The Therapist's Notebook on Strengths and Solution-Based Therapies offers multiple pathways for those in helping relationships to employ strengths and solution-based (SSB) principles and practices as a vehicle for promoting positive change with individuals, couples, and families. The 100 exercises in this book are based on a series of core principles that are not only central to solution-based therapies; they have been demonstrated through research as essential to successful outcome. Readers will learn about processes and practices that are supported by research and are collaborative, competency-based, culturally sensitive, client-driven, outcome-informed, and change-oriented. The text is categorized into seven parts, each formatted similarly to ensure easy accessibility. Practitioners will find their therapy enhanced, with a greater ability to improve their clients' well-being, relationships, and social roles.

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1.5, University of Bern, language: English, abstract: Abstract There is a broad consensus that courts play a significant role in the process of European integration. By giving rulings on preliminary references the European Court of Justice (ECJ) asserted the two central principles "supremacy" and "direct effect," which transformed the treaty into something like a constitution. The interaction between national judges and the ECJ through the preliminary reference procedure eased this process, but not all member states used this possibility in the same degree. Whereas German, Italian and Austrian judges widely used this procedure in recent years, other countries like France, Ireland, Spain and Portugal hardly did. In this empirical analysis, which is based on data covering all current member states, I try to find some general explanations and fundamental aspects of variance in preliminary references by applying Europeanization and political-institutional theory.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich BWL - Wirtschaftspolitik, Note: 1.5, Universitat Bern, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: ...] Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, neben dem Aufzeigen der theoretischen Wirkungszusammenhange, die empirische Uberprufung der unterschiedlichen Kausalzusammenhange der Forschungsrichtungen anhand von Kantonsdaten. Dabei wird die normative Frage der Gerechtigkeit der Einkommensungleichheit nicht berucksichtigt, vielmehr wird das Augenmerk auf die Wirkungsbeziehung zwischen Einkommensverteilung und Wirtschaftswachstum gelegt. Daher liefert Kapitel 2 zuerst einen kurzen Uberblick uber die Verteilungsdynamik, bevor auf die beiden hauptsachlichen Forschungsrichtungen und weitere Theorien uber den Zusammenhang zwischen den beiden Variablen naher eingegangen wird. Der eine Forschungsstrang, gepragt durch Kuznets (1955), versucht den Effekt von Wirtschaftswachstum auf die Einkommensverteilung aufzudecken und zu systematisieren. Der andere beschaftigt sich mit dem umgekehrten Kausalzusammenhang und untersucht die Effekte von ursprunglicher Ungleichheit auf das Wachstum der Folgeperioden durch verschiedenste Einflusskanale. Werden beide Strange zusammengefuhrt ergibt sich eine Wechselwirkungsbeziehung. Wahrend in Kapitel 3 einige internationale Studien vorgestellt werden, die auf landerubergreifenden Querschnitt- bzw. Paneldaten beruhen, widmet sich Kapitel 4 der empirischen Analyse der Verhaltnisse in der Schweiz zwischen 1979/1980 und 1999/2000. ...]
