Die Modefotographie ist in den letzten zwanzig Jahren zum Leitmedium unserer visuellen Kultur aufgestiegen. Nichts wird in Mode und visueller Kultur so schnell von Neuem überlagert wie die jeweils jüngste Vergangenheit. "Aktualarchäologie" nennt der Autor diese Art der Annäherung und deckt vier Kraftfelder auf, in denen sich die Modefotographie seit 1980 bewegt: Glamour - Punkrock - High-Tech und Futurismus - Kunst.

Impulsivity and aggression have undergone considerable research scrutiny in recent years and will comprise a major research topic in psychiatry over the next decade. Violence is a public health issue of great concern and advances in our knowledge of the psychiatry of aggression and disorders of impulse control are therefore of tremendous importance. Specifically addressing diagnostic, epidemiologic, evolutionary, neurobiological, neuropsychological and legal issues, this timely text brings together a large array of diverse data to provide a unique, comprehensive and up-to-date account of this subject. Specific impulse control disorders, personality disorders, and related disorders such as self-mutilation, bulimia, substance abuse and neurological trauma are discussed. Treatment strategies?articularly psychopharmacology, new agents undergoing trials and psychological approaches?are reviewed. No single work has yet attempted to address systematically the phenomenology, neurobiology and treatment of impulsivity, aggression and disorders of impulse control. Written by leading world authorities in their field, this text will have a wide audience including researchers and clinicians in psychiatry, psychology, psychopharmacology and mental health care, as well as those in the fields of social and health policy.

In the span of a decade, the research image of this disorder has changed from that of a little-known, poorly understood neurosis to one of the most exciting frontiers in psychiatry. A wide range of leading experts presents comprehensive coverage of the most recent and significant advances in basic research and clinical investigation of obsessive compulsive disorder.
