It was reported in 2006 that a regime of ‘supervised self harm’ had been implemented at St George’s Hospital, Stafford. This involves patients with a history of self-harming behaviour being offered both emotional and practical support to enable them to do so. This support can extend to the provision of knives or razors to enable them to self-harm while they are being supervised by a nurse. This article discusses, and evaluates from an ethical perspective, three competing responses to self-harming behaviours: to prevent it; to allow it; and to make provision for supervised self-harm. It is argued that of these three options the prevention strategy is the least plausible. A tentative conclusion is offered in support of supervised self-harm.

AbstractThe purpose of this essay is to assess how the preached word — at least the ways in which certain Christian teachings, doctrines, theologies, and moral ideologies are often framed for us through the preaching moment — has much to do with the ways in which gender roles are imagined, constructed, and lived out and even the ways in which gender-based violence and violation can be reinforced. By engaging the teachings of several prominent Pentecostal preachers as posted on YouTube, and the multiple/competing responses of the comments sections therein, I seek to demonstrated how new media tools can serve as catalysts for the production and/or reproduction of problematic understandings of gender roles, and how these mediums reinforce sexual ethics that ultimately result in human violation.

Competing Responses

Ss were divided into high activation (HiAct) and low activation (LoAct) groups on the basis of pre-learning basal skin resistance (BSR). All Ss were given 3 trials on 2 different lists of paired-associates and the number of competing responses, omission errors, and correct responses emitted were recorded. In support of activation theory, it was found that HiAct Ss consistently made more competing responses but fewer omission errors than the LoAct Ss. The study also replicated the systematic decrement in number of competing responses across Trial 2 positions found in an earlier study and termed there the “habituational position effect.”
