The craft of family therapy : challenging certainties
\"Family therapy trainees are inundated with a multitude of family therapy theories. They also have difficulty shifting from an individualistic view to one of seeing interactions and systems. How do therapists hone their own methods with all of these choices? And how do they learn how to best treat families with all of the focus being taken away from their clients and redirected instead on processes? Perhaps most importantly, how can they learn through an inductive process of exploring what has occurred during the therapeutic session? Veteran therapist and founder of Structural Family Therapy, Salvador Minuchin, goes back to basics with his two co-authors Michael D. Reiter and Charmaine Borda in The Craft of Family Therapy. In this book they teach readers basic communication and family therapy skills using some of Dr. Minuchin's most interesting and illuminating cases. Not only do readers re-learn basic techniques, such as reframing and joining, but they are treated to an in-depth commentary on each case, with Dr. Minuchin emphasizing the techniques he uses that allow him to refocus attention from the Identifying Patient to the family as a whole. The book ends with three supervision transcripts from Dr. Minuchin's students, whose commentary illuminates the struggles, fears, and insecurities that new family therapists face and how they can overcome them. Each of these chapters ends with a consultation interview that Dr. Minuchin conducted with each supervisees case family.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Embedding the value of coastal ecosystem services into climate change adaptation planning
Coastal habitats, such as salt marshes and dune systems, can protect communities from hazards by reducing coastline exposure. However, these critical habitats and their diverse ecosystem services are threatened by coastal development and the impacts from a changing climate. Ever increasing pressure on coastal habitats calls for coastal climate adaptation efforts that mitigate or adapt to these pressures in ways that maintain the integrity of coastal landscapes. An important challenge for decisionmakers is determining the best mitigation and adaptation strategies that not only protect human lives and property, but also safeguard the ability of coastal habitats to provide a broad suite of benefits. Here, we present a potential pathway for local-scale climate change adaptation planning through the identification and mapping of natural habitats that provide the greatest benefits to coastal communities. The methodology coupled a coastal vulnerability model with a climate adaptation policy assessment in an effort to identify priority locations for nature-based solutions that reduce vulnerability of critical assets using feasible land-use policy methods. Our results demonstrate the critical role of natural habitats in providing the ecosystem service of coastal protection in California. We found that specific dune habitats play a key role in reducing erosion and inundation of the coastline and that several wetland areas help to absorb energy from storms and provide a protective service for the coast of Marin county, California, USA. Climate change and adaptation planning are globally relevant issues in which the scalability and transferability of solutions must be considered. This work outlines an iterative approach for climate adaptation planning at a local-scale, with opportunity to consider the scalability of an iterative science-policy engagement approach to regional, national, and international levels.

Die Befreiungsvorschriften des Kleinanlegerschutzgesetzes: Eine Follow-up-Studie
Das Kleinanlegerschutzgesetz aus dem Jahr 2015 soll durch eine stärkere Regulierung für mehr Transparenz für Anlegerinnen und Anleger auf dem »grauen Kapitalmarkt« sorgen. Das Gesetz beinhaltet jedoch auch Ausnahmeregelungen. Diese entbinden sowohl Unternehmen, die sich über eine Crowdinvesting-Plattform finanzieren, als auch soziale, gemeinnützige und kirchliche Projekte von der Pflicht einer Prospekterstellung bei der Finanzierung über Vermögensanlagen. Christa Hainz, Sarah Reiter, ifo Institut, Lars Hornuf, Lisa Nagel und Eliza Stenzhorn, Universität Bremen, stellen die Regelungen des Kleinanlegerschutzgesetzes dar und analysieren die Auswirkungen der Ausnahmeregelungen rund drei Jahre nach Einführung des Gesetzes.

PROVISION OF CHILDCARE FACILITIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION - AN ANALYSIS OF MEMBER STATES' PROGRESS TOWARDS MEETING THE BARCELONA TARGETS 1
In 2002 a meeting of the European Council in Barcelona set targets to improve the provision of childcare in the European Union. The intention of the so called 'Barcelona targets' was to encourage EU member states to remove disincentives to female labour force participation. Taking into account the demand for childcare facilities, it was agreed to provide childcare by 2010 to at least 90% of children between three years old and the mandatory school age, and to at least 33% of children under three years of age. The indicator used for measuring progress towards the Barcelona targets is defined as the number of children cared for under formal arrangements as a proportion of all children in the same age group. This means that the indicator measures the actual use of existing childcare provision and not the number of available childcare places.

Third-Party Loan Guarantees: Measuring Literacy and its Effect on Financial Decisions
Granting a third-party guarantee for a loan does not directly involve a financial transaction. Therefore, guarantors might not understand that they are taking on a liability, albeit contingent. We introduce literacy about guarantees as a novel and distinct aspect of financial literacy. For ten Eastern European countries, we find that 45 percent of individuals lack this form of financial literacy. Instrumenting individual guarantee literacy with regional cohort-specific financial literacy, we show that guarantee literacy significantly reduces the probability of acting as a guarantor. Our results are robust to a placebo analysis and several sensitivity checks.

Exemption Provisions of the German Small Investor Protection Act: A Follow-up Study 1
The KASG amended the German Investment Act (Vermögensanlagengesetz, VermAnlG) by expanding its regulatory outreach to encompass types of investments that were not previously covered by the VermAnlG. Besides requiring all issuers who publicly offer investments above a certain size threshold to publish a prospectus, the KASG also contains a protection mechanism designed to ensure that non-sophisticated investors invest only a certain proportion of their available wealth in such investments. [...]crowdfunding projects have increased particularly in the areas of energy supply as well as health and social services. Since many crowdfunding initiatives concern real estate and housing projects, we will discuss whether the funds attracted via crowdfunding are being used in some cases as an equity substitute for bank loans. [...]in the 30 months after the date the KASG became binding, there was a substantial increase in the funding of real estate and housing projects, which tend to have a lower failure rate than companies. [...]the frequent use of profitparticipating loans today can be attributed to path dependencies and the exclusion from the prospectus requirement as per 2a Para. 1 Verm-AnlG for investments of up to EUR 2.5 million (defined in 1 Para. 2 No. 3, 4, and 7 VermAnlG) for profit-participating loans, subordinated loans, and other investment products, which does not apply to silent partnerships or participation rights.

The Judicial Privatization of Wild Seaweed in Maine
In 2019, the Maine Supreme Court held in Ross v. Acadian Seaplants Ltd., 206 A.3d 283 (Me. 2019), that seaweed growing on private intertidal land is private property, while other stationary intertidal marine organisms such as oysters, clams, barnacles, and mussels are not. Driven by colonists' desire to erect wharves over the intertidal lands without governmental permission, the new ordinance granted all intertidal lands to abutting riparian landowners, subject to the public's right to use the intertidal lands for \"fishing, fowling, and navigation.\" [...]deviating from the laws in nearly every other colony, the ordinance extended coastal Massachusetts private property to the low-water mark. [...]the Massachusetts Bay Colony \"reinterpreted\" its royal charter to claim the lands contained in Gorges' patent to Maine. While all six justices held that the public could cross intertidal land to scuba dive, one plurality argued that the right fell within the strict easement right of \"navigation,\" id. at 636-42 (Levy, J., concurring), while the other plurality argued, in line with the Bell dissent, that \"fishing, fowling, and navigation\" was shorthand for broader historical \"public trust\" rights that included scuba diving.
