~~lcolm Pines and Lise Rafaelsen The Seventh International Congress of Group Psychotherapy organized in Copenhagen by the International Association of Group Psychotherapy was one of the largest and most representative congresses on this subject that has yet been held. Probably for the first time we achieved the declared aim of the International Association: that of bringing together representatives of the different approaches to group psychotherapy in the same forum to allow for communication, exchange, and development of our relation ships. Previous congresses have been less representative and it seems to augur well for the future of the Association and of it's congresses that there was thi...
The History of Mathematics: A Source-Based Approach is a comprehensive history of the development of mathematics. This, the second volume of a two-volume set, takes the reader from the invention of the calculus to the beginning of the twentieth century. The initial discoverers of calculus are given thorough investigation, and special attention is also paid to Newton's Principia. The eighteenth century is presented as primarily a period of the development of calculus, particularly in differential equations and applications of mathematics. Mathematics blossomed in the nineteenth century and the book explores progress in geometry, analysis, foundations, algebra, and applied mathematics, especia...
Band 2 der Enzyklopädieserie "Medizinischen Psychologie" stellt unter Anwendungsaspekten aktuelle Befunde aus der Psychologie, die in der Medizin und in der Gesundheitsversorgung von Relevanz sind, vor.

The book surveys how chaotic behaviors can be described with topological tools and how this approach occurred in chaos theory. Some modern applications are included. The contents are mainly devoted to topology, the main field of Robert Gilmore's works in dynamical systems. They include a review on the topological analysis of chaotic dynamics, works done in the past as well as the very latest issues. Most of the contributors who published during the 90's, including the very well-known scientists Otto RAssler, Ren(r) Lozi and Joan Birman, have made a significant impact on chaos theory, discrete chaos, and knot theory, respectively. Very few books cover the topological approach for investigating nonlinear dynamical systems. The present book will provide not only some historical OCo not necessarily widely known OCo contributions (about the different types of chaos introduced by RAssler and not just the RAssler attractor; Gumowski and Mira's contributions in electronics; Poincar(r)'s heritage in nonlinear dynamics) but also some recent applications in laser dynamics, biology,
Das Handbuch informiert anhand von 60 Schlüsselbegriffen über die Grundlagen, Konzepte und Anwendungsbereiche der Gesundheitspsychologie und der Medizinischen Psychologie.

Stressbewältigung, Alkoholkonsum und Sexualverhalten, sowie in verschiedenen Lebensaltern und gesellschaftlichen Kontext...
Rehabilitation: zielorientierter, interprofessioneller Versorgungsprozess zur Förderung der Teilhabefähigkeit, Gesundheitsstrategie Rehabilitation ist ein geplanter und begründeter Prozess in einem interprofessionellen Kontext. Ziel der Rehabilitation ist es, die Selbstbestimmung und Funktionsfähigkeit der Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen zu fördern und somit ihre gesellschaftliche Teilhabe im Sinne einer Inklusion zu erreichen. Dieses Ziel begründet sich auf der International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) der WHO. Sie betont ausdrücklich die aktive Rolle der betroffenen Menschen und die unterstützende Rolle der Expertinnen und Experten im Kontext einer i...
The rising cost of illness and disability benefits are one of today’s biggest social and labour market challenges. The promise of activation-oriented work disability policies was labour market engagement for all people, regardless of illness, injury or impairment. However, the reality has been more complex. The Science and Politics of Work Disability Policy addresses social and political economic contexts driving state work disability reform in 13 countries. In this first attempt to explain the history and future of work disability policy, this book asks new questions about work disability policy design, focus, and effects. It details how work disability policies have evolved with jurisdictions, why these take their current shape, and where they are heading. The well positioned authors draw on their insider knowledge and expertise in law, medicine, and social science to provide detailed case studies of their jurisdictions. This pathbreaking volume will be of interest to social security system policy makers, scholars, and students in the health and social sciences.

The chapters in this volume are based on a systematic meta-analysis of the international literature by 40 German scientists who convened to evaluate the research and discarded all but the highest quality data on psychological aspects of coronary heart disease. The result is a collection that synthesizes the most significant findings and indicate productive avenues for intervention and further research.
