An analysis of duration of unemployment:1967-1979

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the duration of unemployment during the period 1967 - 1979 using the concept of a stationary register. The estimate of duration is obtained using U=iD where U is stock of unemployed, i is total inflows entering the pool of unemployed and D is duration of unemployment. Both ratio and regression estimates suggest that duration of unemployment has increased from 1.90 months to 4.5 months and this increase cannot be explained entirely by search-turnover views

An anxious profession in an age of fear

This paper proposes that some practices and trends in mental health care may be considered as defensive responses to collective anxiety and fear. On a larger scale similar dynamics occur around fear of terrorism. Collectively and individually we are pulled by the defensive forces and dynamics associated with anxiety. This can in part explain the polarization that occurs around issues of definition and response to mental illness. Fear and anxiety push services towards simplistic viewpoints and futile practices. The capacity to view things from the perspective of others, embracing explanatory and therapeutic pluralism and adopting a humble attitude, may be helpful in enabling anxiety to be channelled productively
