Notes to John

A Sunday Times Book of the Year 'A welcome antidote to the dangerous cult of overdiagnosis and the commodification of normal distress' PHILIPPA PERRY How can we reconsider the way in which we think about, treat and care for those in distress? More and more people are being diagnosed with ADHD and autism. More and more people are being diagnosed with mental disorders. Young people are being medicalised for behaviours that might be explained as entirely normal in other parts of the world. Distress has been commodified over many decades by pharmaceutical companies, the media and the psychiatric establishment. So how can we know when distress is normal and when it is something that needs to be treated? In Searching for Normal, Sami Timimi explores the political and cultural context of these phenomena and presents a deeply humane approach that looks at the person as a whole - their family context, their culture, their personal resilience - and advocates for a reframing of how we think about and treat distress.

A New Approach to Understanding Mental Health, Distress and Neurodiversity

Searching for Normal

This book offers a machine-generated literature overview of the legal and ethical considerations, in the context of technological growth, over implementing privacy and data protection measures in the last three decades. &nbsp;It showcases the expectations and challenges in mapping and operationalizing the information privacy and data protection measures. It is the second of a two-volume exploration of the narrative, wherein both volumes have consciously tried to remain both jurisdictional and technology neutral while considering a range of data protection and privacy issues. Towards that end, this volume addresses these issues at a conceptual level while dealing with the question of implementing data protection expectations in different environments. It, however, looks at the operational question of implementing the expectations, positioning itself in a context of ‘conflict’ and ‘uneasiness’ that often is assigned to the question of technology and privacy. Therefore, the volume starts with chapters on these conflicts and contradictions before moving on to articles that effectively implement data protection principles in a tech environment. The following chapter gives us a sense of how privacy and data protection issues are no longer obscure incidents and have become a part of our everyday living. The next chapter provides a snapshot of examples where technical advancements offer effective and practical solutions in implementing data protection measures to protect the privacy of individuals. However, the chapter also portrays the extent of risks that such implementation may have on individuals. At the end, the final chapter captures how often privacy and data protection questions come between technical growth and advancement.&nbsp;The first volume, titled ‘Expectations vs Realities of Information Privacy and Data Protection Measures,’ captures overarching issues about data protection and privacy; conceptualizes data protection from different perspectives and its existing debates with other rights and developments in a democratic society; provides a snapshot of developments happening in various jurisdictions and how data protection framework engages with other laws. It also broaches the critical issue of consent and how consent as a requirement has evolved and integrated with health research and other allied areas. The effective interventions by the human expert in both volumes add immense value to the machine-generated content and highlight future trends of research. The volumes are an invaluable resource for not only researchers, but also policy makers, practitioners, corporate sector, across disciplines, and anyone looking to get an idea about the evolution of privacy, data protection issues and how these issues stand with technological growth in the last three decades since 1990.

A Comprehensive Textbook

Lewis’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Comprehensive Approach to Psychiatry

The book discusses the definition of negative and cognitive symptoms and offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of their impact on patients' real-life functioning and quality of life. It covers the available assessment instruments, including those in early intervention settings, and explores possible treatments, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological.
Negative symptoms are common and pervasive in schizophrenia, significantly impacting an individual's life and serving as strong predictors of functional outcomes. However, they are often underrecognized and undertreated compared to positive symptoms. Addressing negative symptoms requires a multimodal approach. Enhancing our understanding and developing effective treatment strategies for negative symptoms are essential for improving the well-being of individuals with schizophrenia.
Cognitive dysfunctions represent a core feature of schizophrenia, present at any stage of the disease and in subjects at high risk for psychosis (UHR), and they also have a significant impact on patients' psychosocial functioning. While pharmacological treatment is modestly effective for the cognitive dimension, there is considerable evidence of the efficacy of cognitive remediation interventions on cognition and functioning.
In the volume, particular attention is given to the relationships, overlap, and independence of the two dimensions in schizophrenia. The authors explore how to disentangle the relative prevalence and role of such dimensions in patients' everyday lives and discuss the differential effectiveness of treatment options.
This book is the first effort to explore the complex relationships between negative and cognitive symptoms in a dedicated format, featuring contributions from many of the best-recognized experts in the field. It fills a gap in the existing literature and will, therefore, be a key resource for clinicians and researchers in the field.

Surrogacy is a rapidly evolving global phenomenon that raises profound legal, ethical, and social questions. This book offers a pioneering Rights-Based Pyramid Approach, balancing adults' rights through liberty, equality, and vulnerability, to secure the best interests of children at the centre. Drawing on extensive empirical research in Sri Lanka, alongside comparative analysis of India and the UK, it provides a uniquely context-sensitive perspective on how surrogacy laws can and should respond to real-world challenges. A distinctive feature of this book is its examination of how one country's laws impact surrogacy both within and beyond national borders, shaping practices, markets, and policy responses across regions. Written in clear, accessible language, the book bridges academic and practical debates, making it essential reading for students, researchers, and professionals in law, bioethics, gender studies, social policy, sociology, psychology, and public health, as well as policymakers and practitioners seeking a comprehensive yet practical guide.
