A Chance for Change. Up to now, the reasons why egoism is increasingly permeating and characterizing our society have gone unrecognized. We often hear that we live in an egoistic, narcissistic society and belong to a'generation incapable of relationships.'Many people suffer from this, they suppress their feelings, because they are afraid of intimacy and getting hurt. They experience sex and love as separate from one another, have difficulties with empathy, responsibility and commitment, or always have to be the center of attention. Many belittle others and are fixated solely on money and power. In contrast, others often feel like they are the victim and they find taking care of themselves difficult. Find out why you are the way you are and what you can do to change it. In this book, you will find the results of Marion Kohn's five-year, root cause analysis explained in a way everyone can understand. This book contains a revolutionary discovery. For the first time, it describes the causality leading to the emergence of narcissistic and altruistic behavior patterns - and how this behavior can be resolved. These personality changes affect all of us. We are all responsible for ourselves and our actions, for our interpersonal relationships, the way we raise our children and how we interact with our fellow human beings in both our personal and professional lives. With its sound theoretical framework and numerous case examples, this book gives you the chance to affect deep and lasting positive change in your personality. By resolving your narcissistic and altruistic behavior patterns, you create the foundation for being capable of relationships and thus, improving all your interpersonal relationships. With it, you will nurture the love and empathy you have for yourself and your fellow man. This leads to greater personal well-being and success in many areas of your life as well as to benefits for our society as a whole.

Bisher war nicht bekannt, was der Auslöser dafür ist, warum der Egoismus immer mehr unsere Gesellschaft durchzieht und prägt. Man spricht immer häufiger davon, dass wir in einer egoistischen, narzisstischen Gesellschaft und einer'Generation Beziehungsunfähig'leben. Viele Menschen leiden darunter, sie unterdrücken ihre Gefühle, weil sie Angst vor Nähe und Verletzung haben. Sie empfinden Sex und Liebe getrennt voneinander, haben Schwierigkeiten mit Empathie, Verantwortung und Verbindlichkeit oder müssen ständig im Mittelpunkt stehen. Oder sie machen andere Menschen klein und sind nur auf Macht und Geld fixiert. Andere dagegen fühlen sich oft als Opfer und es fällt ihnen schwer, gut für sich selbst zu sorgen. Erfahren Sie, warum Sie sind, wie Sie sind und wie Sie es ändern können. In diesem Buch wird das Ergebnis von fünf Jahren Ursachenforschung der Autorin Marion Kohn für jeden verständlich erklärt. Es enthält eine revolutionäre Entdeckung. Erstmals wird hier der Kausalzusammenhang beschrieben, wie narzisstische und altruistische Verhaltensweisen entstehen – und wie sie aufgelöst werden können. Diese Persönlichkeitsveränderungen betreffen jeden. Wir alle tragen Verantwortung für unser Handeln, für uns selbst, in zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen, bei der Erziehung unserer Kinder und beruflich im Umgang mit unseren Mitmenschen. Dieses Buch gibt Ihnen mit seinem fundierten theoretischen Gerüst und zahlreichen Fallbeispielen die Chance, Ihre Persönlichkeit tiefgreifend und nachhaltig positiv zu verändern. Durch das Auflösen Ihrer narzisstischen und altruistischen Verhaltens-weisen erschaffen Sie die Grundlage, beziehungsfähig zu sein und damit alle Ihre zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen zu verbessern. Sie fördern damit die Liebe und das Mitgefühl zu sich selbst und zu Ihren Mitmenschen. Das führt zu mehr innerem Wohlbefinden und Erfolg in vielen Bereichen Ihres Lebens und dient generell unserer Gesellschaft.

The casebook is a client-focused, teaching-oriented book. It integrates narrative with cases, statutes, regulatory materials, and commentaries to create a comprehensive, tightly organized teaching tool. A key feature is that, unlike the competing casebooks, the book is replete with problems, questions, and exercises designed to help students apply what they are learning and to facilitate lively classroom discussion. Many of these are client counseling hypotheticals that ask students to advise hypothetical clients or to describe how they would approach a client meeting.
