Available Information

The existing written literature on Pacific people is generally limited and available information is often incomplete, inaccurate or outdated. In many geographical locations, including the United States, literature focusing specifically on Pacific people is extremely sparse because it is often subsumed within broader coverage of people throughout the Asia-Pacific region. As such, the experiences are often trivialised. The Journal of Pacific Rim Psychology is filling gaps in contemporary psychology. It is exposing the world to the phenomenally rich and diverse cultures and people of the Pacific Rim. This is not only groundbreaking; it is also a form of social justice work. It advocates the use of a cultural lens in viewing the world and human behaviour; in this case a Pacific-culture lens that emphasises inclusivity, collectivity and reciprocity. Helping to promote a social justice movement that celebrates and honours the rich and extraordinarily diverse region of the Pacific will continue to contribute to the betterment of research, services and programming in today's diverse society. Furthermore, it will contribute to the journal's quest to become a preferred forum for the ??First People of the Pacific inside and outside of their Pacific home.

Intellectual disability is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as: ‘a significantly reduced ability to understand new or complex infor­mation and to learn and apply new skills (impaired intelligence) resulting in a reduced ability to cope independently (impaired social functioning)’, and begins before adulthood, with a lasting effect on development. People with an intellectual disability can develop any of the mental ill­nesses common to the general population; however, they are up to three times more likely to develop a mental illness. This predisposition to psy­chiatric illness can occur due to a variety of reasons, including associated genetic syndromes, brain injury, and sensory impairments. People with an intellectual disability are also more likely to have negative psychoso­cial experiences, such as deprivation, abuse, separation/loss events, low self-esteem, and financial disadvantage, and consequently the ensuing effects of these can affect their mental health. The psychiatric assessment of a person with an intellectual disability broadly covers the same as that of the general population; however, a different approach at times is needed to adapt to the individual’s com­munication skills. It may be necessary to complete history taking from a family member or carer, and an MSE may even have to be completed solely on observable behaviours. It is also more pertinent to focus on any co-existing medical conditions, such as epilepsy which is present in 25–30% of people with an intellectual disability. The WHO states that the true prevalence of intellectual disability is close to 3%. The vast majority of these people (85%) have mild intel­lectual disability defined as an IQ of 50–69 points. Many of these peo­ple can and do access mainstream services (with or without additional support). In whichever service you work, doctors and medical students will encounter people with intellectual disabilities, and an awareness of their needs is essential.

Images Of Women

Auster’s Man in the Dark includes numerous war stories that altogether contribute to its overall message about the different shape of the world if there were no wars. Most of these war stories are about the miscellaneous effective roles of women during wartime and its aftermath; their contributions to the progress of wars; their victimization as wives and captives; their sufferings as widows and laborers; and their drastic change of identity in accepting new social roles traditionally unachievable. These images of women of war make Man in the Dark a novel about women, although it literally seems not to offer any points about them. This paper is thus to argue that Auster seems to be presenting himself as a pro-feminist in this novel, which is basically about war and what causes war, in highlighting women’s roles during wartime and how their contributions have been unfairly silenced. Keywords: Auster, Man in the Dark, war, women.
