In dynamischen Unternehmensumwelten zählt die Lernfähigkeit der Mitarbeiter zu den wichtigsten Existenzsicherungsfaktoren. Es stellt sich die Frage, wie sich Lernfähigkeit diagnostizieren und entwickeln lässt. Mit ihrem Fragebogen zum Lernen lernen legt Martina Stangel-Meseke ein Forschungsinstrument vor, das die vielen Facetten der Lernfähigkeit theoretisch und empirisch fundiert abbildet. Die Integration des Fragebogens als Vorher-Nachher-Messung erfolgt in einem neuen Ansatz, dem modifizierten Lernpotential-Assessment-Center. Es zeigt sich, dass damit Verbesserungen bei der Lernfähigkeit der Mitarbeiter nicht nur in den verschiedenen Bereichen des Lernens erzielt werden, sondern auch in den arbeitsrelevanten Schlüsselqualifikationen Führungskompetenz und Bereichsübergreifendes Denken. Die Autorin schließt eine wesentliche Forschungslücke zum Thema Lernfähigkeit und zeigt Unternehmen einen zielgerichteten standardisierten Weg zur Selbststeuerung ihrer Mitarbeiter in der Personalentwicklung auf.

The conference from which this book derives took place in Tsukuba, Japan in March 2004. The fifth in a continuing series of conferences, this one was organized to examine dynamic processes in "lower order" cognition from perception to attention to memory, considering both the behavioral and the neural levels. We were fortunate to attract a terrific group of con­ tributors representing five countries, which resulted in an exciting confer­ ence and, as the reader will quickly discover, an excellent set of chapters. In Chapter 1, we will provide a sketchy "road map" to these chapters, elu­ cidating some of the themes that emerged at the conference. The conference itself was wonderful. We very much enjoyed the vari­ ety of viewpoints and issues that we all had the opportunity to grapple with. There were lively and spirited exchanges, and many chances to talk to each other about exciting new research, precisely what a good confer­ ence should promote. We hope that the readers of this book will have the same experience—moving from careful experimental designs in the cogni­ tive laboratory to neural mechanisms measured by new technologies, from the laboratory to the emergency room, from perceptual learning to changes in memory over decades, all the while squarely focusing on how best to explain cognition, not simply to measure it. Ultimately, the goal of science is, of course, explanation. We also hope that the reader will come away absolutely convinced that cognition is a thoroughly dynamic, interactive system.

Acceptance- and Mindfulness-Based Approaches to Anxiety: Conceptualization and Treatment Edited by Susan M. Orsillo, Suffolk University, Boston Lizabeth Roemer, University of Massachusetts, Boston For many years, cognitive-behavioral techniques have been at the forefront of treatment for anxiety disorders. More recently, strategies rooted in Eastern concepts of acceptance and mindfulness have demonstrated some promise in treating anxiety, especially in tandem with CBT. Now, with Acceptance and Mindfulness-Based Approaches to Anxiety, thirty expert clinicians and researchers present a comprehensive guide to integrating these powerful complementary approaches—where they match, when they differ, and why they work so well together. Chapter authors clearly place mindfulness and acceptance into the clinical lexicon, establishing links with established traditions, including emotion theory and experiential therapy. In addition, separate chapters discuss specific anxiety disorders, the current state of treatment for each, and practical ways of integrating acceptance and mindfulness approaches into therapy. Among the book’s highlights: - A detailed conceptual framework for combining acceptance-based and cognitive-behavioral approaches - Clinically valid definitions of acceptance and mindfulness, explaining their compatibility with more goal-driven and problem-solving therapies - Discussion on how acceptance and mindfulness can be accurately assessed - Demonstrations of three specific methods—Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills training—as used in treating clients with anxiety disorders. - Treatment models for generalized anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, PTSD, social anxiety, and panic disorder - A specific chapter on applications of acceptance-based therapies for childhood anxiety disorders - Future directions for bettering our understanding of how these therapies work As the growing number of cases shows, anxiety remains a major clinical disorder, and practitioners need ready access to ideas and interventions. With this book, editors Orsillo and Roemer have created a forum inspiring future innovations and current best practice.

The volume gives a substantial contribution to the understanding of adolescent risk behaviors, informative and useful for both scientist and practitioner. The chapters deal with each of the key risk behaviors that are of concern at this developmental stage: tobacco smoking, alcohol use, marijuana and other drugs use, precocious and unprotected sexual behavior, eating disorders, risky behaviors, risky driving, deviant and antisocial behavior. The book combines theoretical analysis and the result of a wide research project, where the multiple contexts in the ecology of daily adolescent life have been considered; the data are based on large normative samples and the presentation of findings is very accessible, relying throughout on graphic representation rather than statistical tables. The book describes the different risk behaviors, shows the linkages among them, explains the functions served by the various risk behaviors or the meanings they may have for the adolescent, examines how they vary with age, sex, and other demographic characteristics, demonstrates the influential role that the theoretical risk factors and protective factors play in adolescent risk behavior involvement. The research findings not only strengthen the theory, but they serve as an important guide to the design of intervention efforts to prevent or reduce adolescent involvement in risk behavior. The emphasis of the authors on the need to strengthen protective factors that can promote positive development, and on the need to provide opportunities for behaviors that can serve the same purposes as risk behaviors do, but without compromising health and development, is salutary. This is the key challenge for all western contemporary societies to accomplish.
