Children are born into a social context that is not of their choosing. From early childhood, this context is made up of diverse group experiences that play a crucial role in shaping a person's social life and desire to learn. This makes the group context an ideal setting for therapeutic and educational work, especially with children and adolescents. This volume offers numerous practical suggestions for using the group as a helpful and supportive medium, e.g., in parent-infant/toddler groups, parent/caregiver groups, groups with children or adolescents, and in preventive group work in schools. The contributions provide insights into the diversity and complexity of conceptual, group analytic work with children's, youth and parents' groups, and show how this work can be successful in outpatient settings, clinics, youth services, counseling centers, or schools. The combination of basic and applied knowledge makes this anthology an indispensable reference for any practitioner.With contributions by Andreas Opitz, Anke Mühle, Birgitt Ballhausen-Scharf, Dietrich Winzer, Hans Georg Lehle, Christoph Müller, Beate Schnabel, Anja Khalil, Carla Weber, Christoph Radaj, Dietlind, Köhncke, Franziska Schöpfer, Furi Kharbirpour, Gerhild Ohrnberger, Harald Weilnböck, Horst Wenzel, Kadir Kaynak, Matthias Wenck, Thomas Schneider, Tilman Sprondel, Ursula Pröbsting.

Depression in New Mothers, Volume 1: Causes, Consequences, and Risk Factors provides a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to understanding symptoms and risk factors of depression, anxiety, and PTSD in perinatal women.

ARE YOU LISTENING TO WHAT SHE'S NOT SAYING? Caught between worrying about how she feels and desperately working to portray the image of a good mother, a perfect mother, a mother who knows what's she's doing, the postpartum woman in distress is more likely to choose silence or minimization over disclosure. She will allow her suffering--her dark mood, scary intrusive thoughts, intense anxiety, excessive monitoring of the baby, feelings of inadequacy, grief over lost independence, thoughts of harming herself or the baby, and even delusions and hallucinations--to fly under the radar in exchange for a calm and collected exterior. Even if she's worried about how she feels. Even if she and her baby are in danger. The Perinatal Patient seeks to change that. Co-written by world-renowned maternal mental health expert Karen Kleiman and her highly accomplished mentee at The Postpartum Stress Center, Hilary Waller, this book offers revolutionary, compassionate guidance into the nuanced assessment and treatment of mental health symptoms postpartum--a critical period that does not offer the luxury of time. Filled with case studies, worksheets, and handouts for both patients and providers, this invaluable resource will help you: - Increase the likelihood that patients will disclose how they're feeling - Differentiate between "normal" perinatal experiences and more serious symptoms - Normalize and respond effectively to mothers' intrusive thoughts - Decrease mothers' feelings of isolation and help them build their social support systems - Determine when to refer a mother to a higher level of care - Navigate the complexities of infertility, pregnancy loss, and medical complications post birth - And more!

"In Keep Breathing, Dr. Kate Truitt, a renowned psychologist, applied neuroscientist, and trauma expert, shares her story of unimaginable loss, trauma, and, ultimately, healing. Faced with the sudden, gut-wrenching death of her fiancâe just one week before their wedding day, Kate found her world shattered, catapulting her into a deep void of profound grief, trauma, shock, and guilt. Part memoir and part scientific exploration, Keep Breathing uses Kate's own account as a case study to illuminate the common experiences in our human brain (deep love and devastating loss, exhilaration and pain, life and death) that have the power to both derail our lives and ignite us to rebuild, heal, and grow. Her deeply personal loss sheds light on the human spirit's extraordinary ability to persevere and thrive in the face of suffering, providing readers with a roadmap to navigate their own paths to healing and self-discovery. With its raw yet warm candor, Kate's brave storytelling exemplifies what it means to truly come back to ourselves."--

This volume offers a detailed and up-to-date analysis of the unmet needs of patients with psychoses and personality disorders. These include the needs associated with early detection of ultra-high-risk populations and first-episode psychosis; recognition of the trajectories of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, recovery, early intervention, such as the use of LAIs, the conundrum of differential diagnosis in various personality disorders, and unsatisfactory quality of life, even in the presence of symptom control.Intended for clinical psychiatrists and other practitioners interested in mental health, this book helps them to manage the challenges of the diagnostic uncertainty in first-episode psychosis and timely interventions, since the earlier diagnosis is confirmed, the sooner multidisciplinary treatment can be implemented and plans for psychoeducation, and relapse prevention drawn up.

If we are to address the injustice of racism, we need to have the "race conversation". All too often, however, attempts at this conversation are met with silence, denial, anger or hate. This is largely because the construct of race resides not only in our minds, but principally in the body. In order to have productive conversations about race and racism, a paradigm shift is needed-one which will empower us to remain present and embodied, rather than constricted with fear, regardless of our racial identities.Here, psychotherapist Eugene Ellis explores what is needed for this bodily shift to occur as he unpacks the visceral experience of the race conversation. He offers a trauma-informed, neurophysiological approach that emphasises resourcing, body awareness, mindfulness and healing. Transforming Race Conversations is essential reading for therapy practitioners as well as anyone looking to engage more effectively in the ongoing dialogue around race.

More than twenty-five years ago, The Marriage Clinic presented a complete marital therapy programme based on John Gottman's much-heralded research on marital success and failure. The book provided not only a wide range of succinct and useful assessment procedures but also a highly specific, research-based and modularised treatment programme. Since then, Dr. Gottman has collaborated with his wife, clinical psychologist Julie Gottman, to conduct their well-known "Love Lab" studies, allowing the pair to design a highly successful couples' workshop and develop their "Sound Relationship House" theory.Now, in this influential book's first-ever revision, Dr. Gottman and Dr. Gottman incorporate the results of their studies and their most powerful interventions. In addition to its original, celebrated marital therapy programme, The New Marriage Clinic includes findings on the dynamics of same-sex couples; interventions for couples recovering from situational domestic violence; strategies for couples rebuilding their marriages after an affair; and much more.

Dieses Fachbuch für Psychotherapeuten und Gruppentherapeuten regt den Leser, die Leserin entlang des eigenen Lebenslaufs an, eigene Gruppenerfahrungen neu zu reflektieren ¿ und diese Einsichten in Beziehung zu Therapieprozessen zu setzen. Psychisches Leben und persönliche Entwicklung entsteht immer in Netzwerken. Analytische Gruppentherapie nutzt dies und macht psychische Vorgänge sichtbar, die in Einzelbehandlungen zu oft unklar bleiben. Unser Bild der psychischen Entwicklung des Menschen wandelt sich angesichts neurowissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse und vor dem Hintergrund komplexer gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen unserer Zeit in ein Bild des Menschen als Social Animal. Wir sehen einen Aufschwung für die Gruppentherapie und eine Öffnung gegenüber Theorien, die unsere gegenseitige Abhängigkeit in einem positiven Sinn betonen. Zusammengehörigkeit und Solidarität können so gemeinschaftlich eingeübt werden und transformatorische Kraft für Veränderung beim Einzelnen, aber auch für dieGesellschaft entfalten. Viele lebensnahe Beispiele vor allem aus therapeutischen Gruppen illustrieren dies. Geschrieben für:Psychotherapeut*innen, Gruppenpsychotherapeut*innen, Gruppenleiter*innen im medizinischen und sozialen Bereich.Über den Autor: Dipl. Psych. Volker Münch, Psychologischer Psychotherapeut in eigener Praxis in München. Lehranalytiker, Supervisor und Dozent an der MAP, München.
