Psykoterapi: børn og unge

Børn og unge i udsatte positioner, hvor risikofaktorer har forstærket hinanden over tid, og hvor beskyttelsesfaktorer ikke længere opvejer disse, mistrives. I Udviklingsstøttende samtaler med børn og unge i mistrivsel sætter Birthe Elholm, Maja Haack og Lisbeth Rask fokus på de samtaler, der kan støtte et barn eller en ung i at identificere egne tanker, følelser og behov samt at forstå sin situation og kende sine muligheder og rettigheder. Disse samtaler kan have afgørende indflydelse på barnets udvikling og kan i nogle tilfælde føre til et positivt vendepunkt i dets selvforståelse og forståelse af sig selv i forhold til andre. I bogen bliver den professionelle først introduceret til den udviklingsstøttende samtale, til hvad udviklingsstøtte er, og til den betydning, støtten har for barnet. Herefter følger en række metoder, som den professionelle kan trække på i en udviklingsstøttende samtale med et barn eller en ung. Udviklingsstøttende samtaler med børn og unge i mistrivsel er skrevet til professionelle inden for det pædagogiske, sundhedsfaglige og sociale område, som hver dag taler med børn og unge.

I denne rundrejse i børn og unges liv opdager du, at alt, vi gør (eller ikke gør), har afledte effekter. Anette Prehn viser, hvordan de talrige innovationer, vi hastigt integrerer i vores liv, reelt kan betyde tab. Særligt når mange mennesker træffer lignende valg samtidig. Tag skyklapperne af og se de markante følgevirkninger af algoritmer, hyppig fotografering, eliteidræt og en udbredt stempeltrang. Få også øjnene op for, hvad trykte ordbøger, fællessang, ordentlig sengetid, naturoplevelser, sociale færdselsregler og læsning kan gøre af godt for børn og unge. Få konkret inspiration til at træffe værdibaserede valg, der styrker livsmestringen. Bogen henvender sig til alle, der er forældre, eller som har med børn og unge at gøre. En ting er sikkert: Du provokeres til at forholde dig på nye måder til de ringe i vandet, der skabes af menneskers adfærdsvalg. Men åbn kun bogen, hvis du tør udvide dit synsfelt i verden. Der bliver nemlig et før og et efter.

Neuroaffektiv udviklingspsykologi er en brobygning mellem den nyeste hjerneforskning, tilknytningsteori og udviklingspsykologi. Neuroaffektiv psykoterapi med børn omsætter teorien til det psykoterapeutiske arbejde med spædbørn, børn og familier og præsenterer en variation af metoder, som alle har betydning for udvikling på forskellige niveauer i barnets nervesystem. Bogens røde tråd er at beskrive forskellige systematiserede metoder til børne- og familiebehandling ud fra den grundlæggende udviklingspsykologiske forståelse, at det er andres anerkendelse, som former selvet, og det er gennem andres anerkendelse, at man etablerer en bevidsthed om sig selv. Forskellige psykologiske behandlingsmetoder kan føre til psykisk udvikling hos barnet. Barnets udvikling skal stimuleres netop dér, hvor den nærmeste udviklingszone er, og det er vigtigt at vide, om barnets primære omsorgspersoner er i stand til at støtte udviklingen derfra. Udvikling af en moden personlighedsstruktur skabes i første omgang gennem samspillet med de nære tilknytningspersoner. Bogen samler udenlandske og danske forfatteres bidrag, der alle forholder sig til psykoterapi med børn og familier ud fra en kompleks forståelse af personlighedsudvikling som en gensidig proces mellem neurobiologi og relationel regulering. Bogen er inddelt i fire dele, Generelle principper for neuroaffektiv psykoterapi, Spædbarnsterapi, Børneterapi og Familiebehandling, og henvender sig til psykologer, psykiatere, psykoterapeuter, pædagoger og andre fagpersoner, der indgår i familiebehandling og relations- og miljøbehandling med børn.   Susan Hart er psykolog og har tidligere udgivet bøgerne Dissociationsfænomener (2011), Den følsomme hjerne (2009), Hjerne, samhørighed, personlighed (2006), Betydningen af samhørighed (2006) og sammen med Rikke Schwartz Fra interaktion til relation (2008). Susan Hart har derudover skrevet artikler om neuroaffektiv udviklingspsykologi og afholder kurser i emnet.   Bogens udenlandske bidrag er oversat fra engelsk og norsk af Dorte Herholdt Silver.

Gentagelsen er en rå og voldsom skildring af et ungt liv. En voksen kvinde ser tilbage på sig selv som 16-årig og undersøger en central begivenhed fra sin opvækst.Gentagelsen handler om at kysse for første gang, om at have sex for første gang – om at drikke og føle sig fuld til en fest med nogle drenge i et rækkehus. At løbe for at forberede sig til et maraton, at mærke en enorm sult og tørst.Og hele tiden våger mor over pigen som en høg. Far bliver i baggrunden. Fars afstand er til at tage og føle på, mors kontrol er uhørt. Der findes hemmeligheder i familiens hus. VIGDIS HJORTH er født i 1959.

Slip presset med øvelser i mindfulness.Generation Præstation er betegnelsen for de mange unge, der i dag suser af sted gennem skole og uddannelse – og livet – med øjnene stillet skarpt på den gode præstation. Det kunne også hedde Generation Pres, for kravene er tårnhøje, og tolerancen over for fejl og dårlig kampform er nærmest lig nul.Denne bog er skrevet til dig, der er vokset op med presset om at præstere, brande dig selv og altid lige gøre det hele lidt bedre – i skolen, på studiet, i sport, fritiden og det sociale liv med vennerne.Mindfulness har vist sig at være en særlig god måde at løsne det jerngreb af stress, præstationsangst og nedtrykthed, som en del unge befinder sig i. Med enkle mindfulness-øvelser kan du flytte fokus væk fra kravene om præstation, væk fra, hvor meget du yder, hvor flittig, målrettet og ambitiøs du er, og hen mod at være til stede i nuet, mærke dig selv, forstå og kende dine reaktioner og få et mere objektivt syn på dig selv.Du behøver ikke at tro på alt, hvad du tænker!Bogen kan også læses af forældre, lærere og andre professionelle tæt på nutidens pressede unge, som ser til med bekymring, men mangler inspiration til, hvilke tiltag der kan vende udviklingen for den enkelte.

Angst og bekymring hos børn er almindelige og sunde følelser. Men for mere end hvert tiende barn udvikler den naturlige angst sig til en overdreven tilstand, der rammer barnets trivsel og resten af familien. Monstermanualen henvender sig til familier med overbekymrede, ængstelige eller angste børn i alderen 7 – 12 år. For nogle børn kan denne bog betyde, at de overvinder angsten og får langt bedre trivsel. Der er mange grunde til, at et stigende antal børn bliver overbekymrede, og alt for mange forældre føler sig rådvilde og magtesløse over for denne usynlige lidelse. I en novelle møder I pigen Simone på ti år, som har angst, og hører, hvordan hun øver sig i at være mere modig. Derefter sender vi forældrene i Monsterskole, så I bedre kan forstå den lidelse, der plager jeres barn og får gode råd til, hvordan I kan hjælpe. I Monsterskolen for børn laver dit barn sin helt egen monstermanual, som bliver en slags skjold i kampene mod monsteret. Og gennem børnemeditation og mindfulness styrker vi dit barns tro på, at han eller hun har den indre styrke, der skal til for at bekæmpe sit mørke. Vi giver børnene poweren tilbage. Men husk på, at monstre skal bekæmpes i fællesskab!Bogen er skrevet af forfatter Gitte Winter Graugaard, som er kendt for sine bøger med børnemeditation, der får børn til at sove, herunder bestselleren Børnemeditationerne I mit hjerte, der sælger i tyve lande og psykolog Stine Hæk, som hver dag behandler børn med angst og overbekymring i sin klinik i Silkeborg. Bogen er opdateret til nyeste viden og erfaring i 2024.

Children are born into a social context that is not of their choosing.

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.

Mannie and her Mooooody, Disorderly Day follows Mannie the cow as she navigates a somewhat surprising and chaotic day on the weather pasture with her bipolar disorder. After beginning her morning with an abnormally bright sun and vivacious disposition, Mannie's mood quickly shifts to cloudy thoughts and extreme misery, forcing her to leave school. With parental guidance (from Mootilda and Sir Loin), Mannie attempts to take the S.S.R.I. train to get her sun back, and, when her symptoms worsen, she does not succumb to failure.
