TL;DR: A distinction is drawn between incomplete grief and grief arising from maturational events such as life-cycle milestones, which is likely to be unproductive for a patient's current problems.
Abstract: A distinction is drawn between incomplete grief and grief arising from maturational events such as life-cycle milestones. Treating maturational grief as though it were incomplete grief or using expressions of maturational grief as a sign of important childhood roots for a patient’s current problems is likely to be unproductive.

TL;DR: Three new Chrysanthemum xhybrida, garden chrysanthemums cultivars: Red Daisy, White Daisy, and Coral Daisy, are the first in the Mammoth™ series that are advanced interspecific hybrids derived from an open-pollinated cross between hexaploid C. weyrichii (Maxim.) Tzvelv.
Abstract: Three new Chrysanthemum xhybrida, garden chrysanthemum cultivars: Red Daisy, White Daisy, and Coral Daisy, are the first in the Mammoth™ series that are advanced interspecific hybrids derived from an open-pollinated cross between hexaploid C. weyrichii (Maxim.) Tzvelv. x C. xgrandiflora Tzvelv. These cultivars are backcross or inbred derivatives of the original interspecific F 1 hybrids. All three cultivars are U.S. Department of Agriculture Z3b (-34.4 °C to -37.2 °C) winter-hardy herbaceous perennials exhibiting a shrub habit with the cushion phenotype. Additional traits exhibited by these three cultivars are butterfly attractants, frost tolerance of the flowers, and genetic 'self-pinching.' These Mammoth™ cultivars are clonally propagated, virus indexed, protected by U.S. Plant Patents and Canadian Plant Breeder's Rights, and are available from the North American exclusive licensee Ball Seed Company.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an explanation for the contradictory evidence in the literature regarding the performance of family-owned firms and suggest that most of the research fails to clearly describe the family effect on organizational performance.
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to provide an explanation for the contradictory evidence in the literature regarding the performance of family-owned firms. The article suggests that most of the research fails to clearly describe the “family effect” on organizational performance. The “family effect,” based on agency theory and the resource-based view of the firm, is described and propositions are generated that examine the relationship between families and organizational performance. Implications for theory and research are also discussed.
