Abstract: Shared services cooperatives are member associations formed to meet a variety of institutional needs for economies and efficiencies of scale through collaboration in areas such as purchasing, marketing, processing and distribution (Crooks, Spatz & Warman, 1997). Our study examines cases in business, finance, health, and public sectors of the US economy. This research develops a theoretical understanding of how this form compares to related types of cooperatives and other forms of collaboration. It also empirically documents how shared services are used. The research looks at the experience of these shared-services cooperatives: what are the benefits to members; how they are structured and their impact on the local economy. Key stakeholder interviews were conducted with senior staff of cooperatives in financial services, watershed authorities and watershed management, as well as in the health sector, the business sector, and public libraries. The study develops a comparative case analysis utilizing a social ecology analytic framework. The benefits of this form of shared services cooperative are: access to influence networks; enterprise integration and interoperability; sharing of training resources; greater financial resources and professionalism (risk and financial safety); growth opportunities; and increased retention. Key to success is the development of trust and services that are well and affordably administered.

"La thérapie d'acceptation et d'engagement ou ACT a, depuis son émergence, fait ses preuves en associant efficacité et durabilité dans les résultats. En encourageant chacun à aligner pensées et actions sur ses valeurs, ce mode de thérapie permet aux patients coincés dans des modes de pensée ou comportements contre-productifs d'évoluer positivement.L'ACT repose cependant sur un modèle qui n'est pas toujours facile à mettre en pratique. La matrice ACT permet d'activer les six processus sur lesquels s'appuie l'ACT au moyen d'un schéma efficient et transparent, tant pour les thérapeutes que pour les patients. En plus d'un protocole détaillé pour utiliser la matrice ACT, les auteurs illustrent son efficacité pour travailler avec les enfants, les ados et leurs parents, en thérapie de couple ou encore en coaching. Enfin, ils montrent aussi comment l'intégrer à d'autres approches psychothérapeutiques. Complet et approfondi, ce guide permettra aux professionnels d'améliorer leur pratique de l'ACT et d'aider leurs patients à vivre pleinement."--Page 4 de la couverture.
