Die explorative Untersuchung an einer psychiatrischen Klinik hat soziale Determinanten psychischer Erkrankungen zum Gegenstand, vor allem den pathogenen Einfluß der Erfahrungen am Arbeitsplatz. Der Verfasser gliedert die belastenden Arbeitsplatzsituationen in drei Typen und stellt den Einfluß eines jeweiligen Typs an den Lebensberichten von Patienten dar: 1. Verlust des Arbeitsplatzes infolge struktureller Veränderungen von Großbetrieben, 2. Fremdkontrolle über die Leistungen am Arbeitsplatz, 3. Konfliktsituationen am Arbeitsplatz. Weitere Faktoren wie extreme Arbeitsbelastung, Verlust wichtiger Bezugspersonen am Arbeitsplatz, Probleme der Umstellung und Neuanpassung, Veränderung im räumlichen Bereich lassen sich wegen der Heterogenität und Singularität dieser Tatbestände nicht gesonderten Typen zuordnen. Das Ergebnis der Untersuchung wird in Leitsätzen und Hypothesen zusammengefaßt: die Arbeitsplatzsituation ist keine zwingende Determinante für psychische Identitätskrisen, gleichwohl besteht ein Zusammenhang zu beruflichen Belastungssituationen wie Verlust und Veränderung des Arbeitsplatzes, externe Leistungskontrolle und Anpassungszwänge und Vereinzelung am Arbeitsplatz.

This is the first ever anthology of key articles by Johan Galtung, widely regarded as the founder of the academic discipline of peace studies. It covers such concepts as direct, structural and cultural violence; theories of conflict, development, civilization and peace; peaceful conflict transformation; peace education; mediation; reconciliation; a life-sustaining economy; macro-history; deep culture and deep structure; and social science methodology. Galtung has contributed original research, concepts and theories to more than 20 social science disciplines, including sociology, international relations and future studies, and has also applied his new insights in practice. The book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners, and can serve as a supplemental textbook for graduate and upper undergraduate courses in peace studies and related fields.

In voting bodies, when voting weights are reallocated, it is observed that the voting power of some members, as measured by the Shapley-Shubik & Banzhaf power indexes, increases while their voting weight decreases. By a simple constructive proof, it is demonstrated that such a 'paradox of redistribution' can always occur in any voting body if the number of voters, n, is sufficiently large. Simulation results show that the paradox is quite frequent (up to 30%) & increases with n (at least for small n). The power indexes used are reviewed. Examples are given where the Banzhaf & Shapley-Shubik indexes are not consistent in demonstrating the paradox. 3 Tables, 1 Figure, Appendixes. HA.
