Mit dem Kleinanlegerschutzgesetz (2015) wurde die Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin) auf den Schutz kollektiver Verbraucherinteressen verpflichtet (§ 4 Abs. 1a FinDAG). Hans-Ulrich Klöppel untersucht dieses Mandat und die mit ihm verbundenen Handlungsmöglichkeiten der Behörde. Nach einer Auseinandersetzung mit der Regulierung von Verbraucherfinanzprodukten und Verbraucherfinanzmärkten werden das mit dem Verbraucherschutzauftrag verbundene Zielkonzept, die Reichweite der Aufsichtszuständigkeit sowie das behördliche Instrumentarium betrachtet. Herausgearbeitet werden dabei insbesondere die normativen Vorgaben an die behördliche Verbraucherschutzaktivität sowie Zuständigkeiten und Befugnisse zur Einflussnahme auf Aufsichtsobjekte bzw. zur Information von Verbrauchern. Der Autor wurde für die Arbeit mit dem Preis der LBBW Landesbank Baden-Württemberg ausgezeichnet.

The book probes how the serious and sometimes fatal decision was made to admit individuals to asylums during Germany’s age of extremes. The book shows that - even during the Nazi killing of the sick - relatives played an even more important role in most admissions than doctors and the authorities. In light of admission practices, this study traces how ideas about illness, safety, and normality changed when the Nazi regime collapsed in 1945 and illuminates how closely power configurations in the psychiatric sector were linked to political and social circumstances.
“International Practices in Pancreatic Surgery“ describes in great detail general and specific technical aspects of the standard resection procedures of the pancreas. Each surgical step during the pancreatic operation is precisely outlined and accompanied by drawings and photographs. The main chapters on pancreatic carcinoma, chronic and acute pancreatitis are written by the editors. An international faculty complements the texts by describing their own personal techniques. This concept offers the greatest possible overview of the techniques used by experienced surgeons.
For a long time, imaging of the chest was based on the use of either radiography, demonstrating lung morphology, or scintigraphy, looking at lung function. However, as a result of recent developments in CT and MRI technology it is now possible to perform dedicated investigations of different aspects of lung function, such as ventilation, perfusion, gas exchange, and respiratory mechanics. This volume, written by acknowledged experts in the field, provides a well-illustrated and comprehensive review of these novel approaches to functional imaging of the chest. It will be of great assistance to all who are establishing such strategies in the research or clinical arenas for the diagnostic work-up and follow-up of patients with lung diseases.
Despite the fact that methods of exposure therapy have proven to be highly effective in various empirical studies, they are still underused and sometimes subject to controversial discussion. There have been significant developments: In recent years, methods of exposure therapy have been applied in various areas of therapy, including body dysmorphic disorder and hypochondriasis. Exposure techniques also play an important role in the so called “third wave therapies” (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy). And there is more recently a revival of exposure in panic and agoraphobia and GAD. On the other hand, a large number of scientific articles discuss the practical applications (ethical aspects, amount of exposure) and the theoretical foundations (habituation) of exposure therapy. In order to provide an overview of the current debate and to point out the latest developments in the area of exposure therapy, we have decided to present the current state of discussion (most contributors are scientist-practitioners) to an interested professional audience.
