Delusions in Context
This open access book offers an exploration of delusions--unusual beliefs that can significantly disrupt people's lives. Experts from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, including lived experience, clinical psychiatry, philosophy, clinical psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, discuss how delusions emerge, why it is so difficult to give them up, what their effects are, how they are managed, and what we can do to reduce the stigma associated with them. Taken as a whole, the book proposes that there is continuity between delusions and everyday beliefs. It is essential reading for researchers working on delusions and mental health more generally, and will also appeal to anybody who wants to gain a better understanding of what happens when the way we experience and interpret the world is different from that of the people around us.

Costi sociali e aspetti farmacoeconomici = Social costs and pharmacoeconomic aspects
La sclerosi multipla (SM) rappresenta la seconda causa di disabilità neurologica nel giovane adulto, dopo i traumi cranici. Negli ultimi anni, l'introduzione di nuovi farmaci, potenzialmente in grado di modificare il decorso della malattia, ha richiamato l'attenzione sui costi sociali della SM e sugli aspetti farmaco-economici. Si sono avanzati, da un lato, timori che il costo dei nuovi farmaci costituisca un onere insostenibile per il sistema sanitario. Dall'altro lato, recenti studi economici hanno sottolineato l'importanza di una valutazione inserita in una prospettiva più ampia, considerando la possibilità che le nuove terapie possano ridurre i costi sociali di malattia nel lungo termine, ritardando o evitando lo sviluppo di invalidità. Questo volume rivede la letteratura internazionale sui costi sociali della SM, e gli studi farmaco-economici sui nuovi farmaci per la malattia.

Life Conduct in Modern Times : Karl Jaspers and Psychoanalysis
This award-winning book investigates the critique of psychoanalysis formulated by the psychiatrist and philosopher Karl Jaspers (1883-1969) over a period of five decades. His arguments against Freud and his followers are examined from systematic perspectives. The study traces the medico-historical roots of Jasper’s criticism of psychoanalysis and then places it within the framework of scientific theory before devoting itself extensively to medico-ethical aspects of the controversy, which are ultimately treated in terms of a history of mentalities. According to this view, Jasper’s student Hannah Arendt saw to it that the philosopher be made aware of the socio-cultural impact which psychoanalysis was beginning to have in the U.S.A.
