Summary
The term “neurosis” was introduced in 1769 by Scottish physician William Cullen to refer to presumed nervous disorders in the absence of discernible neurologic defects. It gained wide currency during the first half of the twentieth century largely through the influence of Freud. Today, “neurosis” is no longer used as a technical term primarily because it is too broad for diagnostic and treatment purposes. Nevertheless, it is still used widely as a generic term for a wide range of disorders of primarily psychological origin. Carl Jung (1965) observed that frequently “people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life” (p. 140). This observation provides a good preliminary definition of neurosis. However, an important qualification is needed: Even more fundamental than contentment with inadequate or wrong answers are misdirected strivings for solutions. With this qualification in mind, we can ask: What kind of life questions lead to neurosis? And in what ways are neurotic answers inadequate or wrong? This chapter addresses these questions. Briefly stated, the kinds of life questions that occasion neuroses are those which (a) lead to emotional responses and (b) call for creative solutions. Neurosis results when an emotionally creative response miscarries.
REFLECTIONS ON THREE EARLY WORKS
Elsewhere (e.g., Averill, 1999; 2005; Averill & Nunley, 1992; Nunley & Averill, 1996) we have provided empirical support for emotional creativity, including laboratory research and clinical examples of emotional creativity gone awry. Here we take a different tack.

This paper presents a brief review of recent developments in the studies of fully hydrogenated graphene sheets, also known as “graphane,” and related initial results on partially hydrogenated structures. For the fully hydrogenated case, some important discrepancies exist between published first-principles calculations, and between calculations and experiment, with qualitative differences on whether or not the graphene sheet expands or contracts upon hydrogenation. The lattice change has important effects on partially hydrogenated structures. First-principles calculations of ribbon structures, with interfaces between graphane and graphene regions, show that the interfaces have substantial misfit strains. Calculating the interfacial energy must carefully account for the strain energy in the neighboring regions, and for sufficiently large regions between interfaces, defects at the interface that relieve the strain may be energetically preferable. Tight-binding simulations show that at ambient temperatures, segments of graphene sheets may spontaneously combine with atomic hydrogen to form regions of graphane. Small amounts of chemisorbed hydrogen distort the graphene layer, due to the lattice misfit.

Summary
The third edition of The Handbook of Social Psychology (Lindzey & Aronson, 1985) contains no references to grief. Rodin (1985), in her contribution to the Handbook, does discuss briefly some of the consequences of bereavement. However, her discussion focuses on the deterioration in health that sometimes follows the loss of social support in general; grief as an emotion is not mentioned. This lack of reference to grief in volumes that presumably represent the state of the art might suggest that grief poses no issues of relevance to social psychology, either theoretically or practically. But such a suggestion has little plausibility. On the theoretical level, grief raises fundamental issues regarding the ties that bind people together and hence that make society possible in the first place. On the practical level, grief places a heavy burden on society, in the form of funeral and mourning rites, care for the bereaved, and so forth.
The neglect of grief by psychologists is by no means universal. During 1985, the same year that The Handbook of Social Psychology was published, 98 articles and books were listed under the heading of grief in Psychological Abstracts. This compares with 27 listings in 1975, 42 in 1980, and 107 in 1990. Most of this burgeoning literature has to do with the clinical aspects of grief. Grief is not only a state of intense personal anguish; it is also associated with increased risk for a wide variety of psychological and somatic disorders. Indeed, the suggestion has been made that grief itself is like a disease (Engel, 1961).

Summary
Early and provident fear is the mother of safety.
Edmund BurkeIntroduction
As a young woman was driving to work one wintry morning, her car hit a patch of ice and veered into oncoming traffic. What might the young woman have experienced as she felt her car go out of control and head for a possibly fatal accident? Fear, most likely. But what is fear? Perhaps the young woman felt her heart pound and a sinking feeling in the pit of the stomach; her thoughts may have raced, but without coherence; and perhaps she engaged in frantic maneuvers, or simply froze at the wheel. These are all typical manifestations of fear. But it is also possible (and commonly reported in such instances) that the young woman's attention was so riveted on controlling the vehicle and taking evasive action that none of these symptoms of fear was evident. Was she then lacking in fear?
Assume the evasive actions were successful, and the young woman's car reached the other side of the road without a collision. Also assume, for the sake of argument, that the car overturned on an embankment and was totally wrecked. The young woman fortunately escaped injury because she was wearing a seat belt. Only after the car had come to rest did she lose her composure, start to tremble, and break out in a cold sweat. Was she then experiencing fear, even though she knew the danger had passed?
