A guide to conducting Collaborative/Therapeutic Assessment to promote client growth Mental health professionals are increasingly enthusiastic about and ready to use psychological test data, research, and theory in life-relevant ways to improve diagnosis, client care, and treatment outcomes. With Collaborative/Therapeutic Assessment (C/TA), clients participate actively with the assessor in exploring how their test scores and patterns reflect who they are in their daily lives and how they can learn to help themselves cope with life's challenges.Using a case study approach to demonstrate how to apply C/TA in practice, Collaborative/Therapeutic Assessment provides practitioners with a variety of flexible and adaptable case examples featuring adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families from different backgrounds in need of treatment for assorted concerns.Designed for both experienced and novice clinicians, the book begins with a brief history of C/TA, and provides clear definitions of the distinctions among many common approaches. It uniquely presents: Eighteen diverse C/TA assessments covering: depression, multiple suicide attempts, severe abuse, dissociation, an adolescent psychiatric ward, custody evaluation, a couple in crisis, and collaborative neuropsychology Guidance on how both client and clinician can agree on the best course of action through joint exploration of assessment procedures, results, and implications Closely related approaches to psychological testing, including Individualized Assessment, Collaborative Assessment, Therapeutic Model of Assessment, Collaborative/Therapeutic Neuropsychological Assessment, and Rorschach-based psychotherapy Clearly labeled Teaching Points in each chapter Collaborative/Therapeutic Assessment provides psychologists in all areas of assessment, and at all levels of experience, with powerful C/TA examples that can dramatically illuminate and improve clients' lives.

Assessments by psychologists, educators, and other human-service professionals too often end with the client being reported in terms of scores, bell-shaped curves, traits, psychodynamic forces, or diagnostic labels. Individualizing Psychological Assessment uses these classification devices in ways that facilitate returning from them to the individual's life, both during the assessment session and in written reports. The book presents an approach and procedures through which a person's actual life becomes the subject matter of assessment. Thoroughly revised from the previous edition, the book presents a wide range of concrete examples and illustrative cases that will serve both students and practicing professionals alike in individualizing assessments.

Swiss Foreign Policy, 1945-2002 presents for the first time a comprehensive collection of eight essays, addressing the post-war foreign policy of Switzerland. Through these essays, the dualistic nature of Swiss foreign policy, being at once both strongly internationalist and strongly unilateralist, is examined.

This comprehensive collection of eight essays addresses the post war foreign policy of Switzerland. The essays deal with a diverse range of issues: general foreign policy and neutrality; defence and security policy; relations with the United Nations; the Swiss policy of good offices; relations with the International Committee of the Red Cross; Swiss human rights policy; arms control and non-proliferation and foreign economic policy. Through these essays, the dualistic nature of Swiss foreign policy, being at once both strongly internationalist and strongly unilateralist, is examined.

Die Herausgeber und die Autoren wollen mit dieser Festschrift den Kaufmann, Steuerberater, Wirtschaftsprüfer, Vorstandsvorsitzenden der DATEV eG, Präsident des BITKOM e.V., Träger des Bundesverdienstkreuzes und vor allem den Menschen Professor Dieter Kempf ehren. Die Beiträge dieser Festschrift setzen sich in vielen Facetten und Blickwinkeln mit dem Thema „Informationstechnologien als Wegbereiter für den steuerberatenden Berufsstand“ auseinander. Dabei ist das Spektrum der Beiträge – ähnlich wie der Wirkungskreis von Dieter Kempf – sehr breit gefächert. Da allen Autoren eines gemein ist, eine gewisse persönliche Beziehung zu Dieter Kempf in Verbindung mit einer hohen persönlichen Wertschätzung des Menschen Dieter Kempf, finden in dieser Festschrift auch persönliche Worte ihren Platz.

This book will aim to educate practicing otolaryngologists and trainees in the diverse spectrum of surgical and medical interventions available for recalcitrant CRS, with an emphasis on novel therapeutic modalities. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) represents one of the most common healthcare problems in the United States (US), with 1 in 6 adults affected and 31 million individuals newly diagnosed each year. Over 22 billion dollars are spent annually in US health care expenditures due to the cost of prescription medications, surgical interventions, and loss of productivity. Management of CRS recalcitrant to standard medical and surgical intervention continues to present a challenge for many otolaryngologists. An overall productivity cost of $10000/per patient per year is estimated for those with such refractory CRS. The last decade has seen significant expansion in our treatment armamentarium for such recalcitrant disease. New surgical approaches, minimally invasive techniques, endoscopic instrumentation, technologic innovations, in-office procedures, etc. have been developed. Systemic immunomodulatory biologics and a vast array of topical agents have also been introduced. These novel therapeutic options have been the topic of numerous panel presentations at educational conferences/courses by the co-editors but no textbook to date has been published focusing on this important subject. Chapters addressing operative and clinic procedures will offer accompanying videos depicting surgical techniques in addition to illustrations and step-by-step descriptions. Sections reviewing new technology and medical therapies will also include tables and reviews of the pertinent literature. Advances in Surgical and Medical Interventions for Recalcitrant Chronic Rhinosinusitis will serve otolaryngologists and trainees in the most up-to-date techniques both surgical and otherwise to address this pervasive issue. It describes new surgical approaches and recent technologic innovations for management of recalcitrant chronic rhinosinusitis, discuss novel medical therapies including nascent systemic biotherapeutics, immunomodulators, and topical additives to assess their potential role in the treatment of refractory chronic rhinosinusitis, and assist practitioners in understanding the relevant evidence, outcomes, and proper application of each therapeutic modality in patients with recalcitrant chronic rhinosinusitis.

Is time a creation of God? How can God be considered eternal, if he is responsible for the existence of time? Is God temporal or is he timeless? The relationship between God and time has been an object of inquiry in philosophical and theological traditions around the world for centuries. This volume takes up these and other questions, presenting a range of answers not only as brought forth in European philosophical traditions and in early Christianity, Judaism and Islam, but also positions taken by mediaeval Indian theologians and in the influential traditions of early Buddhism. Traditionally, discussions have focused on questions such as whether time is a necessary concomitant of God’s existence, or whether time should be identified with God. But there is a further question: did these traditions develop their own unrelated and independent view of God and time? Or are there similarities in their reflections? This volume, with contributions of scholars from various relevant fields, offers a novel approach to these inquiries. When taken as a whole, it provides new momentum to contemplation on an age-old enigma.
