It also tells her own story-of how a young girl from Mildura became a leading innovator in Australian children's television production, and a voice to be reckoned with in a tough business. As a regulator and policy maker, Dr Edgar's take-no-prisoners style won her great fans and made her bitter enemies. Dr Edgar was the first woman appointed to the Australian Broadcasting Control Board. For ten years she fought for more locally produced, first-release children's drama on...

Philosophy and Psychiatry
This groundbreaking volume of original essays presents fresh avenues of inquiry at the intersection of philosophy and psychiatry. Contributors draw from a variety of fields, including evolutionary psychiatry, phenomenology, biopsychosocial models, psychoanalysis, neuroscience, neuroethics, behavioral economics, and virtue theory. Philosophy and Psychiatry’s unique structure consists of two parts: in the first, philosophers write five lead essays with replies from psychiatrists. In the second part, this arrangement is reversed. The result is an interdisciplinary exchange that allows for direct discourse, and a volume at the forefront of defining an emerging discipline. Philosophy and Psychiatry will be of interest to professionals in philosophy and psychiatry, as well as mental health researchers and clinicians.
Enormously Improved by Death
Most people disliked Liz Ellerman, and with good reason. Perhaps her abrasive personality, and lack of consideration for others were not enough to get her killed. However many people have guilty secrets, perhaps minor, but not something they want generally known. Liz had a way of finding out about secrets - she enjoyed having power and used it to get her own way.At Peter's party, Liz very clearly shows her contempt for Molly and other women who give up a career to look after their family full time. Molly, shaken by this encounter, escapes from the party into Peter's beloved garden - only to find Liz's dead body hanging over the edge of the swimming pool.Though Molly ridicules the idea of employing a detective - 'I get a vision of a long thin blue-stocking of a woman in a deer-stalker, studying everything through a magnifying glass' - when her husband Howard is arrested she changes her mind. But Hazel is quite unlike her idea of a modern Miss Marple... Casewrap Hardcover Version
Breaking Points
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Unprecedented numbers of young people are in crisis today, and our health care systems are set up to fail them. Breaking Points explores the stories of a diverse group of American young adults experiencing psychiatric hospitalization for psychotic symptoms for the first time and documents how patients and their families make decisions about treatment after their release. Approximately half of young people refuse mental-health care after their initial hospitalization even though we know that better outcomes depend on early support for youth and families. In attempting to determine why this is the case, Neely Laurenzo Myers identifies what matters most to young people in crisis, passionately arguing that health care providers must attend not only to the medical and material dimensions of care but also to a patient's moral agency.
