Transdiagnostic Approaches in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
by Ana Claudia OrnelasThis book will help cognitive behavioral psychotherapists adopt a transdiagnostic approach in their practice. In recent years, a new approach in psychotherapy has been arguing for a move from a focus on specific diagnoses to a transdiagnostic approach that targets psychological mechanisms and processes common to different mental health conditions in order to develop more personalized treatments. This book shows how to adopt a transdiagnostic approach using different third wave cognitive behavioral therapy protocols, such as: Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Metacognitive Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Process-Based Therapy and the Unified Protocol. “The mental health care field is undergoing rapid changes toward transdiagnostic and personalized methods. In line with this development is this superb text. In her book, Dr. Ana Ornelas developed an outstanding book that every student and professional clinician should read. It presents the main protocols of CBT in a single volume by conceptualizing the client in their uniqueness. I highly recommend this text”. - Prof. Dr. Stefan G. Hofmann, Alexander von Humboldt Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Marburg, Germany. “Until recently cognitive behavioral therapy has been tailored for individual DSM disorders resulting in numerous treatment protocols. But advances in identifying mechanisms of action of these therapies has led to single interventions that are effective across broad classes of disorders such that they are called "transdiagnostic". In this groundbreaking book leading approaches qualifying as transdiagnostic are described and presented in a way that will be very useful to clinicians in their practice and in their training”. - Prof. Dr. David H. Barlow, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry Emeritus, Boston University, USA. Founder of the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University. Some information in this book was originally written in Portuguese and translated into English with the help of artificial intelligence. Subsequent human revisions were done primarily in terms of content.
Internationaler Datentransfer zwischen der EU und den USA: Rechtliche und technische Anforderungen auf europäischer und US-amerikanischer Ebene
by Dr. Tatia BagauriWeltweit sind Europa und Amerika die führenden Akteure und die wichtigsten Partner füreinander. Daher sind der internationale Datentransfer für Strafverfahren sowie wirtschaftliche Aktivitäten zwischen diesen Ländern ein sehr wichtiges und aktuelles Thema. Diese sind allerdings mit vielen rechtlichen Hindernissen sowie technischen Schwierigkeiten verbunden, die betrachtet, analysiert und angepasst werden müssen. Präventive rechtliche sowie normative Maßnahmen spielen dabei eine entscheidende Rolle. Trotz aller Bemühungen kann der Datentransfer beeinträchtigt werden: Daten können verloren gehen, Informationen können manipuliert werden, Systeme können angegriffen werden. Geschieht dies, sollen nachgelagerte Maßnahmen durchgeführt werden, damit die geplante digitale Datenübertragung reibungslos funktioniert. Dadurch wird der Schutz jedes Einzelnen gewährleistet. Menschen gehören Daten, und wenn Daten nicht geschützt werden, sind Menschen nicht geschützt. Sind Persönlichkeitsrechte geschützt, sind Menschenrechte geschützt – ein Wert, bei dem nichts und niemand Vorrang hat. Menschen und ihre Rechte werden immer höher eingestuft als jegliche Organisation oder Regierung auf der Welt. Aus diesem Grund ist das gesamte Thema unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Persönlichkeitsrechte zu betrachten.

The Persistence of Racialization: Literature, Gender, and Ethnicity (Routledge Literary Studies in Social Justice)
by Luz Angélica KirschnerThe Persistence of Racialization: Literature, Gender, and Ethnicity represents an attempt at unpacking the legacy of modern ideas of race initiated and established during the conquest of the Americas and their current relevance for literary criticism of ethnic writing, also known as minority writing. The book challenges ideas of a post-racial globalized world to question the tendency to devalue ethnic literary writing in general, and ethnic women’s productions in particular, by questioning reductive literary criticism of ethnic writing that perpetuates bias against ethnic writing and its authors. By advocating for a decolonial literary imagination, the book urges literary critics of ethnic writing to consider the complexities of modern race and its enduring impact on contemporary social and cultural narratives. Updated literary analyses of Jewish Argentine, Turkish German, and Chinese American women writers encourage literary critics of ethnic writing to explore alternative transnational frameworks that prioritize equity, diversity, and social justice.

The Liberal Internet in the Postliberal Era: Digital Sovereignty, Private Government, and Practices of Neutralization
by Johannes ThumfartThis book begins with an examination of the internet as a central institution of the post-Cold War liberal order. From this starting point, Johannes Thumfart analyzes the contemporary rise of digital sovereignty in Asia and Europe, alongside the establishment of private government within digital networks. He interprets these phenomena as indications of an emerging postliberal era. Thumfart engages with a wide array of empirical research and assesses liberal ideals such as state and net neutrality by discussing thinkers like Hegel, Schmitt, Mouffe, Taylor, Sandel, Fukuyama, Anderson, and Jasanoff, as well as network and rational choice theories. He contends that the internet's reification of liberal values has, paradoxically, subverted these values and catalyzed the transition to postliberalism. Thumfart suggests that instead of adhering to the traditional liberal focus on neutrality, states should adopt a more flexible approach of neutralization to respond to the complexities of this digital and postliberal era.

Using NEPA to Combat Global Warming
by David L. KeysThis book will help policy makers, university students, and the general public understand how the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is intended to work, and how it can be used to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in order to combat global warming. Unlike all other books on NEPA, this book focuses on the global warming problem in terms of thermodynamics and entropy. It explains how NEPA can help combat global warming by operationalizing the “energy requirements and conservation potential” analysis requirement in the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations, 40 CFR 1502.16 (a)(7), and it puts the past, present, and future of the NEPA statute, the CEQ regulations, and energy analysis requirements all in one easy to find, portable place. It will be an excellent resource for university students and teachers, policy analysts, and those members of the public that want to know all about the NEPA Process. As a third edition, the book contains new analysis on the amended NEPA statute (2023) and revised CEQ regulations (2024), CEQ’s January 9, 2023 interim guidance on how to incorporate GHG emissions into NEPA documents, the social costs of carbon, the long-term strategy of the United States to get to net-zero GHG by 2050, assessing climate risk in NEPA reviews, and the link between energy requirements analysis required by 40 CFR 1502.16 (a) (7) and reduced GHG emissions.

Handbuch Religion in Konflikten und Friedensprozessen
by Madlen Krüger Anna LöwKrieg, politische Gewalt und Frieden stellen zentrale Themen der internationalen Politik dar. Elementar geht es darum, ersteres zu verhindern und letzteres zu befördern. Vor diesem Hintergrund reflektiert das Handbuch die Rolle, die der Religion in Konflikten und Friedensprozessen zukommt. Mit seinen insgesamt fast 100 Beiträgen von Autorinnen und Autoren verschiedener Fachdisziplinen bietet es eine umfassende, systematische Übersicht zu diesem Themenfeld. Ausgehend von drei zentralen Kategorien – Recht, Gewalt und Frieden – erfolgt eine differenzierte Sicht auf verschiedene religiöse Traditionen. In die Betrachtung einbezogen wurden die abrahamitischen Religionen Judentum, Christentum und Islam, die dharmischen Religionen Hinduismus und Buddhismus sowie der Daoismus und Konfuzianismus als die vorherrschenden Orientierungen im sinischen Kulturkreis.
Social Work, Parents and the Child Protection Process: Representations of Parents in Policy, Organisation and Social Work Practice
by Katrin Bain John HarrisDespite the pivotal role played by parents in the child protection process, little attention has been paid to how social workers perceive them. Exploring representations of parents within Children’s Services – at the levels of policy, organisation and frontline practice – the concept of citizenship is used to construct a typology with ten variants of parent-citizenship. The typology reveals the complexities of parental representations and their relationship to the content of policy, organisational environments and dominant societal themes, as it uncovers how social workers represent parents in their day-to-day practice. The book is a resource that can be used by students, practitioners, researchers and parent advocacy organisations to evaluate policy and practice and to contribute to the search for the best possible outcomes for families. Arguing that parental participation in the child protection process is essential, the book increases the visibility of parents and contributes to a much-needed dialogue about working with parents in Children’s Services.
