I takt med at jussen blir stadig mer kompleks og omfangsrik, blir det stadig vanskeligere virkelig å forstå den. I denne boken redegjør Hans Fredrik Marthinussen for den dynamiske tingsrettens grunnleggende strukturer og hensyn. Etter at han først har bygget en innledende teoretisk forståelse av grunnleggende hensyn og verdier, viser han gjennom utvalgte problemstillinger hvordan disse hensynene kan brukes i praksis. Han har valgt ut spørsmål som ikke lett og naturlig finner sin løsning i lovteksten, forarbeidene eller høyesterettspraksis, og derfor er godt egnet til å vise de grunnleggende argumentasjonsmønstrene i faget. Til slutt knyttes alt sammen i et avsluttende kapittel der de metodiske aspektene ved formueretten drøftes særskilt.Boken inneholder altså ikke en fullstendig gjennomgang av rettsreglene i den dynamiske tingsretten. Den skaper derimot forståelse av hvordan fagets regler skal tolkes og anvendes, og hvordan ulovfestede prinsipper, hensyn og eventuelt uklar lovtekst kan harmoniseres på en måte som er forutberegnelig for rettssystemets aktører.

From the author of Irreversible Damage, an investigation into how mental health overdiagnosis is harming, not helping, childrenIn virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z's mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What's gone wrong?In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn't the kids - it's the mental health experts. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with child psychologists, parents, teachers and young people themselves, Shrier explores the ways the mental health industry has transformed the way we teach, treat, discipline and even talk to our kids. She reveals that most of the therapeutic approaches have serious side effects and few proven benefits: for instance, talk therapy can induce rumination, trapping children in cycles of anxiety and depression; while 'gentle parenting' can encourage emotional turbulence - even violence - in children as they lash out, desperate for an adult to be in charge.Mental health care can be lifesaving when properly applied to children with severe needs, but for the typical child, the cure can be worse than the disease. Bad Therapy is a must-read for anyone questioning why our efforts to support our kids have backfired - and what it will take for parents to lead a turnaround.
