This book explores the social practice of holding each other in our identities, beginning with pregnancy and on through the life span. Lindemann argues that our identities give us our sense of how to act and how to treat others, and that the ways in which we we hold each other in them is of crucial moral importance.
O momento singular que o Mundo testemunha trouxe consigo desafios de toda ordem. O desencadeamento de medidas uniformes em todos os continentes ante o que se convencionou nominar “pandemia da COVID-19”, impôs o enfrentamento de embaraços imprevisíveis até últimos meses do ano de 2019. Retração econômica, desemprego, redução na arrecadação de tributos, sobrecarga no sistema de saúde e limitação ao direito de ir e vir foram as principais dificuldades.

The "overviews" section introduces important concepts in feminist ethical theory and contrasts that theory with the standard moral theories. The "close-ups" section looks at three topics--bioethics, violence, and the globalized economy--to help students put the theories presented in the Overviews section to practical use.
A relationship between the disciplines of psychology and medicine is evident in writings from the beginnings of recorded history. This inter action was characterized in some epochs by mutual interest and support, only to be followed by periods of relative disinterest. During the past century there have been several formal attempts to acknowledge this interdependence and to revive and codify on a more permanent basis the working relationships between practitioners and scientists from both psychology and medicine. These twentieth-century waves of interest, which have also come and gone, have been identified by such names as psychosomatic medicine and rehabilitation psychology. For a variety of...
