![]() Jamison's condition has been about as severe as is possible in someone still capable of holding down a senior medical position (currently professor of psychiatry at John Hopkins University in Baltimore). A psychiatrist who has suffered from the illness for most of her life, she prefers the term manic depression because it is both more expressive of her experience and, ultimately, more clinically accurate. ![]() She was not afraid of admitting that she herself suffered episodes of "madness" – nor did she feel the need to be de-stigmatised by politically correct terminology. Jamison, writing in the mid-90s, says she felt personally affronted by the term "bipolar". ![]() Is depression really "unipolar" while manic depression is "bipolar"? Such classifications presuppose, she writes, "a distinction between depression and manic-depressive illness – both clinically and etiologically – that is not always clear, or supported by science". In fact, argues Kay Redfield Jamison in An Unquiet Mind, the newer name may be the less precise. T he cultural and medical shift that changed the meaningfully descriptive term "manic depression" into the quasi-mechanistic "bipolar disorder" did nothing to make our understanding of mental illness more precise. ![]()

It had a troubled production – Clayton fell out with Bradbury over an uncredited script rewrite, and after test screenings of the director's cut failed to meet the studio's expectations, Disney sidelined Clayton, fired the original editor, and scrapped the original score, spending some $5 million and many months re-shooting, re-editing and re-scoring the film before its eventual release. It was filmed in Vermont and at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. The title was taken from a line in Act IV of William Shakespeare's Macbeth: "By the pricking of my thumbs / Something wicked this way comes". It stars Jason Robards, Jonathan Pryce, Diane Ladd and Pam Grier.

Klemens's ancestors, including his father, adeptly climbed the greasy pole of imperial politics, loyally serving Habsburg interests in the Rhineland and the Austrian Netherlands. It is a strength of this book that it covers in some detail the rise of the Metternich family within the Rhineland, a territorially fragmented region closer to France than to Austria and Prussia, and one where the checks, balances and guarantees of the thousand-year old Holy Roman Empire remained peculiarly strong throughout the eighteenth century. Metternich is forever associated with reaction and Austria, but according to his own words it was the Rhine, not the Danube, that flowed through his veins. ![]() Klemens von Metternich's life spanned the final years of the Holy Roman Empire, the French Revolution, Napoleon, the so-called Restoration and Pre-March, and the 1848 Revolutions, a range that alone justifies the almost one thousand pages that Wolfram Siemann expends in rehabilitating the Austrian statesman. ![]() ![]() ![]() A severe case of nudophobia?
