Roots of Radicalism
When Roots of Radicalism first appeared. Nathan Glazer noted "this is a major work on the relationship between radical politics and psychological development." He went on to predict "no one will be able to write about the left and radicalism without taking it into account." Now finally available in a paperback edition, with a new introduction, the reader can evaluate just how prescient the authors are in their review of the student radical movement. Replete with interviews of radical activists, their provocative book paints a disturbing picture. The book raises critical questions about much previous social science research and ultimately about the reason an entire generation of Americans was...
Bridging Occupational, Organizational and Public Health
In our complex, fast changing society, health is strongly influenced by the continuously changing interactions between organisations and their employees. Three major fields contribute to health-oriented improvements of these interactions: occupational health, organizational health and public health. As currently only partial links exist amongst these fields, the book aims to explore potential synergies more systematically. Considering the high mental and social demands in a service and knowledge sector economy, the first part of the book focuses on work-related psychosocial factors. As a large proportion of inequalities in health in developed countries can be explained by inequalities in wor...
Biological and Psychological Factors in Cardiovascular Disease
An opening address should ask the right questions, which we expect to answer during the coming years. A good opening address should formu late hypotheses for falsification during the conference or in the near fu ture. Mter Dr. Groen's excellent lecture yesterday, I feel better about my task, because I feel I am not alone in asking the ten questions in my ab stract. It is an honor for me to give this short paper largely based on my expe riences during 15 years as medical director of a rehabilitation center in Ba varia, as a teacher at two medical schools in Munich and Innsbruck, and as an old-fashioned holistic cardiologist. However, it also is a difficult task for me because the subject of t...
Living with Chronic Illness

Gesundheitskultur
Gesundheit bildet das Fundament menschlicher Leistungskraft und stellt damit eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für betriebliche Effektivität und Effizienz dar. In diesem Wissen investieren Unternehmen vermehrt in ein Betriebliches Gesundheitsmanagement (BGM). Ein solches kann allerdings mit einzelnen Projekten und isolierten Fachbeauftragten langfristig nicht erfolgreich sein. Vielmehr bedarf es einer alltäglich gelebten Gesundheitskultur. Gegenstand der Dissertation sind u. a. eine sorgfältige Systematisierung und Aufbereitung des Wissensstands im Bereich BGM, eine umfassende qualitative Studie innerhalb eines Best-Practice-Unternehmens sowie die Ableitung konkreter Gestaltungsempfehlungen...
Mindful Change in Times of Permanent Reorganization
Since the 1990ies, organizations from different sectors have been operating in increasingly dynamic socio-economic environments characterized by unexpected events and instability. Organizations tend to adjust to dynamic environments by change initiatives promoting permanent reorganization. Such change initiatives often induce unintended effects, e.g. an erosion of trust, the violation of ‘psychological contracts’ in employees’ eyes or a decrease in organizational effectiveness. This book explores and analyzes whether such unintended effects can be anticipated or constructively dealt with by mindful change. The latter refers to the concept of organizational mindfulness that originally is linked to risk and safety research, e.g. in respect to ‘High Reliability Organizations’. In this book, organizational mindfulness is re-conceptualized addressing organizational change in the perspective of organizational sustainability. Moreover, it is explored how institutions foster or restrict organizations’ capability of organizational mindfulness in change processes.
