In this paper we argue in favor of the existence of two different guilt feelings: altruistic guilt (AG) and deontological guilt (DG). AG arises from having harmed, through one's own action or omission, an innocent victim, while DG arises from the transgression of an internalized norm. In most daily experiences of guilt feelings both types are present, but we argue that they are not traceable to each other and that each can be present without the other. We show that the two guilt feelings can be distinguished with reference to behavioral, cognitive, and neurophysiological aspects. Moreover, we demonstrate that they are differently related to other processes and emotions. AG is connected with pain, empathy and ToM. DG is strongly related to disgust. We briefly illustrate some implications for moral psychology and clinical psychology.

This chapter summarizes the book’s central claims and looks at paths for future work on the applied ethics of artistic creation and ethical criticism. It suggests the need for two parallel strands of inquiry: On the one hand, as the term “applied ethics” suggests, there is a need for a finer-grained understanding of both the artistic and ethical contexts of artistic creation—an understanding that will need to be informed by research across a number of fields, including anthropology, art history, and moral psychology. On the other hand, whatever details of that context are revealed by this fine-grained analysis, there will be a more abstract conceptual challenge about how to reconcile the norms of that art-historical and ethical context with those in currency in the art-historical and ethical context from which one is judging the work. So, the parallel path of inquiry is in metaethics.

South African Township

Young people throughout the world are an afterthought of policy and program interventions. In Africa, and particularly in third world nations, the irony of sloganizing youth as the cream or the future of the nation exists alongside tendencies and behaviors that impede their development towards being responsible and full citizens which rather aggravates youth underdevelopment and marginalization. It is an undisputed fact that young people have been the vanguard of liberatory struggles that resulted in dismantling colonialism and apartheid. On one hand, the chapter examines strategies adopted to overcome intergenerational poverty by using narratives (daily experiences of youth) of post-apartheid South Africa. On the other hand, the chapter highlights the uncertainties and frustrations of living in a democratic South Africa, with its failure to open up opportunities for their socio-economic growth, the apartheid discriminatory system, and survival.

The chapters in this volume have mostly been selected from papers given at a workshop and three conferences which brought together on the one hand a group of philosophers, most of whom were interested in one way or another in what has come to be known as ‘virtue ethics’—moral psychology in the wake of Aristotle—and, on the other, some developmental psychologists working, albeit in different ways, in an attachment paradigm. I organized these meetings partly because my own reading of attachment theory persuaded me there were a number of exciting points of contact between developmental psychology done this way and the kinds of questions Aristotle’s ethics raises, and which interest me; partly because almost no philosophers back then seemed even to have heard of attachment theory. This Introduction presents, inevitably through the eyes of a philosopher, what I take to be attachment theory’s main claims, and then tries to identify why philosophical moral psychologists should take it much more seriously than they have done to date—as I hope this volume itself will help them to do....

ResumenLa terapia de pareja es uno de los métodos que con frecuencia el psicólogo clínico debe implementar en su práctica debido a los altos índices de consulta que realizan sus clientes con relación a esta área particular. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar e integrar dos perspectivas complementarias de la psicología desde el campo básico y aplicado, mediante la revisión de algunos conceptos centrales de la Psicología Evolucionista y la Psicología Clínica. De acuerdo con esto, se examinan diferentes variables de interés en el marco de algunas de las interacciones características de las parejas como los intercambios positivos, el conflicto, los celos, entre otras. Por otro lado, se mencionan algunas de las características de la terapia cognitivo conductual de pareja y de la terapia conductual integrativa de pareja como una de las estrategias de intervención más efectivas para el tratamiento de las dificultades de pareja. Finalmente, se sugiere ampliar las investigaciones sobre las relaciones de pareja y sus intervenciones que incorporen las formulaciones de la Psicología Evolucionista respecto a las estrategias de atracción, retención y cambio de pareja, para lograr una comprensión más amplia de las dinámicas de las parejas y de las intervenciones efectivas para mejorar las problemáticas en esta área. Contributions from Evolutionary Psychology to Couple Therapy: Integrating basic and applied approachesAbstractCouple therapy is one of the therapeutic methods that often the clinical psychologist must implement in practice because of the high rates of consultation that clients make in relation to this particular area. This article aims to analyze and integrate two complementary perspectives of psychology, from the basic and applied field by reviewing some central concepts of Evolutionary and Clinical Psychology. Accordingly, we examine different variables of interest within the framework of the characteristic interactions of couples such as positive exchanges, conflict, jealousy, among others. On the other hand, some of the characteristics of cognitive-behavioral couple therapy and integrative behavioral couple therapy are mentioned as one of the most effective intervention strategies for treating partner difficulties. Finally, we suggest that more research on couple’s relationships and their interventions incorporating the formulations of Evolutionary Psychology regarding strategies of attraction, retention and change of couple to achieve a broader understanding of the dynamics of couples and of the interventions that can be performed to improve the problems that afflict the couples. Contribuições da Psicologia Evolutiva à Terapia Paritária: Integração de abordagens básicas e aplicadasResumoA terapia de casal é um dos métodos terapêuticos que muitas vezes o psicólogo clínico deve implementar na prática devido às altas taxas de consulta que os clientes fazem em relação a essa área específica.

Finalmente, sugere-se que mais pesquisas sobre relacionamentos de casais e suas intervenções incorporem as formulações de Psicologia Evolucionista em relação a estratégias de atração, retenção e mudança de casal para alcançar uma compreensão mais ampla da dinâmica de casais e das intervenções que podem ser feitas para melhorar os problemas que afligem os casais.

Shed Light

This paper intends to discuss the inter-religious dialogue and the Prophet’s engagement with the ‘Other’. Both dialogue and faith-based reconciliation provide a way to mankind by which the world will become peaceful place to live. In this violence torn world, reconciliation on the basis of faith is needed, so that unity may be created out of diversity. This paper argues that interfaith dialogical theory profits from a deep understanding of moral psychology and social learning theory. The paper highlights that reconciliation belongs to Abrahamic legacy, and also focuses on how Islam established and come up with advanced civilizations characterized by relatively harmonious co-existence between Muslims, Christians and Jews. It is through reconciliation that we regain our humanity. To work for reconciliation is to live and to show others what their humanity is. The paper also shed light on faith-based reconciliation in its Islamic perspective. It is this context the present paper has been drafted.

In the same vein he presses the definition of trauma as attempted murder (§§41–3), a charge which in the seriousness both of allegation and punishment is disproportionate to the activity which engendered it. In the process he distorts the legal position on wounding with intent. He treats intent as though it necessarily involved premeditation in the fullest sense. In fact, the presentation of wounding, both in Dem. 54.18–19 (Case VI) and [Dem.] 40.32 (not in this collection), as arising out of an escalating quarrel would suggest that intentional wounding was treated as attempted homicide even if it occurred in the heat of the moment. Is the speaker guilty? We may reasonably accept that witness testimony supports the claim that Simon and his gang pursued the boy through the streets. Clearly Simon is no innocent victim of violence. But there are two features of the defence which leave one dissatisfied (in the study, though possibly not in the lawcourt on the day). Instead of arguing bluntly that he at no time wounded him, the speaker is content to give us a blurred impression of a confused street fight in which everyone received some injury (§18). In view of this evasion it is difficult to resist the conclusion that Simon was actually injured (how seriously it is impossible to guess). The other suspicious feature is the presence of the speaker and the boy in the vicinity of Simon’s house on the day in question. If the retiring personality he projects is real, it is surprising to see him taking such a risk. This lends some support to Simon’s version. The interval between alleged offence and prosecution suggests that Simon has been waiting for an opportunity for revenge. Little detail emerges about Theodotos, the cause of the quarrel, in all this; the mention of the possibility of his being questioned under torture (§33) suggests that he may have been a slave. This text is also interesting for the light it casts on Athenian attitudes to homosexuality. It was common for grown males to form erotic relationships with pubescent youths (as in the present case), and this is the normal expectation for homoerotic relationships. Although by no means all Athenian writers approve of the practice, there is a broad acceptance that such desires are normal, as can be seen from the fact that the speaker’s embarrassment at the opening concerns the strength of his passion, its unseemliness for one of his age, and the situations into which it drew him, rather than the gender of the love object. Likewise, at §43 he sets his quarrel on the same level as fights over mistresses (hetairai, courtesans slave or free). Attitudes to, and the etiquette of,

Caring is the central activity for many women who care for children with disabilities and other dependent relatives and it circumscribes virtually all of the other activities they carry out. This paper will compare the daily experiences of such women (who have been participants in the author’s recent research into home-based care) with what has been written in social work literature about women who ‘care’.

This paper aims to reflect on psychological duty as a contemporary clinical practice, understanding that this type of intervention would be more appropriate in a new conduct of clinical psychology, in which the psychologist should be committed to listening and sheltering the other person wherever they are. With the attempt of presenting a panorama of today’s situation and its main demands, we elaborated a literature review about clinical psychology and human suffering, reflecting political and ethical perspectives and also defending practices that are more consistent with the current reality. Thereby, we can say that psychological duty is a contemporary clinical practice, given that it promotes changes and new possibilities for the ones with psychic demand or any kind of suffering, as it offers them an open space for being listened and understood in their pain, encouraging them to construct a new meaning to their existence in the world.

Will To Power

Nietzsche gives an important role to psychology in his revaluative project. This and the next chapter focus on those aspects that concern the explanation of action and motivation. Many commentators place ‘will to power’ at the centre of his philosophical psychology. The present chapter considers two forms this takes: one treats power as a content of motivation; the other sees will to power as a thesis about the structure of motivation. Both face similar and serious difficulties. The chapter concludes that we should reject the kinds of totalizing power-based psychology often attributed to Nietzsche.

Basic Assumptions

The discipline of psychology covers many fields under its professional umbrella (e.g., cognitive, social, clinical, neuropsychological). Too often discussions of research and theory are conducted in one field with almost no connection to any of the other fields. While this strategy creates specialization and expertise, it leaves little space for reevaluation or reexamination of basic assumptions inside a particular field. This paper wishes to challenge this tradition by creating a conversation in which participatory action research (PAR) is looked at from the perspective of clinical psychology.
