Tehran's willingness to pause aspects of its nuclear program may offer opportunities to stroke regime concerns about the potential costs of moving forward.Since halting its crash nuclear weapons program in 2003, the Islamic Republic has pursued a cautious hedging strategy that has enabled it to become an advanced nuclear threshold state, while also avoiding a military confrontation with the United States and Israel. Yet Iran's willingness to pause aspects of its nuclear program in order to ease pressure-and in turn to pursue more urgent objectives-may help Washington constrain Tehran's nuclear ambitions by amplifying its concerns about the potential risks and costs of proliferating.In this Policy Focus, military analyst Michael Eisenstadt surveys the evolution of Iran's nuclear hedging strategy and suggests ways for the United States, along with its allies and partners, to shape the regime's proliferation calculus with the goal of preventing an Iranian breakout and a nuclearized Middle East.

"A provocative and revealing perspective." - BooklistShows how mental distress is often caused by relationship imbalance, not chemical imbalance. Diagnosis Human offers a compelling alternative to the biomedical model of mental health as it's been promoted over the last 30 years--a model which says that mental distress is a problem of chemical imbalance, or brain chemistry. Promoted by the highly profitable Psychiatry/Pharmaceutical industrial complex, and followed by much of the broader psychotherapy community, biological psychiatry focuses on quantifying the "illness" by an almost exclusive focus on symptoms. In this model, symptoms are never good. They are always seen as a sign that something is wrong with that person, a sign of pathology that must be changed. People now have a name for what they "have" and receive a prescription for it.What may appear as intractable individual problems, however, often aren't individual problems at all. This book reveals how many of these distressing emotional states are created by nearly invisible, intimate patterns in our relationships. Diagnosis: Human invites readers into the therapist's office to be part of family therapy sessions, where they can experience practically first-hand what these intimate relationship patterns look and feel like. The authors present cases of adults dealing with depression, couples who come to therapy reeling from the betrayal of an affair, families with kids diagnosed with ADHD, teenagers with anxiety or young children with temper tantrums. Each therapy session includes the voice of the therapist, inviting readers to sit in as observers to watch and listen as the case unfolds, sometimes in dramatic fashion.
