Summary
On December 22, 1933, a few days after moving into a thatched-roof house just outside the Danish town of Svendborg, Bertolt Brecht wrote his friend Walter Benjamin with instructions for sending Benjamin's library ahead to Denmark so that it would be waiting for him when he arrived for a visit. Brecht's plan to have Benjamin ship the books in advance showed a subtle and sympathetic understanding of his friend. Taking into account Benjamin's hesitations about leaving Paris and his deep, almost mystical attachment to his library, Brecht's plan was pitched to encourage Benjamin to make the journey, and offered convenience, consolation, and productivity once he got there. Brecht included his wife Helene Weigel's assessment of how little money one needed to get by in Svendborg, and praised the town library for its ability to “get you any book.” Moreover, he wrote coaxingly, “We have radio, newspapers, playing cards, your books soon, stoves, small cafés and an uncommonly easy language.” Perhaps most importantly of all, “the world is expiring more quietly here.” Benjamin should send the books in care of Maria Lazar, Brecht wrote, and gave the address: Skovsbostrand per Svendborg.
Brecht's list of Svendborg's assets is characteristically concrete. But it represents abstractions: access to information, leisure, diversions, material comforts, and a small, reliable, and localized network of intimate intellectual comrades. These plain but vital attributes, Brecht seemed to say, were the basics required for personal and intellectual survival in exile. They would underpin the sense of security and refuge that developed in and around Brecht and Weigel's house at Skovsbostrand 8, and they were at the heart of the community that strove to alleviate the anxiety and profound dismay that accompanied the flight from Germany and marked its aftermath.
This article investigates the period between 1933 and 1939, when a small society of German-speaking, exiled Mitarbeiter (coworkers) made a home for themselves in Denmark. This group included Brecht, Benjamin, Weigel, and the German dramaturg, Margarete Steffin, and was anchored in Svendborg by the Danish novelist Karin Michaëlis. It was frequently filled out by other visiting or local colleagues, including, to a significant degree, the actress and photographer Ruth Berlau, also Danish.

This paper reports the first large-sample investigation of the maltreatment-related correlates of low-income adolescents’ narratives about their childhood experiences with primary caregivers, as assessed with a modified version of the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and based on official reports of abuse and neglect (maltreated n = 214, nonmaltreated n = 140; M age = 16.7 years). Drawing on factor-analytic and taxometric evidence indicating that AAI narratives vary along two state of mind (i.e., dismissing and preoccupied) and two inferred childhood experience (i.e., maternal and paternal) dimensions, here we demonstrate that the experience of maltreatment, particularly when chronic, is associated with increased risk for dismissing and preoccupied states of mind and more negative inferred childhood experiences. Although such maltreatment-related associations were generally not specific to any of the four AAI dimensions, the experience of physical and/or sexual abuse was uniquely associated with preoccupied states of mind and negative inferred paternal experiences even after controlling for the other AAI dimensions. More extensive paternal perpetration of maltreatment also was uniquely related to more negative inferred paternal experiences.

Bergman and Jean (2016) rightly argue that published research in industrial–organizational (I-O) psychology often underrepresents low-wage and frontline employees in favor of professional workers and management. One possible consequence of this bias is that I-O research may unintentionally marginalize workplace phenomena that impact employees professionally and personally. One example offered by Bergman and Jean is economic tenuousness, a work–life stressor that is more likely to be experienced by low-income and frontline employees. The recent growth in the proportion of individuals employed in low-wage jobs (Albelda & Carr, 2012) reinforces the need to explore the impact of the publication rift between the science and practice of I-O psychology.

Depression affects 6.5 million of the 35 million Americans ≥65 years of age. While depression usually begins earlier in life and recurs periodically, it can present for the first time in people 80–90 years of age as well. Depression throughout the lifespan has a genetic/biological component but is also very much affected by social environmental factors. As people age, demographic factors, social support, and negative life events remain important to overall mental health, while physical illness and disability begin to take on a much more prominent role. Depression in the elderly is associated with impairment, dependency, disability, and significant distress for the individual and their family. This population is likely to present with concomitant cognitive dysfunction and medical illness, which can complicate the identification and treatment of psychiatric conditions. Bereavement is almost universal in late life and is sometimes a deterrent to appropriate diagnosis and treatment of depression. Physical frailty and diminishing social resources further complicate the treatment of depression in the elderly. Elderly individuals respond well to standard pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy treatments for depression. However, due to the high rate of relapse of depression in this population, continuous treatment is often warranted. This monograph will review depression in the elderly in the context of social disruptions, such as bereavement, caregiver strain, interpersonal conflict, role transitions, and social isolation; late-onset vascular depression and cognitive impairment; and physical illness including disability.

Relationships between ascariasis and lactose digestion and between ascariasis and food transit time from mouth to caecum were investigated in young children from Chiriqui Province, Republic of Panama. The breath hydrogen method was used in both studies. Ascaris-infected children showed a significantly poorer degree of lactose digestion following a test oral load than uninfected children. Recovery of the capacity of the children to digest lactose was still not fully complete for at least 3 weeks following anthelmintic treatment. On average, the mouth-to-caecum transit time was similar in infected and uninfected children, but among the Ascaris-infected children the transit time tended to be shorter in relation to the intensity of infection. Evidence from a cross-sectional survey indicated that ascariasis was significantly associated with reduced plasma vitamin A and carotenoid concentrations. This relationship remained after controlling for a range of socio-economic variables. Ascaris-infected children were frequently found to have lower haematocrits and blood haemoglobin concentrations than uninfected children, but these relationships could not be attributed to ascariasis alone.
