Without a thorough understanding of culture and its nuances on part of the mental health service providers, alienation, stigma, and culturally based impediments rule. While concerns for diversity have been raised on numerous occasions, with increasing frequency over the past four decades, little progress has been made in implementing such concerns in clinical practice. Over two-thirds of Americans receive treatment for depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and related disorders. Comorbidity is rarely diagnosed. These trends are greatly exacerbated among members of ethnic, cultural, and linguis

Viewing Iraq from the outside is made easier by compartmentalising its people (at least the Arabs among them) into Shi'as and Sunnis. But can such broad terms, inherently resistant to accurate quantification, description and definition, ever be a useful reflection of any society? If not, are we to discard the terms 'Shi'a' and 'Sunni' in seeking to understand Iraq? Or are we to deny their relevance and ignore them when considering Iraqi society? How are we to view the common Iraqi injunction that 'we are all brothers' or that 'we have no Shi'as and Sunnis' against the fact of sectarian civil war in 2006? Are they friends or enemies? Are they united or divided; indeed, are they Iraqis or are they Shi'as and Sunnis? Fanar Haddad provides the first comprehensive examination of sectarian relations and sectarian identities in Iraq. Rather than treating the subject by recourse to broad-based categorisation, his analysis recognises the inherent ambiguity of group identity. The salience of sectarian identity and views towards self and other are neither fixed nor constant; rather, they are part of a continuously fluctuating dynamic that sees the relevance of sectarian identity advancing and receding according to context and to wider socioeconomic and political conditions. What drives the salience of sectarian identity? How are sectarian identities negotiated in relation to Iraqi national identity and what role do sectarian identities play in the social and political lives of Iraqi Sunnis and Shi'as? These are some of the questions explored in this book with a particular focus on the two most significant turning points in modern Iraqi sectarian relations: the uprisings of March 1991 and the fall of the Ba'ath in 2003. Haddad explores how sectarian identities are negotiated and seeks finally to put to rest the alarmist and reductionist accounts that seek either to portray all things Iraqi in sectarian terms or to reduce sectarian identity to irrelevance.

Hitlers Machtergreifung setzte eine Zäsur in der über 180jährigen deutsch-jüdischen Pressegeschichte. Ihr Ende kam fünf Jahre später. Nach dem Novemberpogrom von 1938 verboten die Nationalsozialisten die bis dahin erscheinenden etwa 100 jüdischen Periodika. Von 1938 bis 1943 ließen sie als einziges und letztes Mitteilungsorgan ein "Jüdisches Nachrichtenblatt" zu, das die jüdische Bevölkerung u.a. von den nächsten Zwangsmaßnahmen unterrichtete. Die Arbeit versucht Klarheit in die wirre rechtliche Situation der jüdischen Presse und der Menschen, die für sie arbeiteten, zu bringen. Daß (methodische) Willkür nicht von Beginn herrschte, die nationalsozialistische Seite sich statt dessen anfänglich einen gewissen Argumentationszwang auferlegt hat, zeigt ein Blick in Gerichtsakten und Fachorgane. Was mit der jüdischen Presse geschehen sollte, dafür gab es keinen Plan. Sie wurde vom 'Sonderreferat' des Reichskulturwalters Hinkel streng überwacht, unterlag dennoch bis 1938 - wie die nichtjüdische Presse auch - nicht der Vor-, sondern der Nachzensur. Auf die zentrale Stellung des zwiespältigen Hans Hinkel im kulturellen wie im alltäglichen jüdischen Leben geht die Arbeit ausführlich ein. Anhand von Inhaltsanalysen der vier wichtigsten und größten jüdischen Zeitungen stellt die Autorin entlang einer 'Typologie jüdischen widerständischen Verhaltens' die Frage nach der Möglichkeit geistigen Widerstands. Kurzmonographien, eine tabellarische Zusammenstellung aller auffindbarer Titel jüdischer Periodika, die während des Dritten Reichs erschienen sind, Personenverzeichnis und Kurzbiographien machen die Arbeit als Nachschlagewerk nutzbar.

Europe is in the midst of a rapid political and economic unification. What does this mean for the Jewish minority – numbering less than 2 million people and still suffering from the aftermath of the Shoah? Will the Jewish communities participate in Europe’s bold venture without risking total assimilation? Are they vibrant enough to form a new Jewish center alongside Israel and the American Jewish community, or are they hopelessly divided and on a “Road to Nowhere”? Different perspectives are predicted, relating to demographical, cultural and sociological aspects. This volume provides exciting, thorough and controversial answers by renowned scholars from Europe, Israel, North- and Latin America – many of them also committed to local Jewish community building. This book is also available in paperback.
