In this volume, the authors explain the reasons why subjective indicators of well-being are needed. They describe how these indicators can offer useful input and provide examples of policy uses of well-being measures. The book then delves into objections to the use of subjective well-being indicators for policy purposes and discusses why these objections are not warranted. Finally, the book contains answers pertaining to the measures that are currently in use and describes the types of measures that are most likely to be valuable in the policy domain.At the most ambitious, even audacious, level, Well-Being for Public Policy has the potential of transforming society by making people and policy more concerned about well-being, and less concerned about economics and income. The existence of national measures of well-being would draw more interest to the rewarding and problem areas of life, and serve to give a broader focus to societal decisions. National accounts of well-being could reorient societies so that social values, the environment, enjoyable work, and physical and emotional health are given prominence along with economic development. This book is an invaluable treatise on current understanding of the complex relationship between well-being and public policy-- it will be of great interest to researchers in the fields of psychology and economics.
In the UK, psychiatry and psychoanalysis have often been seen as opposing disciplines, negatively impacting both fields. The British Psychoanalytical Society aims to bridge this gap by fostering closer ties between the two. Psychoanalysts are actively presenting their work in psychiatric departments to enhance mutual understanding of analytic developments and to learn from psychiatric practices. The authors discovered a strong interest in psychoanalysis, particularly among young people in psychiatric training and the broader community, during their Freud events. Some prestigious universities report that their most popular courses involve psychoanalysis. This book emerges from a conference titled "The Organic and the Inner World," organized by the NHS Liaison committee of the British Psychoanalytical Society. The conference focused on the role of analytic thinking within psychiatry, particularly regarding its organic approach to significant psychiatric disorders.
