Relatedness in a global economy
Massive social changes have brought prosperity to many groups and nations. Technological developments continue to facilitate the transformation of our lives. More employees are working in teams connected technologically throughout the world. Many have participated in sometimes disconnected discussions involving managers on different continents. How we understand the dynamics of such virtual environments are challenges for workers and managers. Institutional transformation often involves a process of continuous change, which is both exciting and challenging and calls for flexibility on the part of employees and executives. Given the speed of communication, it is often hard to think about complex issues which influence decision-making. Organizational consultants, by applying systems theory, offer CEOs, managers and workers a space to think about and understand complex global issues. This book combines psychodynamic, small group and social systems theories in addressing consultations in various countries. The authors, from India, Australia, England and the United States, provide rich case material as well as theoretical background in explicating current consultations. It will appeal to executive coaches, organizational consultants, NGOs, specialists in finance and management, human relations and those interested in Third World development.

Empire of Normality
'Groundbreaking … [provides] a deep history of the invention of the \"normal\" mind as one of the most damaging and oppressive tools of capitalism. To read it is to see the world more clearly' Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes
'Argues that a radical politics of neurodiversity is necessary, not only for neurodivergent folk, but for our collective liberation' Professor Hel Spandler, editor, Asylum magazine
'A vital book that kindles the flames of a neurodivergent revolution' Beatrice Adler-Bolton, co-author of Health Communism
Neurodiversity is on the rise. Awareness and diagnoses have exploded in recent years, but we are still missing a wider understanding of how we got here and why. Beyond simplistic narratives of normativity and difference, this groundbreaking book exposes the very myth of the 'normal' brain as a product of intensified capitalism.
Exploring the rich histories of the neurodiversity and disability movements, Robert Chapman shows how the rise of capitalism created an 'empire of normality' that transformed our understanding of the body into that of a productivity machine. Neurodivergent liberation is possible – but only by challenging the deepest logics of capitalism. Empire of Normality is an essential guide to understanding the systems that shape our bodies, minds and deepest selves – and how we can undo them.
Robert Chapman is a neurodivergent philosopher who has taught at King's College London and Bristol University. They are currently Assistant Professor in Critical Neurodiversity Studies at Durham University. They blog at Psychology Today and at Critical Neurodiversity.

Chronic urban trauma
This paper sets the idea of slow violence into dialogue with trauma, to understand the practice and legitimisation of the repeated damage done to certain places through state violence. Slow violence (Nixon R (2011) Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press) describes the ‘attritional lethality’ of many contemporary effects of globalisation. While originating in environmental humanities, it has clear relevance for urban studies. After assessing accounts of the post-traumatic city, the paper draws insights from feminist psychiatry and postcolonial analysis to develop the concept of chronic urban trauma, as a psychological effect of violence involving an ongoing relational dynamic. Reporting from a three-year participatory action research project on the managed decline and disposal of social housing in a former coalmining village in north-east England, the paper discusses the temporal and place-based effects of slow violence. It argues that chronic urban trauma becomes hard-wired in place, enabling retraumatisation while also remaining open to efforts to heal and rebuild.
本文探讨慢性暴力的概念与创伤的关系，以了解通过国家暴力对某些地方造成重复损害的做法及其被合法化的过程。慢性暴力（Nixon R (2011)《慢性暴力与穷人的环保》，剑桥，麻省：哈佛大学出版社）描述了全球化的许多当代影响的“消耗性杀伤力”。它源于环境人文学科，但与城市研究有着明显的相关性。在评估了创伤后城市的情况后，本文从女权主义精神病学和后殖民分析中汲取了见解，以提出慢性城市创伤的概念，作为涉及持续关系动态的暴力的心理影响。我们的分析基于一项为期三年的参与行动研究项目，该项目涉及英格兰东北部一个前煤矿村的社会住房的管制性衰落和处置。以此为基础，本文讨论了慢性暴力的暂时性的、基于地方的影响。本文认为，慢性城市创伤会成为地方的固有现象，这使得创伤会不断重复发生，但同时也给治愈和重建留下了机会。

Inclusive leadership, leader identification and employee voice behavior: The moderating role of power distance
Inclusive leadership, a particular mode of relational leadership, has received extensive attention from scholars in recent years. Inclusive leadership may indicate a positive relationship to employee voice behavior, but there is little research on the relationship between them. Therefore, based on social identity theory, this study aims to examine the effect of inclusive leadership on employee voice behavior, the mediating role of leader identification, and the moderating role of power distance. Through the analysis of 232 valid sample data obtained from employees working in food manufacturing enterprises in China, the results demonstrate that inclusive leadership is positively related to employees’ promotive and prohibitive voice behavior; leader identification partially mediates the effect of inclusive leadership on employees’ promotive and prohibitive voice. In addition, the results also indicate that power distance not only weakens the effect of inclusive leadership on leader identification and prohibitive voice, but also weakens the effect of leader identification on prohibitive voice. The findings have enriched the research on the consequences of inclusive leadership to a certain extent, provided a new perspective for in-depth analysis on the mechanism of inclusive leadership, and theoretically deepened an understanding of the boundary conditions of inclusive leadership.

Migration and Health: A Framework for 21st Century Policy-Making
Where migration health policies exist, they operate primarily in isolation at national levels and cover only fragmented snapshots of people's movement, with few binding regional or global health protection agreements to respond to the true scope of contemporary migration [7],[8]. [...]the chasm between practice and policy--those providing health services to migrants versus those making policies about migrants' entitlements--is increasingly evident. Policies that respond to the diversity of migrant groups and their differential health risks and service access must be developed and implemented. [...]to make real advances in the protection of both individual and public health, interventions must target each stage of the migration process and reach across borders.
