Systemic Perspectives in Mental Health, Social Work and Youth Care
Systemic Perspectives in Mental Health, Social Work and Youth Care describes the theoretical foundations of a systemic framework, or ‘systemic lens’, and how the counsellor, therapist, social worker or other health professional can apply these ground principles in therapeutic meetings with clients. The book presents a wide variety of perspectives and interventions, multiple examples, and practical methods, applicable to professionals with a range of experience. A case study covering a diverse family of three generations is presented throughout the book to clearly illustrate systemic perspectives, concepts, and practices. This accessible book will inform and enhance the therapist’s practice and conversations with individuals, couples, parents, groups or networks, even in the presence of psychopathology, multi-stressors or complex networks. This highly readable guide will be essential reading for systemic practitioners of all backgrounds, as well as professionals looking to understand systemic approaches, and for those working in social work, youth care or mental health who want to enhance their current practice.
Towards an embodied science of intersubjectivity: Widening the scope of social understanding research
An important amount of research effort in psychology and neuroscience over the past decades has focused on the problem of social cognition. This problem is understood as how we figure out other minds, relying only on indirect manifestations of other people's intentional states, which are assumed to be hidden, private and internal. Research on this question has mostly investigated how individual cognitive mechanisms achieve this task. A shift in the internalist assumptions regarding intentional states has expanded the research focus with hypotheses that explore the role of interactive phenomena and interpersonal histories and their implications for understanding individual cognitive processes...
Working Systemically with Refugee Couples and Families
This stirring and insightful book explores how family dynamics among refugees are affected by the trauma of forced migration. Written by an experienced family therapist, it uses a systemic perspective to understand the impact on couple relationships and parenting, as well as the broader issue of cultural and social assimilation. Shedding light on the complex and relational nature of the trauma experienced by refugee families, including issues around gender and mental health, Shadi Shahnavaz examines the clinical implications for those who care for them. The unique, in-depth interviews with refugees provide a rare insight into their journey to England and the adverse experiences they encounter along the way. Rather than a simple reflection on practice, Shahnavaz invites the reader to think about the ways in which they can connect with others, even in challenging and unfamiliar situations. Working Systemically with Refugee Couples and Families is essential reading for any therapist or counsellor working today.

Spelen met werkelijkheden
Met potloden de donkere lucht licht kleuren, een gesprek voeren met een duif die al veel van de wereld heeft gezien en vriendschap sluiten met de krokodil onder het bed. 'Kinderspel' noemen wij dat. Kinderen fantaseren en spelen. Volwassenen worden verondersteld te denken en te werken vanuit een objectieve werkelijkheid. Binnen die opvatting is geen plaats voor de gedachte dat de werkelijkheid wel eens veelvormig kan zijn - dat 'echt en onecht', 'waar en onwaar' vaak een kwestie van perspectief is. Werkelijkheid wordt geconstrueerd in een web van grote en kleine, abstracte en concrete menselijke samenlevingsverbanden. Dit boek laat zien dat spelen met werkelijkheden een krachtig therapeutisc...
Unravelling Trauma and Weaving Resilience with Systemic and Narrative Therapy
Unravelling Trauma and Weaving Resilience with Systemic and Narrative Therapy is an innovative book that details how clinicians can engage children, families and their networks in creative and collaborative relationships to elicit change within the context of trauma and violence. Combining systemic, narrative and dialogical theoretical frameworks with clinical examples, this volume focuses on therapeutic conversations that can help children, and those involved with them, deconstruct their experienced difficulties, and create more hopeful stories and alternative ways of relating to one another through a sense of play. Vermeire advocates for serious playfulness as a way of directly addressing trauma and its effects, as well as along ‘trauma-sensitive’ side paths. Puppetry, artwork, interviews and theatre play are used to weave networks of resilience in ever-widening circles and this approach is informed by the awareness that individual problems are always to be seen as relational, social and political. This book is an important read for therapists and social workers who work with traumatised children and their multi-stressed families.

Empathie
Zonder empathie geen goede therapeutische relatie. En zonder goede alliantie tussen patiënt en therapeut geen optimaal behandelingsresultaat. Toch selecteert de opleiding tot psychiater of psychotherapeut studenten niet op empathisch vermogen. Voor wie er talent voor heeft, is dat geen probleem. Voor alle anderen is er dit leerboek. Empathie – het geheime wapen van psychiaters en psychotherapeuten geeft concrete handvatten voor het effectief toepassen van empathie. Het belicht empathie vanuit verschillende hoeken, en toont hoe empathie binnen verschillende settings kan werken. Mede dankzij de uitgebreide casuïstiek wordt empathie zo een zacht wapen, dat de therapeut altijd kan gebruiken. Het concept empathie is niet onomstreden. Waar de ethologische school van Frans de Waal zelfs mensapen inlevingsvermogen toekent, lijkt de neurobiologische school van Dick Swaab zaken als empathie inexistent te verklaren. Toch wordt de roep om een rustig, empathisch contragewicht tegenover het ontregelend snelle maatschappelijk leven binnen de geestelijke gezondheidszorg steeds luider. Dit boek is daar het antwoord op.
