The purpose of this study was to explore and better understand termination in the field of marriage and family therapy, as well as to generate a working model of termination. Data were obtained from a total of 40 marriage and family therapists (MFTs) licensed in the state of Utah. Two research questions were posed about termination and how client type and treatment progress may influence the termination process: (1) Given that MFTs see individuals, couples, and families, are there differences and similarities across client types in regard to how therapy is terminated?; and (2) Does termination differ in regard to treatment progress (i.e., clients have been completely or partially successful in meeting the specified treatment objectives)? Data examined from these therapists suggested that marriage and family therapists terminate individuals, couples, and families in a similar, but not sequential, manner using six main steps: (1) plan for future problems, (2) review goals, (3) summarize treatment, (4) orientation to termination, (5) review skills and resources, and (6) empower clients. This model was compared to and analyzed against a four-step model conceptualized by Epstein and Bishop. The results not only produced a similar termination model to that of Epstein and Bishop, but added greater depth and clarification to the steps outlined in the model. The data also supported the idea that treatment progress may influence termination for couples and families, but did not support it for termination with individuals.

Magister Artium - MA / In South Africa, abortion became a right in 1996 in terms of the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act, 92 of 1996 (CTOP). However, despite this legal dispensation, debates between pro-life (those against abortion) and pro-choice (those supportive of the law) have continued unabated in liberal South Africa. These debates have resulted in severe stigma for women who choose to terminate their pregnancies. The discourse is shaped by an array of personal, religious, cultural and other social beliefs that differ from community to community. Research shows that access to free post-abortion services is further complicated for women, especially young women, by privacy concerns, the negative attitudes of institutional service providers, and stigma.

Termination of the employment relationship by the employer Abstract The dissertation focuses on termination of employment relationship under Act No. 262/2006 Coll., Labour Code of the Czech Republic, namely termination by the employer. It therefore focuses on the notice of termination of the employment relationship, the immediate termination of the employment relationship, the cancellation of employment relationship during the probationary period and the closely related issue of invalidity of the above legal acts. The dissertation is divided into a general part and a special part. The general part (1-3) first gives an overview of the basic features of the applicable legislation on termination of employment relationship by the employer and considers its function (purpose), then offers a brief insight into the legislation regarding termination of the employment relationship by the employer in the Republic of Austria, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Slovak Republic and finally briefly summarizes the starting points of alternative approaches to termination of the employment relationship. The main focus of the dissertation is the special part (4-7), which focuses on the notice of termination, the immediate termination, the cancellation during the probationary period and the invalidity of the above legal...

Consensual Qualitative Research methodology was used to explore how experienced therapists understood and learned from cases of premature termination. Eleven board certified therapists participated in semi-structured interviews concerning a case of a former client who had left treatment prematurely. They offered their reflections on the client’s presentation, the structure of the treatment, successful aspects of the therapy, problems in the treatment, the process of termination, and the impact on their own professional development. Core ideas were identified in each interview, and were cross-referenced to highlight the most common experiences described by the therapists. Premature terminations resulted from multiple, concurrent problems in the treatment including client un-readiness to change, therapist mistakes, and strains in the therapeutic relationship. Therapists experienced a mixture of emotions following the termination including anger, confusion, sadness, and occasional relief. Although therapists initially described premature termination as the result of client issues and psychopathology, upon reflection they acknowledged their own contributions to the premature termination. In the end, therapists remained uncertain about why their former clients left treatment because they lacked their clients’ perspectives. Recommendations for future research and implications for clinical practice are offered.

Masters of Science / There is a need for defined models of human nutritional disorders partly because serious misconceptions about models are common amongst researchers. Historically a large variety of species has been used including primates, pigs, rats, lagomorphs. Advantages various small carnivores and and disadvantages are not well known and availability is a major factor. In 1753 John Hunter used pigs to study bone growth in one of the first scientifically controlled nutrition experiments (Kobler 1960). Rats were most likely the first animals to be bred specifically for scientific purposes and there is evidence that they were used in nutrition experiments during the late eighteenth century (Kobler 1960). Experience with carcinogenesis in animals has shown the great diversity of results which may possibly be obtained from different species (Lave et al. 1988). This is pertinent to nutritional research as there is an established link between diet and cancer. The selection of a suitable substitute to attempt to model possible human response to a variety of procedures is dependent upon criteria among which the following are possibly the more important. Availability; this is of great importance in Southern Africa where the cost of importation of exotic species. must be taken into account. Du Plessis (1981) referred to the fact that our indigenous primates were a valuable resource. A second consideration must be the cost the selected animal in a scientifically acceptable environment. Keeping animals of maintaining and ethically for research purposes in an uncontrolled environment could well lead to erroneous conclusions being made. Thirdly the cost of a research program in which animals are used may be increased if there is insufficient knowledge of the model selected. A paucity of knowledge available about an animal may affect the viability of an experiment. The need for precise information regarding the effects of extended term dietary supplementation of experimental animals has been noted by Fincham et. al. (1987) . Additionally the selected animal should preferably have similar dietary requirements to man, and have a life span which will enable extended term investigations.
