Book Summary: CASE APPROACH TO COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY, Eighth Edition, vividly illustrates how major counseling approaches work with a single client, Ruth. Dr. Corey provides solid examples of psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, reality, behavior, cognitive-behavior, family systems, feminist, and postmodern theories in action. Dr. Corey applies each therapeutic approach to a single client, illustrating how the various theories work and helping you see exactly how the techniques differ. Well-respected and widely recognized practitioners serve as guest commentators, offering their unique perspectives on Ruth's case. Commentators include founders of some of the therapies, such as William Glasser for choice theory and reality therapy, Arnold Lazarus for multimodal therapy, and Albert Ellis for rational emotive behavior therapy.

This thesis aims to assess the role played by disagreement in the High Court???s constitutional law decisions. It does so firstly by considering the theoretical arguments in favour of allowing expression of dissent and those which urge judicial restraint and observance of precedential values. The tensions between change and conformity, and also the individual and institutional aspects of adjudication, intersect when the Court divides. The complex nature of disagreement on a multimember judicial body is further examined in the context of devising an empirical methodology for the quantification of dissent on the High Court. The thesis selects a period of a little over twenty years for detailed examination. Within that timeframe, it measures the prevalence and nature of disagreement amongst the Justices of the Court, with particular emphasis upon constitutional cases. From these results, various streams of opinion are examined for subsequent significance. In particular, the thesis contrasts the practice of persistent dissent from the Court???s approach to an issue, with those occasions when a minority Justice yields to the demands of stare decisis. The impact of dissent upon the development of the Court???s constitutional interpretation is evaluated. Although the study finds that direct reversals in the law in favour of an earlier dissent occur very rarely, it argues that dissents may still exercise a powerful influence on the Court???s pronouncements. The contribution which minority opinions make to judicial deliberation is to inevitably alter the context of the Court???s decision. Consideration of two specific case studies illustrates that this may result in the law taking a more moderate path or may actually lead to greater efforts by a majority to strengthen the cogency of its approach. In either scenario, dissent plays a far more subtle role than suggested by the myth of a ???Great Dissenter??? and the dramatic redemption of his or her lone opinions. To only assess the value of dissenting judgments against that standard is to fail to appreciate the true nature of their influence in many cases and their importance to the work of the High Court.

My dissertation will seek to explain the voting behavior of judges in state courts of last resort in death penalty appeals cases. To do this, I have constructed a dataset that encompasses all death penalty appeals cases in 30 states during the period 2000-2006. The dependent variable in my quantitative analyses is the vote rendered by each judge in each case, and can take on two values: a vote to uphold the sentence of death, or a vote to reverse or vacate the sentence of death. Drawing from the judicial literature, my independent variables will include personal factors, institutional factors, and environmental factors. Personal factors include the gender and race of the judge, which the literature suggests are related to differences in judicial behavior. I will also use ideology scores developed by Brace et al. (2000), but only for a subset of cases for which those scores are available. Institutional factors include the party identification of the governor at the time the judge was appointed or elected, the party identification of the governor at the time the case was decided, and the party composition of the state House and Senate at the time the case was decided. Environmental factors include the state murder rate, the number of executions since 1976, and the number of inmates on death row at the time of the decision. The theoretical underpinning of this research is derived from the new institutionalism, which posits that judges’ decisions are shaped not only by judicial attitudes and strategic considerations, but by a variety of institutional and environmental factors. I hypothesize that the institutional and environmental factors previously enumerated will have a significant impact on the voting behavior of state high court judges in death penalty appeals. To test my hypotheses, I will use logistic regression to construct models incorporating all of the previously mentioned variables.

In order to promote the reputation, appearance, social position and job achievements of the police, the superior moral is the key factor. It affects the performance of authority and the quality of governance of our government directly. The moral crisis is more or less hidden in the government apparatus. However, the law executor like the police involves a moral case will always be the headlines, it proves ¡§Rotten Apple Theory¡¨, even there is 99¢H law-abiding police officers. The image of the police in the people¡¦s mind should be the incarnation of equity and justice. Nevertheless, the authority is endowed by the police is the best sharp weapon of law-disobeying and discipline-violating. The citizen has the right of the examination and being public employment. According to ¡§Civil Service Employment Act¡¨, the citizen can be a formal police officer by passing the national examination. However, according to ¡§The Statute For Personnel Affairs Involving Police Staff¡¨, counterbalancing a police officer¡¦s prize and punishment are two serious mistakes will be dismissed from office, it seriously takes effects on the police¡¦s right. The superintendents who are responsible for the investigation on the police moral cases should handle matters carefully, administrate legally, obey the rule of procedural justice. To examine the practice and enactment of the investigation on the police moral cases by the administrative legal system is necessary in this studying. The legal system of the investigation on the police moral cases is examined herein by the basic methods of administrative law, namely, the five major frameworks, including administrative principles, administrative organization, limitation of administrative power, administrative relief, and administrative supervision from every respect and viewpoint. Meanwhile, bibliography exploration, historical narration, comparative research, and case analysis are adopted as the principal research approaches to explore whether there¡¦s any improvement required regarding the legal system of the investigation on the police moral cases on the basis of five major frameworks of administrative law. Additionally, practical implementation and suggestions for regulations and actions concerning future investigation on the police moral cases are hereby provided to achieve the goal of protecting procedural justice and the police¡¦s right as well. With the exploration by means of five major frameworks of administrative law, the legal system of the investigation on the police moral cases yet obeys the three administrative principles according to laws and the seven principles of procedural justice and has formed the prototype as that of countries ruled by law. However, problems such as inappropriate system design of special duty and administrative plan , incomplete decrees and laws, uncertain legal concepts, unclear meanings still remained in the existing and getting rid of the traditional concept of ¡§special right relation¡¨. As a whole, restriction exceeds protection. The suspect against ¡§Criminal Code¡¨ is still possessed with legal human rights, the police against administrative law shouldn¡¦t be possessed with human rights procedurally and substantively. Indeed, ¡§ moral is the lifeblood of the police¡¨, since moral is so important, the governor of the police authorities shall view that to be a topic of demanding immediate attention and examine the problems dwelling in the legal system of the investigation on the police moral cases on the basis of five major frameworks of administrative law as soon as possible and further to review and perform modification to be convinced of all the police and promote the police¡¦s appearance and public reliance.

This bachelor degree study will deal with strategic measurements within sales. It undertakes an empirical evaluation of the two measurement strategy concepts “Sales Pipeline” and “Strike Zone”. Firstly, the study will explain key advantages of implementing the strategic measurements. Secondly and finally, the potential challenges as well as possible ways to overcome them will shape the structure of the study with the purpose to develop a sales process.   The foundation of the study is based on modern market trends, which is influenced on characteristics such as globalization, increased demands from customers and similarities of products and services being offered among suppliers acting on the market. These aspects among others pressures organizations to establish superior strategies in order to create a competitive advantage. The set up of successful strategies commonly entails the process of converting strategic intent into actionable activities as well as being able to measure them. Therefore the concept of measuring is an important key in developing a superior competitive advantage.   The authors worked hand in hand with the organization Saab throughout this study. Therefore, the thesis is a qualitative single case study of the organization. It will specifically investigate Saabs sales process in the market of global defense security, and evaluate key measurable strategies that can be related to their organization. According to the study findings and the analytical results, the conclusion is that both of the theories “Sales Pipeline” and “Strike Zone” will develop the sales process of Saab if the challenges of the theories can be addressed. This would be in terms of composing complements to reach a number of benefits such as an increased close rate, higher efficiency, reduced bottlenecks in the sales process, higher awareness of what types of business cases the organization should select etc.
