»Es ist eine gute Zeit für den Feminismus. Es ist auch eine gute Zeit fürs Nüchternsein.« Warum wir trinken, und warum wir es lassen sollten – ein autobiografisches Plädoyer für die Klarheit Seit Jahren geht der Alkoholkonsum hierzulande zurück, doch bei einer Gruppe steigt er: Bei jener der gebildeten, gut situierten Frauen ab 30. Seltsam, oder? Sind das nicht jene Frauen, die trotz Fünfzigstundenwoche noch Zeit für Sport finden, ihre Ernährung überwachen und Achtsamkeit zum Lebensmotto erkoren haben? Ja, genau die machen sich nach einem harten Arbeitstag als erstes eine Flasche Wein auf. Nicht wenige trinken sie leer. Eva Biringer gehörte jahrelang dazu. Sie trank zur Entspa...

Health and human services currently face a series of challenges – such as aging populations, chronic diseases and new endemics – that require highly complex responses, and take place in multiple care environments including acute medicine, chronic care facilities and the community. Accordingly, most modern health care interventions are now seen as ‘complex interventions’ – activities that contain a number of component parts with the potential for interactions between them which, when applied to the intended target population, produce a range of possible and variable outcomes. This in turn requires methodological developments that also take into account changing values and attitudes ...
»Ein Mann bekommt Schmerzmittel. Eine Frau etwas für die Nerven.« Wie weiblicher Schmerz unterschätzt, übergangen und abgewertet wird. Eine feministische Erkundung Männer sollen stark sein, Frauen sind es angeblich nicht. Dabei bekommen sie Kinder und schmerzhafte Perioden, sie leiden häufiger an chronischen Schmerzen und sind stärker von häuslicher und sexueller Gewalt betroffen. Gleichzeitig wird ihr Schmerz weniger ernst genommen und schneller ruhiggestellt: Auf einen schmerzmittelabhängigen Mann kommen gut doppelt so viele Frauen. Was müssen Frauen ertragen, und was tun sie sich selbst an? Gibt es eine spezifische Form von weiblichem Schmerz, und wenn ja, wo liegt sein Ursprun...

The present dissertation has converged the knowledge of three fundamental areas of psychology: cognitive psychology, psychobiology, and psychometrics with the purpose of improving the operational and relational definitions of the broad autism phenotype (BAP) and its measurement process. Especially, it lies essence in psychometrics and its role in reconnecting how people show certain milder autistic behaviours with a theoretical and psychometric model capable of representing an operationalization of the construct in the Spanish and English general populations and developing a new measurement tool. This book is organized into three blocks: in the theoretical framework, we define autism (and BA...
This Element addresses the question of what Shakespeare in contemporary performance is about, and whether it really is, as it may claim to be, about Shakespeare. Far from charting a smooth journey from page to stage, the work of making Shakespeare into performances often involves deflection, evasion and circumnavigation. Drawing upon the work of the Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare's Globe and the Schaubühne Berlin, About Shakespeare examines theatrical bodies, the spaces inhabited by actors and audiences, and the texts that circulate around and between them.
