Anti-Racism Can’t Succeed Without Advocacy
It is APA’s responsibility to advocate for anti-racist policies across the multiple levels of care in which underserved populations, particularly communities of color, are disproportionately impacted.
Guidance for Working With a Patient Who Elicits Fear in the Psychiatrist
While it is clear that most societal violence is not due to mental illness, there is conflicting evidence regarding whether mental illness itself increases violence risk.1 Nonetheless, variables associated with mental illness, particularly substance abuse, have been shown to be predictors of violence.1 As such, psychiatrists do treat individuals at risk of violence and are at times themselves at risk.
As I See It: White supremacy should be illegal
David Lowenthal Friday Aug 23, 2019 at 10:45 PM White supremacists should be illegal. And so should every other group calling for the subjugation, expulsion or destruction of any other group of American citizens or by violence changing the government itself. There’s no slippery slope here.
Submarine Discoveries in the Mediterranean
Hidden beneath the Mediterranean is a matchless collection of antiquities; but for centuries the sea has jealously watched over its treasures, allowing us no more than an occasional peep.
The Long Fight for Liberty
Of the millions of enslaved Africans in the Americas, only those in Hispaniola and Guiana mounted rebellions that brought freedom. Elsewhere, uprisings were brutally suppressed. These books chronicle two rare exceptions. Runaway Maroons in British Jamaica and Dominica gained dominion over substantial hinterlands on their islands.
As I See It: The great Iranian cash caper
By David Lowenthal A $1.7 billion bankroll will buy a lot of terror. That’s the amount President Obama agreed in mid-2015 to send Iran as they concluded their nuclear pact.
Lecture For Lechers | The Landmark
The senate’s going back to school Its rueful leader said To teach the men to curb their lusts By working through their heads. So lectures will be asked to do What habits did before When words and thoughts did have a part But also much much more. To get a sense of what’s involved We must a world recall Of “ladies” and “gentlemen,” Those old words tell it all. Here were the common models Of how to think and act The many do’s, the many don’ts Accepted as plain fact.
As I See It: The Charlottesville riot and the forces behind it
By David Lowenthal Nowhere in the streets of Charlottesville were to be found the people ultimately responsible for the riot, nor in the streets of any city or state. Hard to believe but it was the Supreme Court itself, the highest court in the land that made the riot possible.It was back in the nineteen fifties that the Supreme Court began to revolutionize our jurisprudence and re-make the country.
In Praise of Forgetting: Historical Memory and its Ironies
This SLIM book is an extended assault on the often catastrophic consequences of collective memory. Against the current mantra that nations, like individuals, need to face up to traumatic pasts, Rieff terms much remembrance toxic. As rankling recall incites retaliatory vengeance, he feels past atrocities are best forgotten. Most collective memories falsify history to justify current political agendas. Exorcising them would help peoples immured in habitual recrimination to overcome inherited animus.
As I See It: The Wall -- A better but smellier solution
By David Lowenthal Donald Trump has revived American patriotism -- pride in our country, devotion to it -- and that’s a very good thing, a much-needed thing. But feelings, however strong and right, are not enough to solve the illegal immigrant problem. We need to put American brains, American ingenuity to work on keeping illegals out and dealing with those already here.Donald Trump wants a wall to keep them out and so do many Americans. He insists Mexico will pay for it. Mexico says it won’t.
As I See It: How open should an open society be?
Freedom is undoubtedly a great blessing and it can long endure, but free societies must restrain the tendency to drive freedom to extremes that are incompatible with its own existence.How open should an open society be? Let's begin with the common sense of the subject.We'll discuss it under two heads: openness in admitting outsiders, and openness in internal toleration.
Letter to the Editor: Harvard Law School and Corporation flunk history
The Harvard Corporation has endorsed the Law School’s wish to withdraw its sheaves-of-wheat seal. The seal is now damned as derived from the family crest of the father of the School’s early benefactor, Isaac Royall, Jr., an 18th-century slave-owner. In justifying its decision, the Corporation abuses historical reasoning.
Forget & Forgive?
“America is famously ahistorical,” President Obama tells Marilynne Robinson. “That’s one of our strengths—we forget things,” he adds, noting the murderous consequences of age-old enmities elsewhere [“A Conversation in Iowa, Part Two,” NYR, November 19, 2015]. Obama was not the first president to admire amnesia.
Origins of Anthropocene awareness
Validating the Anthropocene as a new epoch and dating its start preoccupies many contributors to this journal. Awareness of anthropogenic change, rather than change itself, is my concern here. When, how and to whom did major human impacts became apparent? Some supposed Earth-reshaping effects have been actual, others illusory or exaggerated, still others conjectural or prospective.
