Ziel des Buches ist es, herauszuarbeiten, in welchen Bereichen autistische Menschen mit psychischen Begleiterkrankungen persönliche Therapiebedarfe sehen und wie diese aktuell in der Autismus- Therapie bearbeitet werden können. Dazu wird die Forschungsfrage „Wie grenzen erwachsene Menschen mit Autismus-Spektrum-Störung und psychiatrischer Komorbidität ihre Therapieanliegen zwischen sogenannter Autismus-Therapie und Psychotherapie ab und wie sehr passt das zu Sichtweise, Möglichkeiten und Komp

This concise introductory text provides a complete overview of biodiversity – what it is, how it arose, its distribution, why it is important, human impact upon it, and what should be done to maintain it.

The field of biodiversity is rapidly developing as new research challenges and furthers our understanding of this stimulating subject. This new edition has been substantially revised to take account of these recent developments. Much of the text has been rewritten, updated and

Throughout history, hearing and sound perception have been typically framed in the context of how sound conveys information and how that information influences the listener.  "Hear Where We Are" inverts this premise and examines how humans and other hearing animals use sound to establish acoustical relationships with their surroundings.

This simple inversion reveals a panoply of possibilities by which we can re-evaluate how hearing animals use, produce, and perceive

People are inseparable from natural ecosystems, and understanding how people think about, experience, and interact with nature is crucial for promoting environmental sustainability as well as human well-being.

This is the new edition of what is now the leading textbook in conservation psychology, the field that explores connections between the study of human behavior and the achievement of conservation goals. Completely
updated, this book summarizes theory and research on w

This book invites snorkelers and divers on an educational visit to the most important ecosystems of the Mediterranean Sea. Keystone species from brown algae to dolphins are presented in their marine habitats and understood as part of a complex ecological system. Instead of grouping animals and plants taxonomically, we have organised them according to the eight main habitats of the Mediterranean Sea. Our journey starts with different types of rocky grounds, then takes you further to the M
