In this reply to Johnson, it is suggested that her response to my paper is largely on ideological grounds. Johnson totally ignores the theoretical and empirical basis for the definition of mental illness that is used. She appears not to have read my paper carefully, for all the issues she raises have been dealt with in the paper. She does not seem to comprehend the problematic aspects of both feminist and traditional theory. Johnson does not appear to understand that traditional therapists do not blame the victim and that they also see the therapeutic process as resulting in maturation and growth. Her ideology also apparently makes her unable to see that she and I are in substantial agreement on many issues regarding the role of women.

Two of Gove's points are given major consideration. First, his precise definition of mental illness is criticized because it excludes diagnostic groups comprised largely of males (personality disorders and substance abusers). Second, Gove's analysis of the value of traditional versus nontraditional therapy for women is challenged and support is offered for the role of feminist therapy. It is recommended that the relationship between sex roles and emotional problems be examined and that less emphasis be given to demonstrating that one sex has more problems than the other.

This article examines the crucial role of countertransference in the diagnosis and treatment of those with a psychopathic personality structure. The disturbing emotions aroused in the therapist are evoked via the autonomic nervous system. Violence provokes a sympathetic reaction, perverse sexuality a parasympathetic response; in each case this is at largely unconscious level and thus all the more powerful. The impact on the therapeutic process is then examined both at an individual and an institutional level. My definition of a psychopath is "someone who brings out the worst in me".

Through a broad discussion on the full monumental program at Naranjo during the reigns of Lady Six Sky and her son K'ak Tiliw Chan Chaak, this article provides new information about the role of women in Late Classic Maya civilization (AD 600-900). A detailed exploration of the distinct trends in the monumental program from 682-741 AD supports the primary argument for Lady Sky Six’s underlying importance in ritual representation. The author finds considerable evidence that suggests the transfer of power from mother to son during the latter years of Lady Sky Six. A concluding discussion of Naranjo focuses on spatial analysis of the monuments spread across the site core in relation to dual-gendered ritual space, as well as contrasting martial and mythological imagery.

Since the revelation was revealed to our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, for the first time in the cave of Hira. The woman was not in isolation from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and she was not excluded throughout the bright Islamic history from the initiative or participating in the da'wah march with all its events, and if we follow the role of women from the beginning of the revelation, we glimpse it clearly and without ambiguity. Prominent and without illusions, he, may God bless him and grant him peace, returned from the cave of Hira, afraid of what he saw. She patted his shoulder, and looked forward to the good from what he saw, so that he relieved his fear of security and tranquility, seeking with her cousin - Waraqah ibn Nawfal - to trust her husband from what he saw and increase him confidence and assurance, and by that she would be the first person to unite God after Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). She then takes the burden of the message in a way the history of a woman had never known before. These and other reasons preferred to write about a topic related to migration, which is: (The role of women in the success of migration during the Prophet's era). And this research also dealt with the definition of migration and the statement of the role of women in all stages of the prophetic migration and a conclusion and finally the researcher installed the list of sources and references. And one of the most important results is that the role of women is very great in emigration during the Prophet's era, since the revelation was revealed to the continuation of the call to the message. One of the most important recommendations is to pay attention to and care for the biography of the Prophet, and work to purify the biography books and Islamic culture from false narratives.

Abstract. As the criticism of the definition of the phenotype (i.e., clinical diagnosis) represents the major focus of the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) initiative, it is somewhat surprising that discussions have not yet focused more on specific conceptual and procedural considerations of the suggested RDoC constructs, sub-constructs, and associated paradigms. We argue that we need more precise thinking as well as a conceptual and methodological discussion of RDoC domains and constructs, their interrelationships as well as their experimental operationalization and nomenclature. The present work is intended to start such a debate using fear conditioning as an example. Thereby, we aim to provide thought-provoking impulses on the role of fear conditioning in the age of RDoC as well as conceptual and methodological considerations and suggestions to guide RDoC-based fear conditioning research in the future.
