Overview: Helps the reader to understand and diagnose separation anxiety disorder.Includes an entire chapter dedicated to the presentation of clinical cases.Broadens understanding of separation anxiety disorder.This book presents data that challenges the long-established view that separation anxiety disorder should be reserved for diagnosis among children and adolescents by demonstrating that adult-onset is prevalent in many countries and that adult-onset separation anxiety disorder is just as persistent and impairing as the pediatric-onset form. Separation anxiety disorder in adulthood is ass

Overview: Michael Frieske analysiert das Phänomen der Selbstbezüglichkeit im Medium Fernsehen. Zunächst werden eine generelle Typologie und Entwicklungslinien selbstreferentieller Handlungen erstellt und mit deren Hilfe Formen und Funktionen der Selbstreferenz im Deutschen Fernsehen beleuchtet. Am Beispiel der „Harald Schmidt Show“ belegt der Autor, daß mediale Selbstbezüglichkeit vor allem in der Fernsehunterhaltung einen bemerkenswerten Stellenwert erreicht hat. Dies wird besonders deutlich durch die Fähigkeit des Mediums, sich selbst zu zitieren und zu parodieren und dadurch klischeehafte M

Overview: Changes in climate and climate variability have an effect onpeople‘s behaviour around the world, and public institutions have animportant part to play in influencing our ability to respond to andplan for climate risk. We may be able to reduce climate risk byseeking to mitigate the threat on the one hand, and by adapting to achanged climate on the other. Another theme of the book is theintegrated role of adaptation and mitigation in framing issues andperforming analyses. Adaptation costs fall most heavily on the poorand special attention needs to be paid to adaptation by the poorestpo

Overview: are the findings that Wade-Woolley and Siegel obtained when they studied children for whom English was a second language. Although the second language speakers performed more poorly than the native speakers on tests of syntactic knowledge, phoneme deletion, and pseudoword repetition, the second language speakers were not worse than the native speakers in spelling. These results suggest that, even if children have not fully mastered the sound system of their second language, they need not be disadvantaged in spelling it. The findings appear to pose a challenge to views of reading and

Overview: .Structural Phase Transitions II., like its predecessor (Topics in Current Physics, Vol. 23), presents selected methods and recent advances in the experimental investigation of phase transitions in solids. The two chapters in this volume deal with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and with nuclear magnetic and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NMR-NQR). Both techniques are particularly sensitive to local properties. The chapter on EPR concentrates largely on the investigation of static properties, including mean-field behaviour, critical and multicritical phenomena, whilst NMR is sh
