Suffering as a virtue
Published in David Bain, Michael Brady, Jennifer Corns, Philosophy of Suffering, 2019
If Hurka is right, then it would seem that suffering of various kinds – both physical and emotional – can constitute forms of hating evil, in the sense described above, and as a result can constitute intrinsically valuable attitudes. As a result, my account can avoid the second criticism. This is because the negative feelings that constitute forms of suffering are in a strict sense intrinsically bad, but are, when directed towards things that are themselves intrinsically bad, in a looser sense intrinsically good. There is thus no contradiction in maintaining that suffering is both always intrinsically bad and, when it constitutes a virtuous motive, intrinsically good. Consider an example: remorse feels terrible, and is to this extent an intrinsically bad state for us to be in. But remorse is also a way of hating or being pained by one’s own moral wrongdoing, and so counts as a form of hating evil. On this account, therefore, remorse is intrinsically bad because of how it feels, but also intrinsically good because it is a form of hating evil.
Hypnotherapy as an Intervention in Medicine and Psychiatry

In the case formulation described in Chapter 2 (Appendix 2B), because Cathy was subjected to emotional and physical abuse from her alcoholic husband, she believes ‘I am no one’, ‘I have no confidence’, ‘He destroyed me; he took away my pride and my dignity’ and ‘He turned me into a failure; he took away my personality’. In therapy it is necessary to encourage PTSD patients to confess their deeds and emotions, however embarrassing or repugnant they may be. From the details provided by the patient, the therapist is able to help the patient distinguish between misplaced guilt and remorse.
What resource tools are available to help me in working in action learning?
Published in John Edmonstone, Action Learning in Health, Social and Community Care, 2017
This serves to respect the set member's rights while at the same time not violating the rights of others. The need to save face can be particularly strong once the chemistry of anger has dissipated. Many people experience remorse in hindsight. They then feel guilty about their loss of self-control or foolish for having lost their temper or the extent to which they have gone ‘over the top’. So the set member should use reflective, non-judgemental and empathic statements such as: ‘Yes, you did go a bit over the top, but I can well understand why.’‘We all get angry at times and it helps to get the emotion out of the way so we can then tackle the issue together.’
Pharmacological strategies for the management of the antisocial personality disorder
Published in Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, 2023
The DSM-5 introduced a diagnostic specifier of CD ‘with limited prosocial emotions’ (LPE) (for recent lines of research [33]), with two or more additional criteria among the following: 1) lack of remorse or guilt; 2) callousness and lack of empathy; 3) lack of concern regarding performance; 4) shallow or deficient affect. The clinical importance of this descriptor is further highlighted by the recent proposal of an enlargement of the LPE specifier in youths who do not meet the full criteria for CD, but still exhibit a severe and dysfunctional pattern of behavioral problems, characterized by aggressive and premeditated conducts with vindictive or domination aims which bypass social and moral rules [31,34]. As for their adult counterparts, CU/LPE traits have been described in young incarcerated samples [35,36] and in adolescents in both clinical and non-clinical populations with early-onset, pervasive, and chronic aggressive and antisocial behaviors [37,38].

Finally, this study explored the relationship between offender culture and the raters’ perception of the offenders’ i) attitude toward treatment, ii) prospects for rehabilitation, iii) feelings of remorse, and iv) level of control over their offending behavior. Again, there is a lack of prior research examining these relationships, and so this element of the study is exploratory in nature. However, due to the negative media coverage directed at South Sudanese youth in recent times, it was tentatively suggested that the South Sudanese offender would be rated lower on the attitude, remorse and rehabilitation variables, suggesting a more negative perception. Similarly, and in line with the research of Bridges and Steen (1998), it was suggested that the South Sudanese and Indigenous offenders may receive a higher score on the control variable, suggesting that they are perceived as having greater control over their offending, and thus greater personal responsibility for this behavior.

The growing research evidence on the importance of CU traits to designate a subgroup of youth with severe conduct problems led to the integration of CU traits into the diagnostic criteria of conduct disorder (CD) in the most recent revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The specifier “With limited prosocial emotions” (LPE) has been introduced to identify youth with conduct problems and high levels of CU traits. It is met when individuals fulfill the criteria of CD and demonstrate two or more of the following traits persistently over 12 months in multiple occasions: (a) lack of remorse or guilt, (b) callous-lack of empathy, (c) unconcerned about performance and (d) shallow or deficient affect. Hence, it is essential to have valid and reliable measures to assess the LPE specifier.
