Mental Health and the Church: A Ministry Handbook for Including Children and Adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, and Other Common Mental Health Conditions
by Stephen GrcevichThe church across North America has struggled to minister effectively with children, teens, and adults with common mental health conditions and their families. One reason for the lack of ministry is the absence of a widely accepted model for mental health outreach and inclusion.

The model is based upon recognition of seven barriers to church attendance and assimilation resulting from mental illness: stigma, anxiety, self-control, differences in social communication and sensory processing, social isolation and past experiences of church. Seven broad inclusion strategies are presented for helping persons of all ages with common mental health conditions and their families to fully participate in all of the ministries offered by the local church. The book is also designed to be a useful resource for parents, grandparents and spouses interested in promoting the spiritual growth of loved ones with mental illness.

Mentalisieren in der Heimerziehung: Eine qualitative Untersuchung zu reflexiven Prozessen bei pädagogischen Fachkräften
by Noëlle BehringerDas Buch versteht sich als Beitrag zur mentalisierungsbasierten Pädagogik, die als noch recht junges pädagogisches Konzept der Prämisse folgt, dass durch eine mentalisierende Haltung von Fachkräften ein reflexiver Bezugsrahmen etabliert wird, der zu professionellem Handeln in der pädagogischen Arbeit mit belasteten Kindern und Jugendlichen beiträgt. Im Rahmen eines qualitativen Forschungsdesigns wurden mentalisierungsfokussierte Fallbesprechungen in einer stationären Jugendhilfeeinrichtung durchgeführt und auf Mentalisierungsprozesse sowie deren Bedingungsfaktoren hin untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass gelingende Mentalisierungsprozesse sowohl von den Fachkräften selbst als auch von reflexionsanregenden Interventionen der Forscherin initiiert werden. Scheiternde Mentalisierungsprozesse zeigten sich zumeist bei Konflikten unter den Fachkräften oder beim Thematisieren von Kränkungen und Grenzüberschreitungen durch die betreuten Jugendlichen. Aus den Erkenntnissen werden Implikationen für die Gestaltung mentalisierungsfokussierter Fallbesprechungen in der Heimerziehung in Form von Leitsätzen, einem Leitfaden und einer Fragensammlung abgeleitet.
