Arztrecht: Praxishandbuch für Mediziner
by Karl-Heinz Schnieder Björn Papendorf Ralf Großbölting Sebastian Berg Björn Stäwen Tobias WitteDieses Buch gibt praxistaugliche Antworten auf sämtliche Fragestellungen, die sich dem niedergelassenen Arzt im Rahmen seiner beruflichen Tätigkeit stellen. Diese Frage- und Problemstellungen wirken sich oftmals in erheblichem Maße aus – sei es persönlich im Verhältnis zum Patienten, finanziell im Verhältnis zu den Körperschaften oder hinsichtlich der eigenen beruflichen Perspektive. Der niedergelassene Arzt ist immer weniger allein Mediziner, sondern auch selbständiger Unternehmer, der die sich wandelnden Bedürfnisse der Patienten ebenso zu beachten hat, wie die sich stets im Wandel befindliche Rechtslage. Dieses Buch ist für den Arzt ein übersichtlicher und verständlicher Ratgeber – ein Wegweiser durch den regulatorischen Dschungel. Einen Schwerpunkt des Buchs bildet dabei der Bereich des Vertragsarztrechts mit seinen vielfältigen rechtlichen Verästelungen und Problemstellungen. In die Neuauflage sind neben den die berufliche Tätigkeit des Arztes beeinflussenden gesetzlichenNeuerungen, beispielsweise das Terminservice- und Versorgungsgesetz, vor allem auch die aktuellen Grundsätze der höchstrichterlichen Rechtsprechung eingearbeitet, um eine größtmögliche Aktualität zu gewährleisten. Aufgrund der praktischen Relevanz und des digitalen Fortschritts ist auch ein eigenständiges Kapitel zum Datenschutzrecht sowie der damit korrespondierenden Telemedizin in der Neuauflage enthalten. Daneben werden ebenfalls wie gewohnt alle wesentlichen praxisrelevanten Rechtsgebiete wie das Berufsrecht, das Haftpflichtrecht, das Arbeitsrecht, das Disziplinarrecht sowie das Familien- und Mietrecht dargestellt.
The Unequal Hour: How Time Is Shaping Health
by Lyndall StrazdinsThis book is about the urgent need to have time for health. It's about why people don’t exercise, rest or eat healthy food even when they know they need to. Time has become the prescription needed to halt chronic diseases, 30 minutes of physical activity every day is a minimum, but this book argues against telling people to do more. It explains why it’s not laziness, ignorance or lack of motivation that’s the problem for unhealthy lifestyles, and why so many people lack time for their health. The book connects ideas from economics, sociology, political economy and public health to work-family dilemmas, gender and social inequality. It ends by canvassing interventions and actions from the personal, to the workplace, health promotion and urban design.

The Forcing Method in Set Theory: An Introduction via Boolean Valued Logic (UNITEXT #168)
by Matteo VialeThe main aim of this book is to provide a compact self-contained presentation of the forcing technique devised by Cohen to establish the independence of the continuum hypothesis from the axioms of set theory. The book follows the approach to the forcing technique via Boolean valued semantics independently introduced by Vopenka and Scott/Solovay; it develops out of notes I prepared for several master courses on this and related topics and aims to provide an alternative (and more compact) account of this topic with respect to the available classical textbooks. The aim of the book is to take up a reader with familiarity with logic and set theory at the level of an undergraduate course on both topics (e.g., familiar with most of the content of introductory books on first-order logic and set theory) and bring her/him to page with the use of the forcing method to produce independence (or undecidability results) in mathematics. Familiarity of the reader with general topology would also be quite helpful; however, the book provides a compact account of all the needed results on this matter. Furthermore, the book is organized in such a way that many of its parts can also be read by scholars with almost no familiarity with first-order logic and/or set theory. The book presents the forcing method outlining, in many situations, the intersections of set theory and logic with other mathematical domains. My hope is that this book can be appreciated by scholars in set theory and by readers with a mindset oriented towards areas of mathematics other than logic and a keen interest in the foundations of mathematics.

Attachment Centred Therapy: Therapeutic Practice With Attachment Issues (Palgrave Texts in Counselling and Psychotherapy)
by Charley ShultsThis textbook provides a detail guide to the use of Attachment Centred-Therapy (ACT), a model designed over the course of three decades which enables future and present therapists to co-construct a more coherent narrative of a person’s life, an essential indicator of one’s emotional and mental health. This book provides students and practitioners undergoing professional development with a detailed and applicable guide to using the model, written by the man who designed and developed the therapy. As such, this book is based on real world experience of the implementation of therapy, considering theory and research, and demonstrates how ACT can be used in applications across a wide range of clinical contexts. The purpose of ACT is to help those undergoing therapy equip themselves with new resources which can assist in dealing with their predominate issues by changing how they process information about the past in the present, to achieve a better outcome in the future. ACT is a growth-oriented psychotherapy, designed using Maslow’s Modified Hierarchy of Needs as a guide, and is distinctive because it utilizes the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) as both an assessment instrument and as a vehicle for therapeutic intervention. Another of its benefits is that it’s a collaborative treatment, with the therapist forming a team with the therapy’s recipient, and then engaging together in a joint effort to create a more coherent narrative of the past, and to correct errors in information processing. This textbook is made up of practical guidance on the application of ACT, with each concept brought to life with case-study examples, complete with sections of dialogue from sessions annotated to illustrate the methods. It will provide a valuable new teaching tool for teachers and students of systemic practice, family therapy, clinical psychology, counselling, and psychotherapy, alongside qualified practitioners, and practitioners in training.
