Das Burnout-Syndrom: Theorie der inneren Erschöpfung - Zahlreiche Fallbeispiele - Hilfen zur Selbsthilfe
by Matthias BurischDer Lehrer, der eines Tages keinen Schritt mehr in die Schule setzen kann, die Managerin, die sich morgens schon geschafft wie nach einem 12-Stunden-Tag fühlt, der Krankenpfleger, der nur noch zynisch über seine Patienten spricht - sie alle könnten unter Burnout leiden. Burnout ist ein Phänomen, das in jedem Beruf und in beinahe jeder Lebenslage auftreten kann: bei Lehrern und Pflegepersonal, bei Künstlern und Entwicklungshelfern, aber auch bei Ingenieuren und Professorinnen. Und die ersten Stadien haben fast alle schon einmal erlebt. Burisch hat als Experte für die Thematik eine umfassende Theorie des Burnout-Syndroms entwickelt, die er auf sehr lebendige und mit Fallbeispielen veranschaulichte Weise darstellt. Dabei spricht er sowohl Fachleute als auch Betroffene an - trotz hohen theoretischen Niveaus verliert er nie den Bezug zu Alltagserfahrungen aus dem Auge. Geschrieben für Betroffene und Interessierte, klinische Psychologen, psychologische und ärztliche Psychotherapeuten, Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologen, Mitarbeiter in Beratungsstellen.

Age-appropriate Driver Assistance Systems: Technical, Psychological and Business Aspects
by Dieter Schramm Heike Proff Matthias BrandPeople in highly developed countries are getting older and older. They want to be mobile in old age, but often have problems in road traffic. Even though they often pay a premium for age-appropriate products that increase safety, the demand for driver assistance systems among older drivers has so far been low. This book summarises the results of the ALFASY (ALtersgerechte FAhrerassistenzSYsteme) project, in which an acoustic driver assistance system is being developed and built to meet the needs of the steadily growing group of older drivers. Technical, psychological and economic aspects were investigated.
Altersgerechte Fahrerassistenzsysteme: Technische, psychologische und betriebswirtschaftliche Aspekte
by Dieter Schramm Heike Proff Matthias BrandMenschen in hoch entwickelten Ländern werden immer älter. Sie möchten im Alter mobil sein, haben jedoch oftmals Probleme im Straßenverkehr. Auch wenn sie häufig für altersgerechte Produkte, die die Sicherheit erhöhen, einen Aufpreis bezahlen, ist die Nachfrage nach Fahrerassistenzsystemen bei älteren Autofahrern bislang gering. Das Buch fasst Ergebnisse des Projektes ALFASY (ALtersgerechte FAhrerassistenzSYsteme) zusammen, in dem ein akustisches Fahrerassistenzsystem für die Bedürfnisse der stetig wachsenden Gruppe der älteren Fahrerinnen und Fahrer (50 Jahre und älter) entwickelt und aufgebaut wird. Untersucht wurden technische, psychologische und betriebswirtschaftliche Aspekte.
An Economist’s Guide to Economic History (Palgrave Studies in Economic History)
by Matthias Blum Christopher L. ColvinWithout economic history, economics runs the risk of being too abstract or parochial, of failing to notice precedents, trends and cycles, of overlooking the long-run and thus misunderstanding ‘how we got here’. Recent financial and economic crises illustrate spectacularly how the economics profession has not learnt from its past.This important and unique book addresses this problem by demonstrating the power of historical thinking in economic research. Concise chapters guide economics lecturers and their students through the field of economic history, demonstrating the use of historical thinking in economic research, and advising them on how they can actively engage with economic history in their teaching and learning.Blum and Colvin bring together important voices in the field to show readers how they can use their existing economics training to explore different facets of economic history. Each chapter introduces a question or topic, historical context or research method and explores how they can be used in economics scholarship and pedagogy. In a century characterised to date by economic uncertainty, bubbles and crashes, An Economist’s Guide to Economic History is essential reading.For further information visit http://www.blumandcolvin.org

Affect Regulation Training: A Practitioners' Manual
by Matthias Berking Brian WhitleyEmotion Regulation is currently one of the most popular topics in clinical psychology. Numerous studies demonstrate that deficits in emotion regulation skills are likely to help maintain various forms of psychological disorders. Thus, enhancing emotion regulation has become a major target in psychotherapeutic treatments. For this purpose, a number of therapeutic strategies have been developed and shown to be effective. However, for practitioners it is often difficult to decide which of these strategies they should use or how they can effectively combine empirically-validated strategies. Thus, the authors developed the Affect Regulation Training as a transdiagnostic intervention which systematically integrates strategies from cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, emotion-focused therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy. The effectiveness of ART has been demonstrated in several high-quality studies.
Emotieregulatie bij kinderen en adolescenten in de praktijk: Leidraad voor het begrijpen, versterken en trainen van emotieregulatie
by Caroline Braet Matthias BerkingDit boek biedt een effectieve emotieregulatietraining voor kinderen en adolescenten tussen de 10 en 16 jaar. Het is een leidraad voor het begrijpen, versterken en trainen van emotieregulatie. Emotieregulatie bij kinderen en adolescenten in de praktijk beschrijft de meest recente inzichten met betrekking tot emotieregulatie. Het laat zien waarom kinderen en adolescenten moeite kunnen hebben om emoties te reguleren en hoe zich dit kan uiten. Sommige kinderen reageren agressief, anderen gaan erover piekeren, terwijl weer andere kinderen ze proberen te vermijden door overmatig te eten of te gamen. Dit wordt geïllustreerd aan de hand van voorbeelden uit diverse klinische groepen (jongeren met angst, depressie, burn-out, eetstoornissen, obesitas, verslaving of gedragsproblemen). In het praktische deel van het boek wordt de toepassing van de evidence-based emotieregulatietraining EuREKA beschreven. De training bestaat uit 12 sessies waarbij technieken om de eigen emoties beter te reguleren in een vaste volgorde aan kinderen en adolescenten worden aangeleerd. De sessies zijn uitgewerkt in het bijbehorende Werkboek emotieregulatie bij kinderen en adolescenten in de praktijk. Ook bevat het boek tips voor zowel ouders als leerkrachten waarmee zij kinderen kunnen helpen bij het reguleren van hun emoties. Emotieregulatie bij kinderen en adolescenten in de praktijk is bestemd voor behandelaren zoals (GZ-)psychologen, orthopedagogen, paramedici, jeugdartsen en psychiaters, en zij die daartoe in opleiding zijn. Daarnaast is het een waardevol boek voor iedereen die in de praktijk werkt met kinderen en adolescenten. Deze tweede editie van Emotieregulatie bij kinderen en adolescenten in de praktijk is geheel geactualiseerd. De nieuwste wetenschappelijke inzichten en ervaringen uit de praktijk zijn verwerkt in deze nieuwe editie.

Emotieregulatietraining bij kinderen en adolescenten: Therapeutenboek
by Caroline Braet Matthias BerkingDit boek Emotieregulatie; Training van kinderen en adolescenten, beschrijft een concreet stappenplan van een goed geëvalueerde emotieregulatietraining. Het boek is gericht op psychotherapeuten, klinisch psychologen, GZ-psychologen, orthopedagogen en psychiaters. U leest in dit boek alle recente inzichten over goede emotieregulatiemethodieken en hoe deze toe te passen. Hieruit wordt duidelijk dat emotieregulatie méér is dan praten over gevoelens en ontspanningsoefeningen doen. Het resultaat is een training in 12 sessies waarbij geëvalueerde methodieken in een vaste volgorde worden aangeleerd en aangepast zijn aan de doelgroep: kinderen en adolescenten tussen 10 en 16 jaar. De auteurs vormen samen de Gentse onderzoeksgroep ‘Klinische Ontwikkelingspychologie’. Ze werden getraind door Matthias Berking die het boek Emotieregulatie schreef dat eerder in 2017 is verschenen. In Emotieregulatie; Training van kinderen en adolescenten wordt uitgelegd hoe het komt dat emoties zo overweldigend kunnen zijn dat kinderen ze niet meer goed kunnen reguleren. Sommige kinderen worden dan agressief, terwijl anderen blijven hangen in hun gevoel en gaan rumineren. Weer anderen zijn bang voor hun gevoelens en proberen ze te vermijden, bijvoorbeeld door ze weg te drinken of te eten. Dit boek legt uit waarom sommige kinderen en adolescenten emoties wel adequaat kunnen reguleren en anderen niet. Hierbij wordt de link met de ontwikkeling van psychopathologie gelegd. In het theoretische deel wordt vooraf ook uiteengezet wat emotieregulatie is, hoe het ontwikkelt in de kindertijd, hoe het wordt gemeten, en hoe het een rol speelt (transdiagnostisch) in heel veel probleemgebieden in de kindertijd.

The Neuropathology of Schizophrenia
by Matthew WilliamsIn the past few decades, neuropathology has witnessed a resurgence. The rise of structural and functional imaging techniques has allowed pathological studies to target regions of special interest as revealed by whole-brain techniques, and the development of comprehensive software packages has facilitated cellular and pathological measurements. Furthermore, a new generation of antibodies and improved staining methods has made the field more accessible to researchers and revealed more detail than could once have been envisaged. Perhaps most important of all has been the sourcing of high-quality tissue through modern, large-scale databases covering multiple tissue banks, removing much of the heterogeneity that had made repeat studies all but impossible. The Neuropathology of Schizophrenia reviews the field following these recent improvements in techniques and contrasting more modern methods against older studies. This book presents the current state of neuropathological knowledge in schizophrenia by means of examination of neuropathology as informed by functional systems. It starts by considering the frontal cortical region, a particularly well-examined region of the brain, before moving through other cortical regions, subcortical pathways and the deep white matter. In addition, potential new routes for investigation are considered, particularly in glial cells.
The Self and Social Relations
by Matthew WhittinghamThis book is concerned with the human individual and her relationship with the communities of which she is a member. It argues against the traditional atomistic view that individuals are essentially independent of the social relations into which they enter, and instead argues for the holistic view that we are essentially social beings who cannot exist apart from normative communities. Matthew Whittingham engages in a sustained exploration and criticism of the classic Western picture of epistemology. He argues instead that communities ground the possibility of our forming a conception of the world and ourselves, that those social relations open up a range of affective responses and forms of action that would otherwise be impossible, they enable us to know and reason about the world, and they make possible the daily struggles for freedom and self-realization that are familiar to us all and find their most powerful expression in major social movements.
Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams
by Matthew Walker<P>The first sleep book by a leading scientific expert—Professor Matthew Walker, Director of UC Berkeley’s Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab—reveals his groundbreaking exploration of sleep, explaining how we can harness its transformative power to change our lives for the better. <P>Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life—eating, drinking, and reproducing—the purpose of sleep remained elusive. An explosion of scientific discoveries in the last twenty years has shed new light on this fundamental aspect of our lives. <P>Now, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker gives us a new understanding of the vital importance of sleep and dreaming. Within the brain, sleep enriches our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite. Dreaming mollifies painful memories and creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge to inspire creativity. Walker answers important questions about sleep: how do caffeine and alcohol affect sleep? What really happens during REM sleep? Why do our sleep patterns change across a lifetime? How do common sleep aids affect us and can they do long-term damage? <P>Charting cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and synthesizing decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood, and energy levels; regulate hormones; prevent cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes; slow the effects of aging; increase longevity; enhance the education and lifespan of our children, and boost the efficiency, success, and productivity of our businesses. Clear-eyed, fascinating, and accessible, Why We Sleep is a crucial and illuminating book. <P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>

Freud's Requiem: Mourning, Memory, and the Invisible History of a Summer Walk
by Matthew Von UnwerthThis absorbing, thoughtful narrative, explores Sigmund Freud's provocative ideas on creativity and mortality and their roots in his history, while searching for broader lessons about love, memory, mourning, and creativity. Written in 1915 during winter and wartime, Freud's little-known essay On Transience records an afternoon conversation with `a young but already famous poet' and his `taciturn friend' about mortality, eternity, and the `sense' of life. In Freud's Requiem, the philosophical disagreement between Freud and his companions-who may have been the poet Rainer Maria Rilke and his muse and former lover Lou Andreas-Salome-becomes a prism through which to consider Freud's creativity as a response to his own experiences, from his passionately curious, love struck teenage years to his death after a long struggle with cancer in 1939. Drawing on a variety of literary and historical sources-Homer, Goethe, as well as Freud's own writings, including his letters-Freud's Requiem is both an intimate personal drama and a spirited intellectual inquiry. By tracing connections among Freud's ideas, his personality, and the world he lived in, Matthew von Unwerth examines the links that Freud made between art and memory. Freud's Requiem contemplates how, in mourning, we tell stories about our lives that give form and meaning to the events and feelings that threaten to overwhelm us. In recounting our stories, especially our darkest moments, we make sense of them and reclaim lost aspects of our lives, just as Freud did in his account of an afternoon walk with a poet and a taciturn companion.

Self and Identity: An Exploration of the Development, Constitution and Breakdown of Human Selfhood (Explorations in Mental Health)
by Matthew TieuWhat is a self? What does it mean to have selfhood? What is the relationship between selfhood and identity? These are puzzling questions that philosophers, psychologists, social scientists, and many other researchers often grapple with. Self and Identity is a book that explores and brings together relevant ideas on selfhood and identity, while also helping to clarify some important and long standing scientific and philosophical debates. It will enable readers to understand the difference between selves in humans and other animals, and the different selves that we come to possess from when we are born to when we become old. It also explains how and why the self might break down due to mental illness, thereby providing insight into how we might treat illnesses such as dementia and depression, both of which are conditions that fundamentally affect our selfhood. Taking an important step towards clarifying our understanding of human selfhood and applying it to mental illness, this book will be of great interest to researchers and postgraduate students exploring philosophical questions of selfhood, as well as those examining the connection to clinical disorders.

Cognition in Education (Ed Psych Insights)
by Matthew T. McCrudden Danielle S. McNamaraThere is commonly-held belief that some people learn better than others because they are born that way. However, research indicates that many people who learn better are simply more strategic: they use effective strategies and techniques to improve their learning. Further, these strategies and techniques can be taught to students. Thus, understanding how we learn enriches our lives and the lives of others. Written by leading experts on learning, this book situates this topic within the broader context of educational psychology research and brings it to a wider audience. With chapters on how the mind works, evidence-based recommendations about how to enhance learning from both the perspective of students and teachers, and clear explanations of key learning concepts and ideas, this short volume is designed for any education course that includes learning in the curriculum. It is indispensable for pre- and in-service teachers and student researchers alike.
