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 w...
Reflecting the work of an international panel of experts, the International Handbook on Psychopathic Disorders and the Law offers an in-depth and multidisciplinary look at key aspects of the development and etiology of psychopathic disorders, current methods of intervention, treatment and management, and how these disorders impact decision making in civil and criminal law.

Dieses Buch befasst sich mit der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Alfred Adler und Sigmund Freud, analysiert die inhaltlichen Differenzen, die zu ihrer Trennung geführt haben, und beleuchtet die philosophisch-kulturgeschichtlichen Hintergründe. Davon ausgehend werden Adlers Theorie sowie die Weiterentwicklungen der individualpsychologischen Persönlichkeits- und Entwicklungslehre, Psychopathologie, Technik der individualpsychologischen Praxis mit ihren Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschieden zur Psychoanalyse sowie zahlreiche Spezialgebiete dargestellt. Zudem wird auf die Bedeutung der Individualpsychologie für die Gesellschafts- und Kulturwissenschaften eingegangen. Das didaktisch gut gegliederte Werk berücksichtigt sowohl die Querverbindungen zur Psychoanalyse als auch internationale Entwicklungen der modernen Individualpsychologie und aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse der Neurowissenschaften. Es richtet sich an alle an Individualpsychologie interessierten PsychotherapeutInnen, PsychologInnen, ÄrztInnen und KulturwissenschaftlerInnen.
Die starke Tabuisierung des Themas Suchtgefahren im Kindes- und Jugendalter und eine jahrelang fehlende Forschung in Deutschland waren der Anlass, dieses umfangreiche Handbuch zu konzipieren. Zahlreiche namhafte Autoren liefern umfassende Informationen zur Suchtgefährdung durch Konsum psychoaktiver Substanzen und einen Überblick über die Suchtstörungen, die in diesem Alter auftreten können.

In this volume internationally well known experts discuss whether psychoanalysis - with its rich mix of clinical experiences and conceptualizations of early development and symptoms - has something unique to offer through deepening the understanding of children suffering from this and similar developmental disturbances. The contributors consider therapeutic strategies as well as possibilities of early prevention. Surprisingly, psychoanalysts have only during the past few years actively engaged in the on-going and very important controversial discussions on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). There may be many reasons for the increasing interest in this topic over the past few years - for example the dialogue between psychoanalysis and contemporary neurobiology/brain research which opens a fascinating window on an old problem in European culture: the mind-body problem. This exchange also promises to enlarge the understanding of psychic problems probably connected with some neurobiologically-based pathologies, widely assumed to include ADHD.
