* The role of loss within society
Andreas Reckwitz 's book 'Loss, A Modern Predicament, The first comprehensive study of the role of loss within society", 2025 explains loss not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a sociological one.

"Loss has come to occupy a central position in late modernity – whether in the consequences of climate change or the entrenchment of negative expectations about the future, the ‘losers’ of post-industrial modernisation or the collective processing of ‘historical wounds’ and of who is acknowledged as the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, in a heightened psychological awareness of vulnerability, in political populism, a nostalgia for things past, or programmes of resilience."

"Loss is the bread and butter of populism." >>

The article examines how feelings of entitlement and a desire to punish others are linked to an interest in secretly removing a condom during sex, and how these patterns relate to broader sexual coercion and personality traits. It highlights research on early maladaptive schemas and their association with stealthing, including the roles of entitlement and punitiveness in predicting arousal and intent.

The topic is of interest to psychology readers because it sheds light on underlying cognitive patterns and personality traits that may influence sexual aggression, contributing to understanding risk factors and informing prevention and education efforts.
