Download or read book The Adopted Child written by Christa Hoffmann-Riem and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exploration of the experiences of adopting parents and children offers unusual insight into adoption's complexity and its profound impact on family life. Based on the author's research in Germany, where she lived and taught, The Adopted Child has a great deal to say about child rearing and identity, as well as offering insights into similarities and differences in family life and adoption in Germany and the United States.Hoffmann-Reim takes the reader through the decision to adopt, the adoption placement procedure, and the transition from "applicant" to "mother and father." She explores differences between emotions experienced in adopting a baby, a toddler, and an older child, and how these emotions can affect relations with the world outside the nuclear family. A central concern is secrecy and disclosure with regard to the adopted child's origins.Based on case studies and extensive interviews, The Adopted Child has fascinated American readers as it did those in Germany. Professionals as well as those interested in adoption and family life in general will find it significant. Sociologists will find it solidly grounded in concepts and traditions from a diversity of related disciplines. And anyone interested in Germans and German society will find the materials revealing, and the author's interpretation insightful and wise.

Download or read book The Four Villains of Clinical Trial Agreement Delays and How to Defeat Them written by Débora S. Araujo and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fictional superheroes are often charged with the task of saving the world from villains such as the Joker, Lex Luthor, Doctor Doom, and the Green Goblin. But superheroes cannot be effective if they only take out one of their villains and let the others roam free. In the same way, the pharmaceutical industry cannot effectively tackle the issue of delays in the execution of clinical trial agreements (CTAs) that leave patients lives hanging in the balance by only addressing one or two of the villains contributing to this broad challenge. Dbora Araujo relies on seasoned experience in the pharmaceutical industry that includes consulting for Fortune 500 companies and driving practical change regarding the business aspects of clinical trials to share a comprehensive exploration of the four villains who contribute to CTA negotiation delays and provide practical ways to address each of them. While encouraging positive change that patients desperately need, Araujo examines the negative impacts of ineffective site-budget negotiations, poor outsourced negotiations, a lack of industry adoption and innovation, and other issues affecting CTA negotiations. Included are several checklists, a common language evaluation and reconciliation initiative, and general CTA country requirements. In this comprehensive study, a pharmaceutical professional creatively examines how to address the four villains that cause frustrating delays in the execution of clinical trial agreements.
