English to German: David Garland: Crime Control and Late Modernity in the US and the UK
Source text - English After a long-term process of expanding individual freedom and relaxing social and cultural restraints, control is now being re-emphasized in every area of social life - with the singular and startling exception of the economy, from whose deregulated domain most of today's major risks routinely emerge. The rise to dominance of this cultural theme has the character of a reaction, a backlash, an attempted undoing of accumulated historical change. The 1950s, 1960s and 1970s were decades of rapid social and economic change during which families and communities were severely dislocated even as individuals and social goups enjoyed new freedoms, more varied lifestyles, and an enhanced range of consumer choices.	Translation - German Nachdem lange Zeit die Ausweitung individueller Freiheit und die Lockerung von gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Einschränkungen vorherrschten, findet nun eine erneute Forcierung der Kontrolle statt, die jeden Bereich des Zusammenlebens betrifft - mit der einzigen und verblüffenden Ausnahme der Wirtschaft, in deren dereguliertem Wirkungsbereich regelmäßig die meisten großen Risiken der Gegenwart entstehen. Das Dominantwerden dieses kulturellen Themas trägt den Charakter der Reaktion, des Rückfalls, eines Versuchs, eine gewachsene historische Entwicklung ungeschehen zu machen. Die 1950er, 1960er und 1970er Jahre waren Jahrzehnte des schnellen sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Wandels, der Familien und soziale Milieus durcheinander brachte, während gleichzeitig dem Einzelnen sowie einigen sozialen Gruppen neue Freiheiten, eine größere Vielfalt der Lebensstile sowie erweiterte Konsummöglichkeiten zuteil wurden.
English to German: Michael Yapko: Hypnotic Intervention for Ambiguity as a depressive Risk Factor
Source text - English In the face of ambiguous life events, depressed individuals are more likely to make negative and depressing interpretations than nondepressed individuals. Fundamental to the success of cognitive-behavioral treatments, one of the most empirically supported treatments for depression is teaching the client to recognize and self-correct so-called cognitive distortions. To facilitate that learning process, clients can learn to better recognize and tolerate ambiguity inherent in many situations, and thereby diminish the drive to form subjective interpretations (either negative or positive) when more objective evidence is unavailable. This article describes ambiguity as a risk factor for depression and details a strategy employing hypnosis for teaching the skills of both recognizing and tolerating ambiguity.	Translation - German Konfrontiert mit mehrdeutigen Ereignissen im Leben, interpretieren depressive Menschen diese eher zu ihren Ungunsten als nichtdepressive Menschen. Grundlegend für den Erfolg von kognitiven Verhaltenstherapien – einer der empirisch bestbelegten Therapien bei Depression – ist es, dem Klienten zu vermitteln, die sogenannten kognitiven Verzerrungen zu erkennen und selbst zu korrigieren. Um diesen Prozess zu vereinfachen, können die Patienten lernen, die vielen Situationen innewohnende Mehrdeutigkeit zu erkennen und zu tolerieren, um so den Drang zu verringern, subjektive Interpretationen zu formulieren (sowohl positive als auch negative), wenn zusätzliche objektive Fakten nicht zur Verfügung stehen. Dieser Artikel beschreibt Vieldeutigkeit als Risikofaktor für Depression und gibt Anleitung, wie Hypnose angewendet werden kann, um zu vermitteln, Vieldeutigkeit sowohl zu erkennen als auch zu tolerieren.
