Population and Climate Change provides the first systematic in-depth treatment of links between two major themes of the twenty-first century: population growth and associated demographic trends such as aging, and climate change. It is written by a multidisciplinary team of authors from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, who integrate both natural science and social science perspectives in a way that is readable by members of both communities. The book will be of primary interest to researchers in the fields of climate change, demography, and economics. It will also be useful to policy-makers and NGOs dealing with issues of population dynamics and climate change, and to teachers and students on courses such as environmental studies, demography, climatology, economics, earth systems science, and international relations.

Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.Highlighting the power of multi-dimensional demography, this Advanced Introduction addresses the most consequential changes in our societies and economies using quantitative approaches. It defines three demographic theories with predictive power - demographic metabolism, transition and dividend - and repositions the discipline at the heart of social science.Key features include:Discussion of alternative demographic scenarios in the context of sustainable developmentIntroduction of national human resource management as the population policy for the 21st centuryAn outline of how the significant demographic theories discussed form the building blocks of a Unified Demographic TheoryAn argument for cognitive changes as the primary driver of demographic transition rather than changing economic conditions, demonstrated by the impact of changing educational attainment structures.This Advanced Introduction is a must-read for demographers around the globe for its concise summary of the concepts, theories and power of multi-dimensional demography, as well as students of demography at all levels. It will also be useful to academics in other social sciences, including human geography, development studies and sociology scholars interested in what state-of-the-art demography has to offer their fields.

Inhaltlich unver nderte Neuauflage. Die Frage nach dem idealen Therapiesetting steht im Zusammenhang mit qualit tssichernden Massnahmen in der Psychotherapie, deren übergeordnetes Ziel die Sicherstellung der bestm glichen Versorgungsqualit t ist. Es werden Pr diktoren für das einzeltherapeutische und das gemischte Setting (Einzel- und Paartherapie) pr sentiert, durch die schon zu Beginn der Behandlung der individuelle Therapieverlauf eines bestimmten Patienten modelliert werden kann. Die Pr diktorensuche kann als ein Beispiel patientenorientierter Psychotherapieforschung angesehen werden, die vermehrt die individuellen Bedingungen der Patienten berücksichtigt. Ihr Ziel ist es, die therapeutischen Interventionen bereits zu Beginn der Therapie besser planen, die Fortschritte w hrend der Therapie beurteilen und bei schlecht verlaufenden Therapien alternative Angebote machen zu k nnen. Die patientenorientierte Psychotherapieforschung bezieht sich dabei auf die Erkenntnisse des Aufwand-Wirkungsmodells und des Phasenmodells psychotherapeutischer Ver nderungen. Die Ausführungen richten sich an Therapeuten, Wissenschaftler, Auszubildende und all jene, die sich für eine praxisnahe Psychotherapieforschung interessieren.
