Mis-taken love: conversations on the problem of incest in an Irish context.

An emotive consciousness of the issues surrounding incest frequently calls forth revulsion, outrage, fear, concern, and competition. Such responses often legitimate a range of actions that include the protection of children, the blaming of mothers, and the punishment of fathers. This article explores a "systemic" dis-position in conversations on father-daughter incest. The notion of a "Fifth Province" (from Celtic mythology) is invoked wherein all emotions, judgements, and descriptions can find acceptance, and whereby a language of control and competition, implicitly negating individuals and their relationships, is suspended as a rationale for action.

HIV education and the law: a critical review.

So far, the law has been used more to limit than to encourage effective HIV education. In this article, I will discuss how the law has largely failed as a tool for compelling the government to educate effectively, and, indeed, has provided only lukewarm protection against the chilling effect of official ambivalence about explicit education. I will begin with a review of current approaches to HIV education and the education efforts of the first decade of the epidemic. I will conclude with a discussion of the role of courts and legislatures as health educators.

In search of a new ethic for treating patients with chronic pain: what can medical boards do?

Author argues that a complex "ethic of underprescribing" underlies the continued reluctance of physicians to use opioids to treat chronic pain. She contends that state medical boards are uniquely positioned to promote a new ethic for pain management, but stresses the difficulties for boards in attaining this goal. She thinks success may hinge on whether boards can change their approach to pain management and persuade a skeptical medical community that adopting a risk for underprescribing will serve the long-term interests of patients and the profession.
