Mechanisms of change in the non-pharmacological treatment of behavioural expressions of need

Ian A. James, Katharina Reichelt

Whatever form of therapy one employs, it is important to have a good understanding of the mechanisms of change and the techniques that bring about improved wellbeing. The ‘mechanisms of change’ refer to the active ingredients undertaken by the professional caregivers that lead to reductions in agitation and distress. Typically, there are two mechanisms: (i) the therapeutic procedures used to bring about helpful changes; and (ii) the clinicians’ processes, that is, actions and behaviours, that directly lead to posit …

One Heart and One Soul under Trial. Barnabas, Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 4:32–5:11: Luke’s Portrait of the Restored People of God

Matjaž Celarc

The account of Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11) remains one of the most contested passages in Acts. Scholarly discussion has frequently focused on questions of communal property, economic ethics, apostolic authority, divine judgment, or the historical plausibility of the couple’s deaths. While these issues are important, the narrative is often interpreted in relative isolation from its immediate literary context. This article argues that Acts 4:32–5:16 constitutes a coherent literary and theological unit. The sum …
