This book critically examines why a human rights framework would improve the wellbeing and status of young people. It explores children¿s rights to provision, protection, and participation from human rights and clinical sociological perspectives, and from historical to contemporary events. It discusses how different ideologies have shaped the way we view children and their place in society, and how, despite the rhetoric of children's protection, people under 18 years of age experience more poverty, violence, and oppression than other group in society. The book points to the fact that the USA is the only member of the United Nations not to ratify a children¿s human rights treaty; and the impact of this decision finds US children less healthy and less safe than children in other developed countries. It shows how a rights-respecting framework could be created to improve the lives of our youngest citizens ¿ and the future of democracy. Authored by a renowned clinical sociologist and international human rights scholar, this book is of interest to researchers, students, social workers and policymakers working in the area of children's wellbeing and human rights.

This book takes the reader from basic questions like ¿What is health?¿ and ¿What is a psychiatric disorder?¿, into the midst of people¿s present mental health and enhancement choices. More and more people receive psychiatric diagnoses and the use of psychopharmacological drugs keeps increasing. Concurrently, media report the popularity of ¿brain doping¿ or ¿study drugs¿ on campuses as well as at the workplace. This open access book tests the hypothesis of whether mental health and enhancement can be seen as two sides of the same coin: that the demands on cognitive and emotional functioning have been increasing and psychoactive substances are used to meet these demands.Whether the increasing number of diagnoses means that really more people are suffering from psychological problems will be discussed just as whether the media accurately describe ¿brain doping¿ as a new and rising trend. An individual section describes non-pharmacological alternatives to maintain and increase one¿smental well-being. To answer these and many more questions, the author critically reviews evidence from epidemiology, psychiatry, and psychology.That people with and without psychiatric diagnoses are often using the same substances ¿ for example, the stimulant drugs Adderall or Ritalin ¿ to cope with their problems is presented as evidence to look beyond the traditional distinction between disorder, health, and enhancement. Likewise, different meanings of ¿drug¿ in historical and present contexts illustrate that the way we think of mental health and (il)legitimate drug use reflects our own culture. The book¿s focus on addiction/substance use disorders makes it also relevant to the ongoing discussion of drug policy.

There are over 55,000 posts about #MentalHealth on TikTok, viewed by more than 188 million users. This shows that mental health awareness is becoming a hot topic for many young people.With all of this content flooding the internet, it is becoming easier for teens to find peers who are faced with similar psychological issues. But more often than not, they are still left confused about how to respond to these challenges in positive ways.What seems to be lacking isn't education about stress or anxiety, but rather effective cognitive, emotional, and behavioral skills to confront obstacles head on. Above and beyond the guidance offered by friends, parents, and schoolteachers, teens can also benefit from learning how to improve their reactions to stressful situations.Beyond Coping Skills: The Ultimate Teens' Workbook is an easy-to-use self-directed therapy workbook that can help teenagers aged 13-19 practice core CBT and DBT skills from the comfort of their own bedrooms.Yes, that's right! In this digital age, where there is an app for virtually everything, and information is available at the touch of a button, therapy has become more affordable and accessible online!Several studies have proven the success of both CBT and DBT in managing stress, regulating strong emotions, and modifying behaviors-and the best part is that the same skills taught in a counseling room can be practiced at home too!Over the course of 5 chapters, 28 journal prompts, and 50 exercises, teens can look forward to learning:The power of the pause when sensing triggers and managing impulsive urges.How to identify and detach from unwanted thoughts and emotions.Strategies on how to define, brainstorm, and implement solutions for everyday life problems.How to develop self-respect through boundary setting and positive conflict resolution.The purpose of this workbook is to mentally prepare teens for unexpected and ongoing stressful situations they may face at home or at school. Through a powerful combination of CBT and DBT skills, they will be able to walk away with knowledge on how to reflect, reframe, and readjust their thoughts and emotions to achieve desired goals.

Allzu oft hat die Ausbildung in kultureller Kompetenz zu einer unbeabsichtigten Ausgrenzung einiger Personen und Gruppen und zur Verstärkung bestehender Stereotypen geführt. Dieser Text erforscht das Konzept der kulturellen Demut, das einen spannenden Weg nach vorne für diejenigen bietet, die in helfenden Berufen tätig sind. Im Gegensatz zu kultureller Kompetenz fordert kulturelle Demut den Einzelnen heraus, sich auf einen lebenslangen Kurs der Selbstprüfung und des transformativen Lernens einzulassen, der es ihm ermöglicht, authentischer mit Klienten, Patienten, Kollegen und anderen umzugehen. Das Buch zeichnet unser Verständnis von und unsere Reaktionen auf Vielfalt und Integration im Laufe der Zeit nach, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf den Vereinigten Staaten liegt.Zu den untersuchten Themen gehören:Wir und die Anderen: Die Konstruktion von KategorienKulturelle Kompetenz als Ansatz zum Verstehen von UnterschiedenTransformatives Lernen durch kulturelle BescheidenheitFörderung von kultureller Demut im institutionellen/organisatorischen KontextKulturelle Demut und die helfende FachkraftDas Buch zeigt anhand von Beispielen, wie das Konzept der kulturellen Bescheidenheit auf institutioneller Ebene und im Kontext individueller Interaktionen, z. B. zwischen einem Gesundheitsdienstleister oder Therapeuten und einem Klienten, umgesetzt werden kann.Diversität, kulturelle Demut und die helfenden Berufe: Building Bridges Across Difference" ist eine unverzichtbare Lektüre für Gesundheitsberufe (Krankenpflege, Medizin), Sozialarbeit, Psychologie, Kunsttherapie und andere helfende Berufe.

Dieses Buch untersucht aktuelle Trends und Praktiken im Bereich der Vermittlung sozialer Kompetenzen für Menschen mit Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen (ASS) und konzentriert sich dabei auf die empirische Unterstützung aktueller Praktiken und darauf, für welche Bevölkerungsgruppen diese Praktiken am häufigsten evaluiert wurden (z. B. Alter, Funktionsniveau). Es werden die wichtigsten Praktiken beschrieben, die als Lehrstrategien für soziale Fähigkeiten eingesetzt werden können, sowie die theoretischen Grundlagen der Lehrstrategien, die relevante empirische Unterstützung und ein Leitfaden für die Anwendung, der sich auf die empirischen Bewertungen stützt. Diese Leitfäden sind ein praktisches Hilfsmittel für die Umsetzung der allgemein evaluierten Lehrstrategien für soziale Kompetenzen. Darüber hinaus beschreibt das Buch die Grenzen des Lehrens sozialer Kompetenzen und gibt Empfehlungen für künftige Forschungs- und Interventionsstrategien, die die derzeitigen Grenzen überwinden könnten.Zu den wichtigsten Themen gehören:Videomodellierung und Training sozialer Fertigkeiten für Menschen mit ASD.Training von Verhaltensfähigkeiten bei ASD.Peer-vermittelter Unterricht für Menschen mit Autismus.Soziale Narrative von Menschen mit ASD.Social Skills Teaching for Individuals with Autism ist ein unverzichtbares Hilfsmittel für Forscher, Professoren und Studenten sowie für Kliniker, Therapeuten und andere Fachleute aus den Bereichen klinische Kinder- und Schulpsychologie, Verhaltenstherapie/Rehabilitation, Sozialarbeit, öffentliches Gesundheitswesen und allen damit zusammenhängenden Disziplinen.

Die Bindung zwischen Mensch und Tier kann als eine dynamische, für beide Seiten vorteilhafte Beziehung zwischen Menschen und den Tieren, für die sie sorgen, beschrieben werden. Es gibt eine Vielzahl von Vorteilen für die geistige und körperliche Gesundheit von Menschen, die sich um Tiere kümmern, und es hat sich gezeigt, dass Tiere in der Therapie einem breiten Spektrum von Menschen und Krankheiten helfen können. Obwohl die Vorteile der Tierbegleitung seit langem vermutet werden, ist wenig über die Forschung, den Prozess und die Gründe für die Wirkung bekannt. Dieses Buch bietet Klinikern einen Überblick über die Geschichte der Mensch-Tier-Bindung und die Gründe für die Einbeziehung von Tieren in die heutige Therapie.In diesem Buch geht der Autor auch auf die unzähligen Möglichkeiten ein, mit denen Kliniker Menschen bei der Betreuung ihrer Haustiere direkt helfen können, z. B. Kriseninterventionsdienste, politische Fragen, Trauerberatung bei Tierverlust und Mitgefühlsermüdung in der Tierärzteschaft. Außerdem wird die tiergestützte Therapie (AAT) als eigenständige und einzigartige Modalität eingehend erörtert. Der anpassungsfähige Charakter der AAT ist nicht nur auf die symbiotische Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Tier zurückzuführen, sondern auch auf die Flexibilität des Modells; es kann bei Klienten aller Bevölkerungsgruppen und bei den meisten psychischen Erkrankungen eingesetzt werden. Untersuchungen zeigen, dass die Mehrheit der Psychotherapeuten die AAT für eine gültige Behandlungsmethode hält, aber es gibt noch kein Handbuch für die AAT, und die Kliniker wissen nicht, wo sie anfangen sollen. Die Mensch-Tier-Bindung in der klinischen Sozialarbeitspraxis ist ein einzigartiges und unverzichtbares Hilfsmittel, das Richtlinien für die Entwicklung von AAT-Behandlungsplänen und die Integration von AAT in bestehende therapeutische Modelle enthält. Das Buch beantwortet die Fragen, die Sozialarbeiter, Psychologen, Psychiater und andere Berater im Bereich der psychischen Gesundheit zu den Vorteilen der Mensch-Tier-Bindung und zu den Möglichkeiten, diese besondere Bindung in der direkten Praxis zu nutzen, haben können.

In this book, Windy Dryden explains why he now refers to the single-session therapy work that he does as ONEplus therapy. Two consistent themes that run through the book are that help is best provided at point of client need and that while therapist and client agree to work together to provide the help the client wants in one session (the ONE in ONEplus therapy), further help is available on request (the plus in ONEplus therapy). In the first part of the book, Windy details what a therapist needs to do to become a ONEplus (SST) therapist. In discussing the knowledge that a trainee needs, he places the ONEplus (SST) therapy mindset at the heart of this part of the training process. Then, he discusses the general skills that trainees need to acquire to practise effectively in this area. Next, he outlines the different forms of supervision available to trainee and trained ONEplus (SST) therapists. In the second part of the book, Windy discusses what independent practitioners and therapy agencies need to do to lay the foundations for the practice of ONEplus (SST) therapy. In the next part, Windy discusses the practice of ONEplus therapy and presents the specific skills associated with the effective practice of ONEplus therapy that stem from the mindset discussed previously. In doing so, Windy adopts a process view outlining the skills needed to begin the process, facilitate change and to bring the session to a successful conclusion. In the final part of the book, Windy makes the point that different therapists will be informed by different ideas in their practice of ONEplus (SST) therapy and discusses the 30 ideas that inform his practice in this area. While Windy Dryden has published several books on SST, ONEplus Therapy: Help at the Point of Need is perhaps the book that best captures his personal views and idiosyncratic practice of this exciting form of therapy delivery as well as providing the core text for his Certificate in SST courses.

This book is a guide for individuals affected by eating disorders and their families on how to use exposure therapy to address the eating disorder. Exposure therapy is a treatment approach that involves confronting (rather than avoiding) challenging scenarios that evoke distress. When patients confront these distressing scenarios, although it is difficult for them, they are able to learn that their distress often decreases and they are able to tolerate this distress better than imagined.

As you have arrived at this book description it is likely that you are a therapist, or someone who is concerned about the wellbeing of therapists. If you are a therapist, then the chances are that you are struggling in some way. If so, you are not alone. Therapy is tremendously rewarding work. At the same time though, it is extraordinarily demanding. As a result, each year, many previously committed therapists burn out in their roles, or leave feeling discouraged and dispirited. This is a book for anyone whose voluntary or paid work involves elements of counselling or 'talk therapy'. The aim of this book is to help you spot, navigate, and overcome the common emotional challenges of counselling and therapy, so that you can continue to love the work, effectively support clients, and grow professionally and personally. Clinical psychologist and author, S. J. Southwell, draws on thirty years working in welfare, community, education, and mental health settings. She outlines the key personal, practical, and professional issues that contribute to therapist distress and disenchantment, and provides a wealth of suggestions to support therapists avoid or address the common challenges that arise on their professional journey. The first section encourages you to reflect on different aspects of your life that affect your work as a therapist. These include your habitual thinking patterns and responses, in Chapter 1, and your personal history and current physical and mental health, in Chapter 2. The second section takes a look at what happens in the therapy space, especially when it is likely to affect the wellbeing of the therapist. This includes Chapter 3, which explores the situations in which therapy tends to be particularly hard or slow, and Chapter 4, on three ways in which client work can have particularly powerful and disturbing effects on therapists, transference and countertransference, vicarious trauma, and moral injury. The final section addresses broader aspects of our professional experience, including our work context, in Chapter 5. The remaining chapters in this section address professional crises, including taking on too much client work too soon, and burnout, in Chapter 6, and professional crises of faith, in Chapter 7. The book assumes that if you are having struggles in these areas, you have already set aside time to reflect, that you are using all the therapeutic strategies and skills you have available to support yourself, that you have clinical supervision, you are engaging in regular and appropriate professional development training, and that you have a self-care plan. Of course, it is much easier to write this list of essentials than it is for anyone to put them all in place. They are so important that we return to them in the final chapter, Chapter 8, with some practical suggestions for how to consolidate your practice in these areas.

The book includes information from interviews with key researchers, parents of autistic children and people with autism.

Was sind Hormone und welche Bedeutung haben sie für die Psyche bzw. unser Verhalten? Beeinflussen Hormone unsere Psyche bzw. unser Verhalten? Kann unser Verhalten unsere Hormone beeinflussen? Besteht ein Zusammenhang zwischen Hormonen und psychischen Störungen? In diesem Buch wird das Wechselspiel zwischen neurobiologischen Grundlagen psychischen Erlebens und Verhaltens, den endokrinen Vorgängen sowie psychosozialen Umwelteinflüssen gezeigt. Dabei wird die Grundlagenforschung, sowohl der wissenschaftlichen Disziplin Endokrinologie als auch der Psychoneuroendokrinologie dargestellt und so erläutert, dass auch Leserinnen ohne medizinische oder neurobiologische Vorkenntnisse diese komplexen Wissenschaften verstehen. Dieses Buch zeigt zum ersten Mal, wie diese interdisziplinären Erkenntnisse in einen biopsychosozialen Coachingansatz implementiert werden können, der sowohl zur Aufrechterhaltung als auch zur Förderung der psychischen Gesundheit dient. Ein Coachingansatz, der für die psychosoziale und für die psychotherapeutische Praxis geeignet ist.

This book explores an under-researched but vital part of education: the first year at primary/elementary school. The work shows that children¿s progress varies enormously from school to school, class to class and child to child. This variation is important because the more progress that children make in that first year of school, the higher their academic attainment at the end of compulsory schooling. The iPIPS (international Performance Indicators in Primary Schools) project, upon which this book is based, has been able to provide deeper insights into some of the key issues within and across different contexts whilst highlighting new and some ongoing issues. Despite all the work there remain unanswered or new puzzling issues which are also explored. We need to know how to improve the education at that stage and, more broadly, we need greater clarity about when children should be taught to read and be introduced to formal arithmetic, in other words, when they should start school. We also need to be clearer about whether, when and how young children should be assessed. The book will suggest some answers but it will raise important questions and dilemmas for which we do not, as yet, have answers.
