D.Phil. / This thesis can be regarded as an autoethnographic performance. It consists actually of two plays with ten acts. Most of them have changing scenes Play 1, titled Koringrosie en die kerk, consists of five acts, and tells the story of Koringrosie, the wife of the minister. Her experiences are described against the backdrop of her life in the parsonage. Play 2, Antoinette se doktorale reis with acts six to ten, represents the research story which tells the story behind the stage. True to ethnographic characteristics, these two stories are intermingled, and the reader/playgoer can decide for him- herself which one of the two plays he/she wants to experience first. The first story is an excerpt from the unpublished novel Koringrosie describing my life of twenty one years in a parsonage. With this study I revisit these parts. I started writing Koringrosie during August 1993 with the focus on the one hand to conserve the church culture from 1977-1998. On the other hand it was written to give me a therapeutic space in which I could escape when certain church traditions of an institution like the Church, tended to engulf me.

Mainland Chinese spouses to come to Taiwan's immigration system and management research and counseling After many years of separation between Taiwan and mainland China due to historical factors and the war, in November 2, 1987, the government allowed Taiwan people to visit their relatives in mainland China. The people on both sides are closer than ever because the factors such as the same language and the geographically proximity. To handle the related affairs, in 1981, section 11 of the Constitution was amended and gave the power to specify the "Regulations Governing Relations Between the People of Taiwan Area and the Mainland." Article 17 of the law supports elements that regulate the immigration of mainland Chinese spouses who come to Taiwan system. With the number of cross-strait marriages frequent exchanges between the two sides, so far nearly 290,000 pairs have registered. The implementation of the immigration system from 1992 to 2004 for Mainland Chinese spouses to come to Taiwan, as amended by section 17 of the regulations, substantial revisions started to take place and the entire system then began to undergo major changes. Of this study was to first explore the evolution of process for mainland Chinese spouses to come to Taiwan since the immigration system from 1992 to 2004 by analyzing the three dimensions of the mainland to Taiwan immigration system content and characteristics - evolution in the process, system, counseling and management. Furthermore, to understand the differences between different systems, and the impact of mainland spouses counseling, and how to take care of such a large number of these mainland spouses living in Taiwan. Finally, to conclude with recommendations to improve the system so that mainland spouses .

Army wives throughout the United States participated in a study to evaluate the application of the triadic hypothesis of social support (Sarason, I.G., Sarason, & Pierce, 1992). The concept of social support consisted of the interaction among personality, interpersonal and situational factors with situation conceptualized as the event of relocation. The three factors were hypothesized to contribute independently to the prediction of well-being. Regression analyses revealed significant contribution from personality and interpersonal factors.

The aim of this thesis is to introduce the issue of marital property, which I consider is still up to date. That is what I also learned during an internship at the court. I chose this topic mainly because I find it very interesting and important. This topic is very closely related to the family, which I consider to be the core of the society. The society without the family could not simply work. Joint property of spouses is one of the key nodes of the society. Not only the relationship between the spouses themselves, but also in relation to third parties. The thesis consists of six chapters, where most of them are further divided into subsections. The first chapter deals with the historical context of the development of joint property. This leads to an understanding of the current legislation. The second chapter deals with how the joint property is created and what constitutes the content of the joint property. That means assets and liabilities. In addition, it is pointed out what by the law cannot be part of the joint property. The third chapter of the thesis deals with the disposal of the joint property of spouses. Such disposal of joint property management concerns not only common, but also the non-common administration. Also an important point in this part is the relation between business activities and...

M.Cur. / The abuse of alcohol has a huge impact on health-related problems worldwide. The incidence rate of alcohol abuse in South Africa is on the increase according to Van Niekerk (2001:325). Alcohol dependency causes dysfunction in families resulting in problems such as physical abuse, sexual abuse, impaired relationships and poor parenting (Prest & Protinsky 1993:352). The family system becomes dysfunctional by organising itself in a way which enables and protects the alcohol dependant’s drinking habits. This phenomenon is called “ co-dependency”. The family is ignorant of the problem and becomes isolated. The concept “co-dependency” has been used since the late 1970’s to describe the problems affecting the spouse of the alcoholic and later to include the children. Co-dependency is characterised by features such as low self-esteem, poor identity formation, overuse of denial and the urge to control others. The co-dependant’s involvement with others in order to care and control leads to mental health problems such as depression, anxiety and substance abuse. It becomes a vicious cycle difficult to escape from. Health care professionals may be unaware of the underlying family problems when the co-dependant seeks help for physical and mental illness, resulting in the complexity of the problem not being addressed. Psychiatric nurses need guidelines to facilitate the mental health of the co-dependant spouse. The first goal of this study was to explore and describe the lived experience of the co-dependant spouse. The second goal was to develop guidelines for the psychiatric nurse to facilitate the mental health of the co-dependant spouse. The theoretical framework of the Theory for Health Promotion in Nursing by the Department of Nursing of the Rand Afrikaans University (2002:2-7) was used as point of departure in conducting this research. The researcher followed a functional approach according to the Botes model for nursing research (RAU, 2002:8-13). An explorative, descriptive, contextual and qualitative research design was used for this study (Babbie & Mouton, 2001:79-81). In-depth semi-structured phenomenological interviews were conducted with participants meeting the criteria for inclusion. Purposive sampling was used (Burns & Grove 1997:307). A pilot study was conducted. To ensure trustworthiness, the researcher made use of Guba’s model (Lincoln & Guba 1985: 290-300). The researcher used Tesch’s approach (Poggenpoel in De Vos, 1998:343) to transcribe the recorded interviews and to analyse the data gathered from the interviews. A literature control was conducted to re-contextualise the results within the literature. The researcher came to the conclusion that the total being of the co-dependant is dismantled by the effect of the addictive process. It was found that the ripple effect of co-dependency is far reaching, causing dysfunction of the family structure and mental health problems of the individual family members. In order to break the vicious cycle of addiction, simultaneous intervention at different levels of the addiction process was required. Therefore co-dependency should be dealt with as part of a bigger process by the psychiatric nurse when intervening. Guidelines were developed for the psychiatric nurse in order to facilitate the mental health of the co-dependant in a holistic manner. Conclusions were drawn, limitations of the research were highlighted and recommendations were made for the nursing practice, nursing education and nursing research.
