tuesday the ACLU's suggested legal notice that will be provided to immigrant parents, which explains they have a right to be reunited and remain in the country to pursue asylum.
But my mid June, when the government admitted that more than 2,000 children had been separated while their parents were held in detention awaiting court dates, the administration came under pressure to rescind it. They said an additional 17 could also join their parents if DNA results arrived and a criminal background check on a parent was completed by day's end.
The separations - which also involve somewhere under 3,000 older children - have sparked global outrage and considerable confusion. The court has set a July 26 deadline for those children to be reunified. The human services department on July 10 said records showed the parent and child "might be us citizens". "Apply lawfully and wait your turn", the officials said.
Another 22 were found to be ineligible for reunification due to safety concerns (most often because their parents had a serious criminal record), there were worries about abuse or the adults they were supposed to be reunified with weren't their parents.
That chaos was underscored on Tuesday by the government's struggle to comply with the court order in San Diego to reunite children under the age of five with their families.
Mr Ortiz said he was separated from his three-year-old son Andre for three months and refused to go back to Guatemala unless he could take his son. Leon Fresco, a former senior Justice Department immigration lawyer, said putting ankle bracelets on migrants is a return to what the Trump administration itself has described as catch and release; ending its practice was a top priority of the labour union that represents Border Patrol agents and endorsed Trump's candidacy. Forty-six were "acknowledged by the court to be ineligible for reunification or determined by HHS, DHS and DOJ to be ineligible under court-approved criteria". "They are just using children!" he said.
On Thursday, the government will give the court a progress report on the younger children and whether it expects to meet the deadline for the older group.
"But until I have both my children with me, I don't know what I will do", she said.
Federal officials have been scrambling to reunite the children under the deadline set by Sabraw.

News about Saaphyri Windsor's apparent death was doing the rounds on the Internet for a few hours. What happened to Saaphyri? There are also rumors that the reality star faked her death. Is Saaphyri Windsor dead, or is she the victim of another celebrity death hoax? The Flavor of Love alum shut down the hoax immediately. And she has some heartfelt words for her fans and supporters who reached out to her.
Saaphyri Windsor Death Hoax
On July 1, Saaphyri Windsor's Instagram carried a shocking message. An Instagram post on her official profile stated that she was dead at 36.
"It is with a heavy heart that we say that Saaphyri has passed away. She was found today in her home unresponsive," the statement reportedly read. "Please send your prayers."
The news was reported by at least one outlet, Just Jared, shortly after that statement was posted.
A post shared by SAAPHYRI | LIP CHAP (@saaphyri)
The statement caused an immediate uproar on social media. Her fans obviously want to know what happened to the Flavor of Love star and if she's okay.
The Lip Chap maven, however, debunked this death hoax about her. The fake death statement is gone from her Instagram, and Saaphyri posted a video in its place to prove she is alive.
Saaphyri stated that her phone was hacked and the perpetrator created the death hoax about her. While she doesn't explicitly state who did it, she has her suspicions as the hacker didn't change her email address and is someone who had access to the passwords.
Saaphyri was subjected to more negativity by some social media users who accused her of faking her death. Some claimed it was a stunt to boost sales of her signature Lip Chaps. But the reality star slammed those allegations.
There was also some good that came out of this hoax. Saaphyri was overwhelmed by the love and support from her loved ones and fans.
Some of her friends apparently found out about the false death of Saaphyri through social media. Her friends went ahead and checked on her, joking that they were met by Saaphyri's "ghost" or "spirit." She had more visitors coming in to check on her as she filmed the video.
Chile who would play like this🤦🏽♀ #saaphyri pic.twitter.com/GU56sEelnL

Her friends were in the video, also confirming that it's real and current and that Saaphyri Windsor is very much alive. In the background, you can hear her friends retelling the moment they found out that Saaphyri was alive and standing in front of them.
Saaphyri was rightfully furious that a prankster would create a death hoax. She was glad that her mother doesn't go on the Internet to find out such terrifying news.
Though her friends and fans were worried unnecessarily, she was grateful for the people concerned about her. She expressed her gratitude to those who showed her love upon the news. Many also expressed their joy that the news was all a hoax and the Charm School star is fine.

The UK's financial watchdog is clamping down on payday loans, with new rules to ensure that borrowers are never forced to repay more than double the amount of their original loan.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said interest and fees will be capped at 0.8% a day, lowering the cost for most borrowers, while the total cost of a loan will be limited to 100% of the original sum. Default fees will be capped at £15 in an effort to protect people struggling to repay their debts.
The changes, which will come into force on 2 January, mean that someone borrowing £100 for 30 days will not pay more than £24 in fees and charges if they repay the loan on time.
But the Labour MP Stella Creasy, who has led the campaign against doorstep lenders, slammed the FCA plans – unchanged from an original draft published in July – as an early Christmas present to the "legal loanshark" industry.
The FCA said it did not want to drive payday lenders out of business. The regulator estimates the lenders will lose 70,000 borrowers, 7% of the total market, as a result of the changes, as they restrict less profitable loans.
In the five months since the FCA took over regulation of consumer credit, the number of loans and the amount borrowed has dropped by 35%.
But critics accused the FCA of allowing "legal loan sharks" to slip through the net. "Today's news will be welcomed as an early Christmas present for Britain's legal loansharks," said Creasy. "This cap is just £1 lower than their current charges. This is an industry where some firms are making nearly three quarters of a million pounds a week from British customers – such a high cap will do little to tackle these rip-off charges.
She said borrowers in Japan, Australia, Canada and parts of the US have better protection than UK consumers.
Debt charities gave the plans a cautious welcome, but urged the regulator to ensure that lenders did not simply change their business model to flout the rules.
She added that even under the new rules, many people will still end up repaying very high amounts when they would be better off with free debt advice from charities.
The Consumer Finance Association (CFA), which represents some of the best-known payday lenders, has said the plans will drive some firms out of business. It estimates that only four players will remain in the market: three online lenders and one high street chain. "We will inevitably see fewer people getting fewer loans from fewer lenders," said Russell Hamblin-Boone, chief executive of the CFA.
He dismissed industry claims that thousands of people would lose out as a result of tighter access to credit, saying there were "a lot of myths in this space".
According to FCA modelling, a majority of the 70,000 people who will no longer have access to payday loans will make do without getting a loan; others would borrow from family or an employer and only 2% would go to a loan shark.
The biggest online payday lender, Wonga, said it "looks forward to launching a cap-compliant product".

Dota2 Esports
Dota Dragon's Blood Season 2 Overview
Within the world of competitive video games, Valve Corporation and Riot Games have been leading the way in expanding the reach of their monster hit games — Dota 2 and League of Legends respectively. The two games are not only some of the most played games in the world of esports, but two of the most popular games in history. With multi-billion dollar companies behind them, both have been pumping as much money into other projects as possible to sustain interest in their games. Whether toys, events, or music, the games have taken on worlds of their own.
Valve broke new ground with the release of DOTA: Dragon's Blood. The animated series was an innovative piece of media for a gaming company, and was a bold attempt by Valve to attract a new wave of fans for their game. Arcane: League of Legends, however, just did it so much better. It has reached the top spot for most watched shows in several countries, and has received rave reviews. With Valve's series getting renewed for a second season, here are a few aspects Valve can work on to see the same positive reception of Arcane.
One area that Arcane received wide praise for was the impressive animation. While Dragon's Blood was certainly well animated, it didn't receive the same excitement that Riot's series did. One potential reason for why this could be the case is the fact that Riot made the bold choice to use a more experimental form of animation. While Dragon's Blood looks beautiful — like an anime — it's something people have seen a lot of before. With Arcane, though, the experimental style is so new and refreshing, you never want to take your eyes away from it. Perhaps taking a different direction in terms of the stylization of Valve's series could yield good results.
Some have stated that Arcane feels more like a kid's show in comparison to Dragon's Blood. However, this isn't a fair assessment. While Arcane does shy away from needlessly adult themes for the sake of having them the way that Dragon's Blood does, the series still boasts impressive and complex storytelling that can keep anyone engaged. All the overly gory work in Dragon's Blood did not improve the overall experience of the show, so Valve may find benefit in going with a more restricted approach similar to what Riot has shown.
While this is certainly the most objective of these comparisons, one of the weakest areas of Dragon's Blood throughout its duration is the writing. While the show definitely had a strong budget behind it, a lot of that can be taken away by the weakness of the writing. It in many cases feels cliche, is it difficult for non-Dota fans to follow along, and overall just isn't as enjoyable as Riot's product. While there definitely is potential, focusing on finding more unique angles going into the second season of Dragon's Blood's story will be very beneficial for the quality of the show.

Dear Desolation is the fourth studio album by Australian deathcore band Thy Art Is Murder. It is vocalist CJ McMahon's first album with Thy Art Is Murder since his reunion with the band in January 2017.
Thy Art Is Murder is an Australian deathcore band from Sydney that formed in 2006. The band consists of vocalist Chris "CJ" McMahon, guitarists Sean Delander and Andy Marsh, drummer Jesse Beahler and bassist Kevin Butler. Thy Art Is Murder has released four studio albums since formation.
Thy Art Is Murder and Fit For An Autopsy (who's guitarist, Will Putney recorded this album) were two of the style's best known practitioners, for their instrumental virtuosity and lyrical vitriol. Both bands sing about the coming apocalypse, mankind's faults, and feature hellaciously great riffs. At this point, with their last two records, Fit For An Autopsy have carved out a more pensive and progressive form of modern death metal that is more Gojira than Whitechapel, which Thy Art Is Murder has now countered with a much more visceral form of blackened death. You can't really dismiss them as merely deathcore anymore, as Dear Desolation shows the band has so much more to offer. I don't know or really care who is winning the post-deathcore arms race, but Thy Art Is Murder are clearly at the head of the modern death metal pack, and their latest shows they are just getting better.

Many of us have habit of not to save the data or work while working on system and lost our valuable work and time while working, as UPS shuts off automatically because of low batter. There are some software available in market which will give you indication that your system is going to shut down but they are very costly and some free ware are also available but they may contain threat of viruses that may damage your PC.
So we have described a simple circuit which will automatically hybernate your PC before UPS battery goes off. And important feature of this circuit is it will not require any software to be installed on your PC.
This circuit will also give you indication with the help of LED before preset time that you system is going to shut down. And this will give a enough time to save your work.
Initially when UPS is charge voltage at non inverting pin that is pin 3 is usually high in compare to inverting pin that is pin 2. This will make the output pin 6 of IC1 also high which in turn connected to pin 12 of IC2. Pin 12 of IC2 is known as reset pin and if this pin is made high or connected to power supply than IC2 will not work means this IC will not oscillate and counter will not start, therefore your system will work normally.
Now when your UPS battery becomes low voltage at non inverting pin 3 becomes low. When UPS battery voltage goes low below 9.5V the voltage at pin 3 becomes 3.3V which can be adjusted with the help of VR1. And now pin 2 that is inverting pin becomes high in comparison to pin 3 which will make the output pin 6 of IC1 low. And LED will glow indicating that your system is going to shut down after some time. This is again provided to pin 12 of IC2 now this time this low will on the counter of IC2 and after approx 3 minutes you system will hybernate. As pin 1 becomes high it will on the SCR and the relay.
Time period after which you system will become off can be determined by the value of the capacitor connected to its pin 9 and the resistor connected to pin 10. By increasing or decreasing the value of capacitor and resistor we can change the time delay for the period of on and off.


These conditions are horrible like getting stung by 10 bees.
For I am in pain.
The "nurses" and "doctors" are a sham.
My friend's leg had been amputated from a little injury.
I wouldn't be surprised if these nurses and doctors were mountebanks.
It's cold at night with only a thin blanket.
If I'm here any longer my toes will freeze off.
I regret signing up for this awful Gettysburg battle.
I'm an idiot for signing up for this.

Doctors back at work . . . 80 resume duty, 282 to return by monthend
Harare Bureau
At least 80 junior doctors were back at work by yesterday and another 282 are expected to join them by the beginning of next month at the latest.
Part of the incentives to get junior doctors back to work was an offer by the Higher Life Foundation (HLF) to provide medical scholarships of $5 000 a month from the beginning of next year, and yesterday the foundation said 362 of the 365 who applied had been awarded the scholarships. Any of the remaining 282 not yet back at work who join the 80 promptly will receive the scholarship for December as well.
The Health Services Board confirmed that 80 doctors had applied and signed resumption of duty forms by midday yesterday.
All central hospitals, including Harare Central Hospital, which had been incorrectly reported over the weekend by social media as closed, are operational although most continue to operate below capacity. The exception is Chitungwiza Central Hospital which now has 19 of its dismissed 20 doctors back on duty and is operating normally.
Patients seeking services at Harare Central Hospital and Chitungwiza Central Hospital were not waiting for long yesterday before being attended to, although at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals patients were being attended to but non-critical cases had long waits.
Chitungwiza Central Hospital chief executive officer, Dr Enock Mayida yesterday said 19 of the 20 doctors who had been dismissed were all reporting for work, joining the 17 consultant doctors who provide specialist services to the hospital and who never withdrew their labour. The hospital has about 60 junior and senior doctors.
Harare Central Hospital chief executive officer Dr Tinashe Dobbie dispelled rumours that his hospital had been closed owing to the doctors' strike. While it was still operating below capacity, no patients were being turned away.
Patients who routinely receive treatment at Harare Hospital confirmed that patients were still receiving medical attention from available health personnel, which includes an understrength complement of doctors.
A visit to some of the hospital's critical stations namely casualty, outpatients, intensive care unit (ICU), male and female wards, renal, neonatal, and maternity unit showed that while the number of patients receiving treatment was much lower than those normally attended to under normal circumstances, the institution never closed all its doors to the public as widely circulated on social media.
But some wards were combined at the beginning of the strike to match with the limited number of doctors reporting for duty.
One of the patients interviewed in B8 male ward, Mr Tonderai Chingani, said he was admitted last Thursday and has been receiving treatment. "When I came here I could not even talk, my blood pressure was very high and I was in a bad shape. But I have now fully recovered following the assistance I have been receiving from nurses and doctors from this ward," he said.
The ward was manned by a team of nurses and a doctor when our Harare Bureau visited.
Another patient receiving dialysis services at the hospital's renal unit confirmed that he never missed his sessions either last week or this week. "I receive my dialysis here twice every week on Mondays and Thursdays and ever since I was put on dialysis, I have been getting my sessions as scheduled," said Mr Chrispen Katsamba.
He, however, appealed to doctors to return to work saying in as much as he and other kidney patients were getting their dialysis services, they also needed the doctors to monitor progress of their treatment.
When our team visited the renal unit, all the eight working dialysis machines were occupied, with nurses manning the ward indicating that the afternoon session was equally fully booked. As of Friday, Harare Central Hospital had recorded 10 doctors who had resumed duty but latest figures were not available.
Officials from Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals could not provide the exact number of doctors who had returned for duty by end of day yesterday saying they were still compiling the figures.
Although he could not provide statistics on how many doctors have so far turned up for work, Mpilo Central Hospital chief executive officer Dr Solwayo Ngwenya said more doctors had been trickling in even after expiration of the moratorium.
No official comment could be obtained from United Bulawayo Hospitals as the CEO's mobile phone went unanswered.
HSB chairman Dr Paulinus Sikosana said although the figures were still low, more doctors keep coming back to work.
Junior doctors started reporting for work last week following a moratorium given by President Mnangagwa following the decision of the disciplinary tribunals, which had fired up to 448 junior and senior doctors for missing five days of duty without lawful excuse.
The Presidential moratorium coincided with the HLF's offer of at least $5 000 a month, a smart phone, a Vaya carpool voucher to access the hospital for up to three trips per day, free Wi-Fi at major teaching hospitals.
In addition, HLF offered an extra once-off incentive of $5 000 to doctors who make themselves available during the festive season starting yesterday, Monday 9, December 2020.
Although the junior doctors leadership was dismissive of the moritorium and scholarship offer, the doctors themselves were more open to both, hence the large number of applications for the scholarships and the accelerating drift back to work.

Review by Michael Brodsky, M.D.
A large body of research literature exists on the topic of treatments for adults with psychiatric disorders. Although this research does not always provide clear-cut answers to clinical questions, by and large one can find a published study or opinion on most topics and questions within adult psychiatry.
In the field of child psychiatry the scene is quite different. There are far fewer child psychiatrists overall, and child psychiatric researchers in particular, than there are adult psychiatrists and researchers. In adult psychiatry there are at least four major monthly journals devoted to publishing significant research findings; in child psychiatry there is one. Many basic questions pertaining to the psychiatric treatment of children and adolescents remain unanswered, or even unasked.
Thus, the editors of Pediatric Psychopharmacology faced a considerable challenge in assembling a compendium of the accumulated knowledge pertaining to the psychopharmacological treatment of children and adolescents. Three of the editors are on the faculty of the Yale Child Study Center, while the fourth is a senior scientist at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). The volume is dedicated to the memory of Donald J. Cohen, the late chairman of child psychiatry at Yale, who was a major force behind the ascension of the neurobiological perspective in child psychiatry over the past three decades.
The volume is divided into for major sections: an introductory section on the neurobiological underpinnings of current understanding of both mental illness and drug effects in the central nervous system; a lengthy section on the classes of medications and other "somatic" interventions most commonly used in child psychiatry; a section on issues and recommendations in assessment and treatment of childhood mental disorders; and a concluding section on issues in research, ethics, and epidemiology that confront contemporary child psychiatrists. More than one hundred authors contribute to the volume's 56 chapters, and the table of contents contains a virtual Who's Who of American and international academic child psychiatry. Most of the authors are the preeminent authorities on their subject matter--again a reflection of the relatively small community that constitutes academic child psychiatry.
A formal review of child psychopharmacology forms only one quarter of the volume, and one wonders if a more descriptive title would have been The Biological Basis of Child Psychiatry. The book aspires to address nearly every aspect of child psychiatric practice, covering aspects of the topic well beyond the realm of medications and their use. The breadth and depth of coverage is quite remarkable, ranging from musings on the influence of pharmaceutical companies in a chapter on prescribing practices, to detailed description of the anatomy of the bladder in a chapter on enuresis, to detailed and highly technical descriptions of neuronal migration in the forebrain in a chapter on neurological development. Detail about each of the medications in the child psychiatrists' armamentarium is extensive without becoming overwhelming. The authors do a good job of highlighting controversies and pitfalls in the field, such as the reported association between valproic acid and polycystic ovary syndrome. At a hefty 791 pages, the book appears better suited for use as a reference text to be consulted selectively rather than an overview to be read cover-to-cover in a few sittings. Additionally, the book appears to be aimed squarely at psychiatrists and associated faculty in academic settings, as few clinicians in private practice will likely appreciate the extensive content on non-clinical, basic science aspects of psychopharmacology.
A particularly valuable and unexpected feature of the book is the inclusion of more "philosophical" chapters, which consider the context and larger meanings of psychiatric medications for children. In chapters with titles such as "Psychopharmacological Treatment of Preschoolers," "Thinking About Prescribing," "Who Is Prescribing? And for Whom, How, and Why?," the authors take a step back from the raw data of clinical trials and pharmacokinetic studies to consider what the use of psychotropic medications implies about child psychiatrists, the parents and children who seek treatment, and the role of medications in society.
As with all medical textbooks, there is a significant lag time between submission of the manuscript and appearance of the work in print. Most of the research papers cited were published during or before 2001, which is an impressive feat for a book published in 2003. However, some important issues that have emerged since 2001, including the FDA's recent precautions regarding SSRI's in children, and the withdrawal of nefazodone from European markets, are not addressed in this volume. The citations and bibliographies at the end of each chapter are extensive and up-to-date. An increasingly common practice in psychiatry texts is for the most important two or three references to be marked with an asterisk, and this would have improved the utility of the reference lists.
In summary, then, Pediatric Psychopharmacology provides a well-written and nearly comprehensive guide to the biology of mental illness in children and adolescents.
The editors manage to survey the broad and sometimes contradictory corpus of literature in the field and to organize current knowledge in a reader-friendly format and sequence. The authors for the most part write in crisp and engaging prose. One wishes that they could make more conclusive statements about clinical decision-making, but the relative paucity of research in the field preclude definitive treatment strategies for many conditions. Nevertheless, the book is likely to become a landmark in the field and to set a new standard for research-driven publications in child psychiatry.
