Youth Without Family to Lean On: Global Challenges and Local Interventions
by Moshe Israelashvili Shula MozesYouth Without Family to Lean On draws together interdisciplinary, global perspectives to provide a comprehensive review of the characteristics, dynamics, and development of youth (aged 15–25) who have no family to lean on, either practically or psychologically.In this timely volume, Mozes and Israelashvili bring together leading international experts to present updated knowledge, information on existing interventions, and unanswered questions in relation to youth without family to lean on, in pursuit of fostering these youth’s positive development. The various chapters in this book include discussions on different topics such as social support, developing a sense of belonging, parental involvement, and internalized vs. externalized problems; on populations, including homeless youth, residential care-leavers, refugees, asylum-seekers, young women coming from vulnerable families, and school dropouts; and interventions to promote these youths' mentoring relationships, labor market attainment, out-of-home living placements, use of IT communication, and participation in community-based programs. Additionally, various problems and challenges are presented and elaborated on, such as: Who needs support? Who is qualified to provide support? How should related interventions be developed? The book takes a preventive approach and aims to emphasize steps that can be taken in order to promote young people’s positive development in spite of the absence of a family to rely on in their life and examines the best practices in this context, as well as the international lessons that deserve further dissemination and exploration. This book is essential reading for those in psychology, sociology, public health, social work, law, criminology, public policy, economics, and education and is highly enriching for scholars and practitioners, as well as higher education students, who wish to understand and help the gradually increasing number of youth who are forced, too early, to manage their life alone.
Zeitpsychologie: Der Einfluss der Zeit auf das menschliche Erleben und Handeln
by Antje FladeDie Psychologie der Zeit befasst sich mit einem Phänomen, auf das aus wahrgenommenen Veränderungen geschlossen wird. Zeit gibt es nur, wenn sich etwas verändert. Weil Veränderungen immer irgendwo stattfinden, hängen das Wann und das Wo untrennbar miteinander zusammen, was sich in den Begriffen Zeitraum und Raumzeit widerspiegelt. Ein Buch über Zeitpsychologie soll sensibilisieren, indem die Bedeutung der „vierten Dimension“ im alltäglichen Erleben und Handeln bewusst wird, die sich im Unterschied zum dreidimensionalen Raum der unmittelbaren Wahrnehmung entzieht. So werden manche Verhaltensweisen erst verstehbar, wenn man den Zeitfaktor einbezieht. Es geht um Fragen der Zeitverwendung und Zeiteinsparung, um das Zusammenpassen unterschiedlicher Zeitstrukturen in verschiedenen Lebensbereichen und um die Zeitperspektive, die sich aus dem gegenwärtigen Moment, der erinnerten Vergangenheit und der vorgestellten Zukunft zusammensetzt. Es ist die Vergangenheit, die den Menschen zu dem gemacht hat, was er gegenwärtig ist. Ohne eine Zukunftsperspektive gäbe es keine Motivation und kein Planen. Die Zeitperspektiventherapie ist darauf gerichtet, eine Balance zwischen den drei Abschnitten herzustellen sowie Depressionen und psychische Erkrankungen zu heilen, die auf einer fehlenden Zukunftsperspektive oder auf traumatischen Erfahrungen beruhen. Es gibt keine Zeitlosigkeit, denn Veränderungen finden fortwährend statt. Indem er kulturelle Umwelten und gebaute Umwelten schafft, trägt der Mensch aktiv dazu bei. Nicht nur die Umwelt ändert sich, sei es durch natürliche Vorgänge oder durch menschliches Handeln, sondern auch der Mensch selbst, indem er heranwächst und altert. Ein Ziel des Buches ist in Analogie zum Umweltbewusstsein das Zeitbewusstsein zu stärken.
Zelfbeeldtraining voor kinderen en adolescenten: COMET (Competitive Memory Training) (Kind en adolescent praktijkreeks)
by Marije Kuin Paulien PetersIn deze herziene versie van de therapeutenhandleiding wordt de interventie Zelfbeeldtraining voor kinderen en adolescenten - Competitive Memory Training (COMET) theoretisch en praktisch uitgelegd. Zelfbeeldtraining voor kinderen en adolescenten is gebaseerd op de cognitief-gedragstherapeutische methode Competitive Memory Training (COMET) van Kees Korrelboom. Deze methode is bij het NJI (Nederlands Jeugd Instituut) als theoretisch goed onderbouwd bestempeld. Deelnemers werken aan positief denken, voelen en doen door positieve gevoelens op te roepen. Via contraconditonering wordt dit positieve zelfgevoel geactiveerd op moeilijke momenten. In deze herziene versie wordt geen verschil meer gemaakt tussen een individuele variant en een groepsvariant. Er is één variant, welke zowel individueel als groepsgewijs te gebruiken is. Daarnaast kunnen behandelaar en cliënt elke sessie zelf kiezen welke oefeningen nuttig zijn om positief denken, voelen en doen te stimuleren. Na het lezen van deze handleiding kan de behandelaar aan de slag met de interventie. Deze is toepasbaar bij zelfbeeldproblematiek, welke aanwezig en/of ten grondslag kan liggen aan bijvoorbeeld stemmingsproblemen, gedragsstoornissen en angststoornissen. Hiermee kunnen psychologen, orthopedagogen of andere hulpverleners kinderen en adolescenten meer zelfvertrouwen geven. Het bijbehorende werkboek is geschreven voor kinderen en jongeren vanaf 8 jaar tot in de jong volwassenheid.
Zig-Zag Boy: A Memoir of Madness and Motherhood
by Tanya Frank“By turns an eloquent meditation on the power of nature and a terrifying exposé of…parenting a mentally ill child into adulthood.” —New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice A compassionate, heartrending memoir of a mother’s quest to accept her son’s journey through psychosis. One night in 2009, Tanya Frank finds her nineteen-year-old son, Zach—gentle and full of promise—in the grip of what the psychiatrists would label a psychotic break. Suddenly and inexplicably, Tanya is thrown into a parallel universe: Zach’s world, where the phones are bugged, his friends have joined the Mafia, and helicopters are spying on his family. In the years following Zach’s shifting psychiatric diagnoses, Tanya goes to war for her son, desperate to find the right answer, the right drug, the right doctor to bring him back to reality. She struggles to navigate archaic mental healthcare systems, first in California and then in her native London during lockdown. Meanwhile, the boy she raised—the chatty, precocious dog-lover, the teenager who spent summers surfing with his big brother, the UCLA student—suffers the effects of multiple hospitalizations, powerful drugs that blunt his emotions, therapies that don’t work, and torturous nights on the streets. Holding on to startling moments of hope and seeking solace in nature and community, Tanya learns how to abandon her fears for the future and accept the mysteries of her son’s altered states. With tenderness, lyricism, and generous candor, this compelling story conveys the power of a mother’s love. Zig-Zag Boy is both a moving lamentation for things lost and a brave testament to the people we become in difficult circumstances.

Zwischen Vernunft und Illusion: Entmystifizierung der Schizophrenie
by Jorge Cândido Assis Cecília Cruz Villares Rodrigo Affonseca BressanIn diesem Buch finden Sie realistischen Erfahrungsbeispiele von Menschen, die mit Schizophrenie leben und von deren Familienangehörigen, die damit konfrontiert sind. Und zwar von der Erkennung der ersten Symptome bis zur Behandlung von Schizophrenie, die eine Form der Psychose ist und bei der subjektive Aspekte, wie Halluzinationen und Wahnvorstellungen, das Verständnis der Realität verzerren.Auch finden Sie darin Strategien zur Bewältigung. Und da psychotische Zustände im Laufe der Zeit in ihrer Intensität schwanken, leben die Betroffenen buchstäblich zwischen Vernunft und Illusion. Zwischen Vernunft und Illusion: Entmystifizierung der Schizophrenie ist eine Einladung zu verstehen, was es bedeutet, an Schizophrenie zu erkranken und ein Leben lang damit zu leben. Und dies ist eine Einladung an alle, die in irgendeiner Weise von dieser Krankheit betroffen sind: diejenigen, die damit leben, Familienmitglieder, Freunde, Gesundheitsfachleute und alle, die einen nicht stigmatisierten Blick auf psychische Störungen und Menschen, die damit leben, haben wollen. "Angesichts einer Psychose sind Betroffene und deren Familien verloren und suchen nach alternativer oder spiritueller Hilfe, was den Beginn der Behandlung meist verzögert. Jorge, Cecília und Rodrigo hatten den Mut, sich einem schwierigen Thema zu stellen, und die wunderbare Idee, ein aufklärendes Buch über Schizophrenie zu schreiben. Das besondere Merkmal des Buches liegt darin, dass es die Erfahrungen der Erkrankten sowie der Familienangehörigen berücksichtigt und angesichts des aktuell im Leben aufgetretenen Erkrankungsereignisses geschrieben wurde". - Dr. Itiro Shirakawa, emeritierter Professor der Paulista Medical School der Bundesuniversität von São Paulo (UNIFESP/EPM), Brasilien.
body rites: a holistic healing and embodiment workbook for Black survivors of sexual trauma
by shena j youngA written companion and workbook for readers seeking to reclaim their bodies as home in healing from sexual trauma. Body rites as a holistic healing journey, anchored in the practice of decolonizing healing and reclaiming body sovereignty, reaches back into indigenous roots and land-based healing. It centers remembering as a means of survival. This workbook is the first of its kind: a resource of rituals divided into four healing journeys for Black women, femmes, and nonbinary survivors of sexual assault. The experiential workbook moves beyond prescriptive self-help models by providing a gentle guide and liaison to explore the impact of sexual trauma on the mind, body, heart, and spirit. It is an invitation to heal holistically, drawing upon psychophysiology, lived body wisdom, trauma-informed embodiment practices, kinship and ancestral connections, and African spiritual practices. Most urgently, this book is a series of intimate conversations with your “self”; and remembrance that healing lives at the core of your intuition.
one long listening: a memoir of grief, friendship, and spiritual care
by Chenxing HanFor readers of The Wild Edge of Sorrow and Crying in H-Mart--a profound and searching memoir of life, loss, grief, and renewal from one of American Buddhism&’s most vital new voices. How do we grieve our losses? How can we care for our spirits? one long listening offers enduring companionship to all who ask these searing, timeless questions.Immigrant daughter, novice chaplain, bereaved friend: author Chenxing Han (Be the Refuge) takes us on a pilgrimage through the wilds of grief and laughter, pain and impermanence, reconnecting us to both the heartache and inexplicable brightness of being human.Eddying around three autumns of Han&’s life, one long listening journeys from a mountaintop monastery in Taiwan to West Coast oncology wards, from oceanside Ireland to riverfront Phnom Penh. Through letters to a dying friend, bedside chaplaincy visits, and memories of a migratory childhood, Han's startling, searching memoir cuts a singular portrait of a spiritual caregiver in training.Just as we touch the depths, bracing for resolution, Han&’s swift, multilingual prose sweeps us back to unknowingness: 不知最親切. Not knowing is most intimate. Chinese mothers, hillside graves. A dreamed olive tree, a lost Siberian crane. The music of scripts and silence. These shards--bright, broken, giddy, aching--are mirrors to our own lives in joy and sorrow.A testament to enduring connection by a fresh and urgent new literary voice, one long listening asks fearlessly into the stories we inhabit, the hopes we relinquish, and what it means simply to be, to and for the ones we love.

¿Puedo hablar de mi salud mental!
by Perra de Satán EsnorquelDos personas cucú te explican que ir al psicólogo no es ninguna locura. Desde su exitoso pódcast, ¿Puedo hablar!, Enrique Aparicio (Esnórquel) y Beatriz Cepeda (Perra de Satán) rompen tabúes y tratan con naturalidad cuestiones como la ansiedad, la depresión, los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria o la ideación suicida. El libro ¿Puedo hablar de mi salud mental! es el puente que quieren tender a todas las personas que intuyen que hay algo en su vida que falla, pero no se atreven a pedir ayuda. Su ejemplo, el de dos personas para las que la terapia ha sido fundamental, puede servir de impulso para quienes saben que deben arreglar algo en su cabeza, aunque no sepan bien lo que es. «Durante mucho tiempo creí que el sufrimiento era intrínseco a la vida, una consecuencia natural de hacerse mayor. En terapia empecé a deshacer el precario castillo de naipes sobre el que había construido mi visión del mundo: descubrí que ser gay y gordo no solo eran dos simpáticas circunstancias, sino partes de mi identidad que me habían expuesto a una serie de violencias que me condicionaban. La ayuda profesional me dado herramientas fundamentales. Por eso quiero que, si crees que la necesitas, acudas a ella cuanto antes». Enrique Aparicio, Esnórquel «Cuando empecé a engordar mi vida cambió por completo. Pasé de ser una niña sin problemas a una con un problema muy gordo. Nuestra sociedad hace creer a las niñas que engordar es algo muy grave contra lo que deben luchar. Cuando iba al médico y me quejaba de los nervios, ya que no sabía lo que era la ansiedad, le explicaba que sufría ataques, dolores de cabeza muy frecuentes y otros síntomas. La única respuesta que recibía era: Tienes que adelgazar, haz deporte y come menos. Acabé desarrollando un trastorno de la conducta alimentaria. Si he contado mi historia y he escrito este libro es para ponérselo más fácil a otras personas». Beatriz Cepeda, Perra de Satán
Übertriebene Verantwortlichkeit und psychische Störungen: Behandlungsleitfaden für Psychotherapie und Beratung (Psychotherapie: Praxis)

Μην ξεχνάς τον Στίβεν: A Quick-read Police Procedural Set In Picturesque Canada (Zachary Goldman Mysteries Ser. #Vol. 8)
by P. D. WorkmanΠοτέ δεν αποκάλυπτε τι συνέβαινε πίσω από τις κλειστές πόρτες. Αλλά αυτή τη φορά, του είναι αδύνατον να θυμηθεί. Τα πράγματα δεν ήταν ποτέ εύκολα για τον Στίβεν. Αυτό το αποδέχεται και κάνει ό,τι καλύτερο μπορεί. Μπορεί να μην έχει γονείς ή ένα ευτυχισμένο σπίτι ή αρκετά για να φάει τις περισσότερες μέρες. Αλλά τουλάχιστον έχει μερικούς πιστούς φίλους που του συμπαραστέκονται και τον βοηθούν όταν μπορούν. Και τουλάχιστον έχει σχολείο, ένα μέρος όπου μπορεί να πηγαίνει για να ξεφεύγει από την κακοποίηση. Αλλά εκεί που νόμιζε ότι τα πράγματα δεν μπορούσαν να γίνουν χειρότερα, έγιναν. Ο Στίβεν κατηγορείται για φόνο. Αλλά αυτό δεν είναι το χειρότερο. Το πραγματικά κακό είναι ότι δεν ξέρει καν αν τον έκανε αυτό το φόνο.
“All Will Be Swept Away”: Dimensions of Elegy in the Poetry of Paul Muldoon (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature)
by Wit PietrzakThe book offers the first comprehensive study of Paul Muldoon’s mourning verse. Considering not only the celebrated elegies like "Yarrow," "Incantata" or "Sillyhow Stride" but also the elegiac impulse as it develops throughout Muldoon’s entire work, All Will Be Swept Away charts a large swathe of Muldoon’s poetic landscape in order to show the complexity with which he approaches the themes of death and mourning. Using archival material as well as a vast array of theoretical apparatuses, the book unveils the psychological, literary and political undertones in his poetry, all the while attending to the operations of the poetic text: its form, its music and its capacity to console, warn and censure.

Waiting for Mister Rogers: Teaching with Attachment, Attunement, and Intention

Can teachers go deeper while doing less?It's time to remember childhood, return to the Neighborhood and teach with attachment, attunement, and intention. Mister Rogers was right all along!
Lessons from the Legends: New Applications from the Timeless Wisdom of John Wooden and Pat Summitt
by Brian BiroNCAA and SEC championship-winning American college basketball coaches Pat Summitt and John Wooden exemplified the essential values of humility, loyalty, encouragement, respect, honesty, confidence, curiosity, and the competitive spirit—to name a few.

"Revolution in Poetic Language" Fifty Years Later: New Directions in Kristeva Studies (SUNY series in Gender Theory)
by Emilia AngelovaIn her 1974 Revolution in Poetic Language, Julia Kristeva resisted the abstract use of language, with its aim of totalization and finality, in all its colonizing and alienating forms. A major thinker and critic, Kristeva reappropriated Hegel's concepts of desire and negativity, in conjunction with the thought of Heidegger, Arendt, Freud, and Lacan, to revolt against modernity's culture of nihilism and the West's inability to deal with loss. This collection celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of Revolution in Poetic Language by revisiting Kristeva's oeuvre and establishing exciting new directions in Kristeva studies. Engaging with queer and transgender studies, disability studies, decolonial studies, and more, renowned and rising scholars plot continuities in—and push the boundaries of—Kristeva's thinking about loss, revolution, and revolt. The volume also includes two essays by Kristeva, translated into English for the first time here—"The Impossibility of Loss" (1988) and "Of What Use Are Poets in Times of Distress?" (2016).
