Die psychologische Begutachtung von Familiensystemen, die kulturell und sprachlich nicht originär in Deutschland verwurzelt sind, stellt eine besondere Herausforderung dar. Die Immigrationswellen der vergangenen Jahre haben deutlich gemacht, dass zum Teil Erziehungsstrategien mitgebracht werden, die nicht mit den hier geltenden rechtlichen und gesellschaftlichen Zielen vereinbar sind. Wie sollen oder dürfen Sachverständige Verhaltensmuster und Wertvorstellungen dieser Familien bewerten und beurteilen, ob bereits die Grenze zur Kindeswohlgefährdung überschritten ist?

Dieses Buch bietet einen Überblick über die Auswirkung unterschiedlicher kultureller Prägungen und von Migration auf Familien, das konkrete Vorgehen von Sachverständigen bei der familienpsychologischen Begutachtungen von Familien mit Migrationshintergrund und darüber, wie erhobene Befunde bewertet werden können

Bayes Factors for Forensic Decision Analyses with R provides a self-contained introduction to computational Bayesian statistics using R. With its primary focus on Bayes factors supported by data sets, this book features an operational perspective, practical relevance, and applicability¿keeping theoretical and philosophical justifications limited. It offers a balanced approach to three naturally interrelated topics:Probabilistic Inference - Relies on the core concept of Bayesian inferential statistics, to help practicing forensic scientists in the logical and balanced evaluation of the weight of evidence.Decision Making - Features how Bayes factors are interpreted in practical applications to help address questions of decision analysis involving the use of forensic science in the law.Operational Relevance - Combines inference and decision, backed up with practical examples and complete sample code in R, including sensitivity analyses and discussion on how to interpret results in context.Over the past decades, probabilistic methods have established a firm position as a reference approach for the management of uncertainty in virtually all areas of science, including forensic science, with Bayes' theorem providing the fundamental logical tenet for assessing how new information¿scientific evidence¿ought to be weighed. Central to this approach is the Bayes factor, which clarifies the evidential meaning of new information, by providing a measure of the change in the odds in favor of a proposition of interest, when going from the prior to the posterior distribution. Bayes factors should guide the scientist's thinking about the value of scientific evidence and form the basis of logical and balanced reporting practices, thus representing essential foundations for rational decision making under uncertainty.This book would be relevant to students, practitioners, and applied statisticiansinterested in inference and decision analyses in the critical field of forensic science. It could be used to support practical courses on Bayesian statistics and decision theory at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and will be of equal interest to forensic scientists and practitioners of Bayesian statistics for driving their evaluations and the use of R for their purposes.This book is Open Access.

The term victim refers to a person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action.

Renal transplantation is the therapeutic option that offers the best survival and quality of life in the face of renal failure. The waiting list for kidney transplantation is a worldwide problem due to the long time patients wait before undergoing surgery. During this period of time, the patient experiences different maladaptive responses that can be considered as causes or consequences of a given health condition, and that frequently generate negative responses such as anger/hostility, fear/anxiety, sadness/depression. Because events are unpredictable, because nowadays the demand for transplants is greater than the availability of donors. That is why the patient goes through situations of longing and disappointment, waiting for the resolution of the problem, which can take a long time. They do not know how long the wait will take, if they will get a compatible donor, or if they will survive on the waiting list. The coping strategies of each individual can facilitate or hinder individual adjustment and adaptation to stressful situations such as waiting for a kidney transplant.

This book investigates the general correctional offender population and the psychotherapy services they receive. The offender population has long been considered the most difficult to engage in psychotherapy, often described as resistant, non-compliant, unworkable, and without feeling. This unique and culturally diverse population tend to find themselves, as a result, going through a cycle of arrest, conviction, incarceration, and release. Although other offender populations, such as female offenders, severe mentally ill, and sex offenders, have received considerable attention in scholarship, there has been little research focused on the treatment of the general offender population and how to reduce recidivism through the appropriate delivery of effective assessment and treatment services. This book will bridge that gap in literature, addressing:¿ Who the offender population is¿ Social and systematic factors they face¿ Psychological understandings of criminal behavior¿ Rehabilitation and psychotherapy theories and approaches to treatment , as well as best practices¿ Future efforts in justice initiatives, advocacy, and public policyThis book is best suited for upper-level undergraduates, graduate students and researchers, and practitioners in criminal justice fields and mental health professions working with offender populations.

Their presence is a reminder of the horror within their community, and a source of rejection. Their identity poses a problem for integration, even though the constitution of the republic recognizes their status. Their stigmatization is a ticking time bomb that conceals a cycle of violence to come.
