Agressie bij kinderen
by Jan PloegAgressie is een probleem waarmee ouders, leerkrachten en hulpverleners dikwijls geen raad weten. Agressieve kinderen en jongeren blijken moeilijk te behandelen. Hoe moet agressie worden aangepakt? Waar komt agressie vandaag? Waarom is het ene kind wel en het andere niet agressief? En blijven agressieve kinderen altijd agressief? Op deze en andere vragen geeft dit boek antwoord. Agressie kan het functioneren van kinderen ernstig belemmeren. Thuis, op school en onder vrienden kan dat tot heftige problemen leiden. Voor opvoeders en hulpverleners is het van groot belang een goed inzicht te krijgen in het verschijnsel agressie. Dat kan helpen agressie een half toe te roepen of te voorkomen dat het agressieve kind steeds agressiever wordt. In de verschillende hoofdstukken belicht de auteur het verschijnsel agressie van begin tot eind. Het boek maakt duidelijk hoe agressie ontstaat, welke ontwikkelingen agressieve kinderen kunnen doormaken en welke oplossingen er zijn om agressie te voorkomen of in te perken. Dit helder geschreven overzichtswerk is bedoeld voor (aankomend) orthopedagogen, psychologen, sociaal-pedagogische hulpverleners, leerkrachten, beleidsmakers en andere professionals die met agressieve jeugdigen te maken hebben of krijgen.

Der Prozess, durch den das Buch die Leser*Innen leitet ist für alle geeignet, die sich mehr mit sich selbst und ihren inneren Mustern beschäftigen möchten und auch offen sind für neue Anregungen im Umgang mit anderen.

Der erste Teil, Inner Leadership, widmet sich den vielschichtigen Möglichkeiten zur Selbstreflexion, die für das zeitgenössische Verständnis von Führung unabdinglich ist. Achtsamkeit hält als Praxis und Begriff den Raum für die Hinwendung zum Innenleben, den inneren Geschichtenerzähler*Innen, dem individuellen Umgang mit Kritik, Emotionen und dem allgegenwärtigen Streben nach Anerkennung. Im zweiten Teil wird die teambasierte Führungspraxis in den Fokus gerückt. Unter dem Schlagwort Mindful Leadership werden einige der vielen zwischenmenschlichen Ebenen und Verbindungen beleuchtet, die nicht nur das Arbeitsleben prägen. Darunter: Kommunikation, Inspiration, Mut, Entscheidungen, sowie Zugehörigkeit und Nachhaltigkeit. Jedes Kapitel endet mit Reflexionsfragen und Übungen, die aus der Theorie in die Praxis überleiten.
Separate Social Worlds of Siblings: The Impact of Nonshared Environment on Development
by Robert Plomin David Reiss E. Mavis HetheringtonOne of the most notable findings in contemporary behavior genetics is that children growing up in the same family are not very comparable. Findings suggest that in order to understand individual differences between siblings it is necessary to examine not only the shared experiences but also the differences in experiences of children growing up in the same family. In the past decade a group of investigators has begun to examine the contributions of genetics, and both shared and nonshared environment to development. As with many new research endeavors, this has proven to be a difficult task with much controversy and disagreement not only about the most appropriate models and methods of analysis to be used, but also about the interpretation of findings. Written by some of the foremost scholars working in the area on nonshared environment, the papers in this book present their perspectives, concerns, strategies and research findings dealing with the impact of nonshared environment on individual differences in the development of siblings. This volume will have heuristic value in stimulating researchers to think in new ways about the interactions between heredity, shared and nonshared environment and the challenges in identifying their contributions to sibling differences. These papers should raise new questions about how to examine the contributions of genetic and environmental factors to development, with consideration given to the findings of this study of sibling differences and nonshared environment. Further, these papers may encourage a growing trend to integrate genetic and environmental perspectives in studies of development.
The Intelligent Ear: On the Nature of Sound Perception
by Reinier PlompPlomp's Aspects of Tone Sensation--published 25 years ago--dealt with the psychophysics of simple and complex tones. Since that time, auditory perception as a field of study has undergone a radical metamorphosis. Technical and methodological innovations, as well as a considerable increase in attention to the various aspects of auditory experience, have changed the picture profoundly. This book is an attempt to account for this development by giving a comprehensive survey of the present state of the art as a whole. Perceptual aspects of hearing, particularly of understanding speech as the main auditory input signal, are thoroughly reviewed.
The Journey of Soul Initiation: A Field Guide for Visionaries, Evolutionaries, and Revolutionaries
by Bill PlotkinSoul initiation is an essential spiritual adventure that most of the world has forgotten — or not yet discovered. Here, visionary ecopsychologist Bill Plotkin maps this journey, one that has not been previously illuminated in the contemporary Western world and yet is vital for the future of our species and our planet. Based on the experiences of thousands of people, this book provides phase-by-phase guidance for the descent to soul — the dissolution of current identity; the encounter with the mythopoetic mysteries of soul; and the metamorphosis of the ego into a cocreator of life-enhancing culture. Plotkin illustrates each phase of this riveting and sometimes hazardous odyssey with fascinating stories from many people, including those he has guided. Throughout he weaves an in-depth exploration of Carl Jung&’s Red Book — and an innovative framework for understanding it.
Wild Mind
by Bill PlotkinOur human psyches possess astonishing resources that wait within us, but we might not even know they exist until we discover how to access them and cultivate their powers, their untapped potentials and depths. Wild Mind identifies these resources -- which Bill Plotkin calls the four facets of the Self, or the four dimensions of our innate human wholeness -- and also the four sets of fragmented or wounded subpersonalities that form during childhood. Rather than proposing ways to eliminate our subpersonalities (which is not possible) or to beat them into submission, Plotkin describes how to cultivate the four facets of the Self and discover the gifts of our subpersonalities. The key to reclaiming our original wholeness is not merely to suppress psychological symptoms, recover from addictions and trauma, or manage stress but rather to fully embody our multifaceted wild minds, commit ourselves to the largest, soul-infused story we're capable of living, and serve the greater Earth community.
