In the 2nd edition of Asset Pricing and Portfolio Choice Theory, Kerry E. Back offers a concise yet comprehensive introduction to and overview of asset pricing. Intended as a textbook for asset pricing theory courses at the Ph.D. or Masters in Quantitative Finance level with extensive exercises and a solutions manual available for professors, the book is also an essential reference for financial researchers and professionals, as it includes detailed proofs and calculations as section appendices. The first two parts of the book explain portfolio choice and asset pricing theory in single-period, discrete-time, and continuous-time models. For valuation, the focus throughout is on stochastic discount factors and their properties. A section on derivative securities covers the usual derivatives (options, forwards and futures, and term structure models) and also applications of perpetual options to corporate debt, real options, and optimal irreversible investment. A chapter on "explaining puzzles " and the last part of the book provide introductions to a number of additional current topics in asset pricing research, including rare disasters, long-run risks, external and internal habits, asymmetric and incomplete information, heterogeneous beliefs, and non-expected-utility preferences. Each chapter includes a "Notes and References" section providing additional pathways to the literature. Each chapter also includes extensive exercises.

Concurrent Treatment of PTSD and Substance Use Disorders Using Prolonged Exposure (COPE) is a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy program designed for patients who have posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a co-occurring alcohol or drug use disorder. COPE represents an integration of two evidence-based treatments: Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy for PTSD and Relapse Prevention for substance use disorders. COPE is an integrated treatment, meaning that both the PTSD and substance use disorder are addressed concurrently in therapy by the same clinician, and patients can experience substantial reductions in both PTSD symptoms and substance use severity. Patients use the COPE Patient Workbook while their clinician uses the Therapist Guide to deliver treatment. The program is comprised of 12 individual, 60 to 90 minute therapy sessions. The program includes several components: information about how PTSD symptoms and substance use interact with one another; information about the most common reactions to trauma; techniques to help the patient manage cravings and thoughts about using alcohol or drugs; coping skills to help the patient prevent relapse to substances; a breathing retraining relaxation exercise; and in vivo (real life) and imaginal exposures to target the patient's PTSD symptoms.

Die vorliegende Monographie soll den augenblicklichen Stand der Forschung uber die Multiplettstruktur der Spektrallinien in Form darstellen. Die von ZEEMAN entdeckte magnetische kurzer Aufspaltung der Spektrallinien ist dabei in den Vordergrund ge ruckt, weil gerade der Zeemaneffekt entscheidende Beitrage zum Verstandnis der Komplexstruktur geliefert hat. Der STARK-Effekt konnte demgegenuber ganz ubergangen werden, weil er, trotz viel versprechender experimenteller Anfange, bei den M u lt i pIe t t s noch wenig allgemeine und geordnete Gesetzmassigkeiten zutage gefordert hat. Das Buch zerfallt in einen theoretischen ersten ( 1 bis 23) und einen experimentellen zweiten Teil ( 24 bis 35), fur den die Verfasser einzeln die Verantwortung tragen, trotz vielfacher Zusammenarbeit nicht nur bei der Abfassung des Buches, sondern mehr noch beim Studium vieler dort beschriebener Erscheinungen, besonders des Zeemaneffekts. Bei letzterem durfen wir auf das ausgezeichnete zusammenfassende Buch von ZEEMAN: "Magneto optische Untersuchungen" verweisen, dessen Fortsetzung in vielen Punkten hier erstrebt wird. Freilich nicht in allen Punkten, denn ZEEMANS Buch behandelt bis 1913 das Gesamtgebiet des Zeeman effekts experimentell in umfassender Weise, wahrend es unsere Absicht ist, als Erganzung zu den von ZEEMAN und anderen schon fruher gegebenen Darstellungen die besonderen Erfah rungen und Gesichtspunkte mitzuteilen, die sich bei der em pirisch-theoretischen Analyse magnetischer Aufspaltungen als nutzlich erwiesen haben. Im theoretischen Teil konnen einzelne dort besonders angemerkte Paragraphen ohne Beeintrachtigung des Verstandnisses der ubrigen Teile bei der Lekture ubergangen werden."
