Advances in Social Psychology Research
Social psychology is the science that studies individual beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours in settings where other people are present (or merely implied or imagined -- which makes the definition pretty broad). Notice the focus is quite different from sociology, where groups of people are studied, but closer to psychology, where individuals are studied. The focus of social psychology is the individual within the group. As such, it is an ideal venue for studying those forces that change humans -- their beliefs, their attitudes, and their behaviours.
The Psychology of Action
Moving beyond the traditional, and unproductive, rivalry between the fields of motivation and cognition, this book integrates the two domains to shed new light on the control of goal-directed action. Renowned social and motivational psychologists present concise formulations of the latest research programs which are effectively mapping the territory, providing new findings, and suggesting innovative strategies for future research. Ideally structured for classroom use, this book will effectively familiarize readers with important theories in the psychology of action.
Dialogues on Disability and Inclusion between Isfahan and Hamburg
Scientists and students of the Universities in Isfahan and Hamburg are in an intensive dialogue on the social and cultural challenges as well as on education- and curriculum-related issues in putting the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) into effective practice in both cities. The project intends to strengthen three areas of dialogue: (1) the international scientific dialogue between the two universities on concepts such as disability, rehabilitation, inclusion, accessibility or universal design; (2) municipal dialogues between each university and the specific local organizations and institutions working for the disabled; (3) the institutional dialogue for putting the UNCRPD into practice in the respective university context in Isfahan and Hamburg and on the further development of the curricula and of teaching formats. The book presents first results of the project and thematically relevant contributions of research groups in Iran, Germany and other countries.
Hoarding Disorder
This book offers in-depth information on pathological hoarding, describing both the root of the disorder and its progression. How can hoarding disorder be diagnosed? What are the challenges involved in treatment? How can professionals best deal with those affected? In this practical guide, health professionals will find the answers to these and many other questions. In the last few years the awareness of this disorder has gradually increased – not only in the academic community, but also in the media – and it has become clear that there are a considerable number of people worldwide who continue to suffer from it. The case studies presented here share essential insights into the diverse backgrounds and lives of affected individuals. In addition, hoarding disorder has since been classified as a new mental disorder by the WHO, which means many psychoanalysts, psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers will need to be trained accordingly. This book offers valuable guidance.

Confronting Discrimination and Inequality in China
Confronting Discrimination and Inequality in China focuses on the most challenging areas of discrimination and inequality in China, including discrimination faced by HIV/AIDS afflicted individuals, rural populations, migrant workers, women, people with disabilities, and ethnic minorities. The Canadian contributors offer rich regional, national, and international perspectives on how constitutions, laws, policies, and practices, both in Canada and in other parts of the world, battle discrimination and the conflicts that rise out of it. The Chinese contributors include some of the most independent-minded scholars and practitioners in China. Their assessments of the challenges facing China in the areas of discrimination and inequality not only attest to their personal courage and intellectual freedom but also add an important perspective on this emerging superpower.
Veränderungen des Textverständnisses durch Bibliodrama
Bibliodrama ist eine zunehmend verbreitete Methode erfahrungsbezogener Bibelarbeit. Bei aller methodischen Pluralität hat Bibliodrama ein doppeltes Ziel: dem Verständnis eines biblischen Textes und dem Selbstverständnis der Teilnehmenden eine Berührung, Bewegung und Veränderung zu ermöglichen. Die vorliegende empirische Studie untersucht anhand eines vornehmlich psychodramatisch orientierten Bibliodramas zu Mk 4,35-41 eines der Ziele bibliodramatischer Bibelarbeit, nämlich Veränderungen des Textverständnisses bei den Teilnehmenden. Dabei werden Veränderungen des Textverständnisses als Effekte des gesamten bibliodramatischen Prozesses, als ausgewählte Effekte speziell des Rollenspiels und als Effekte des biblischen Textes betrachtet. Anhand von wiederholten Befragungen zu ausgewählten, exegetisch bedeutsamen Textelementen aus Mk 4,35-41 können längerfristige Veränderungen nachgewiesen werden. Die Studie endet mit einer kritischen Reflexion der empirischen Ergebnisse und weiterführenden Überlegungen zu zukünftigen empirischen Forschungsvorhaben zum Bibliodrama. Zudem benennt sie Implikationen für eine Weiterentwicklung des Bibliodramas in Theorie und Praxis.
Cognitive Errors and Diagnostic Mistakes

The book begins with an introduction that explains the concept of cognitive errors and their importance in clinical medicine and current controversies within healthcare. The core of the book features chapters dedicated to particular cognitive biases; cases are presented and followed by a discussion of the clinician's rationale and an overview of the particular cognitive bias. Engaging and easy to read, this text provides strategies on minimizing cognitive errors in various medical and professional settings.
Selbstvernachlässigung bei alten Menschen
Alte Menschen können häufig nicht mehr für sich selbst sorgen, ihre Wohnumgebung pflegen und ihre Gesundheit erhalten, weil sie pflegebedürftig, gebrechlich oder krank werden. Folgen sind vielfach eine unzureichende Pflege des eigenes Körpers und der Kleidung, eine zunehmend verwahrlosende Wohnumgebung und ein instabiler werdender Gesundheitszustand. Das Praxishandbuch von Anna Gogl beschreibt verständlich und zeigt anschaulich, wie Pflegende sich selbst vernachlässigende Menschen erkennen, Gründe der Selbstvernachlässigung verstehen und wirksame Maßnahmen ergreifen können, um alte Menschen wieder zur Selbstversorgung und -fürsorge zu befähigen oder sie entlastend zu unterstützen.
