Eltern in Krisen begleiten
Eine Krise ist ein Wendepunkt im Leben, der weitreichende Konsequenzen für eine Person haben kann. Krisen können Menschen vor Herausforderungen stellen und zugleich ihre Bewältigungsmöglichkeiten überschreiten, so dass Gefühle der Überforderung, Angst oder Hilflosigkeit entstehen. Eltern sind von Krisen betroffen und in diesem Kontext erleben sie Stress und Leid. Elterliche Krisen können vielgestaltig sein und zu Belastungs- und Inkompetenzerleben führen, was sich jedoch negativ auf die Elternrolle und damit auch auf die Interaktionen zwischen Eltern und Kinder auswirken kann. Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über die aktuelle Forschung zu Elternschaft in verschiedenen Krisenformen. Dabei wird zwischen globalen und individuellen Krisen unterschieden. Thematisiert werden u. a. Krieg, Flucht, Klimawandel, Erkrankungen von Eltern und Kindern, Trennung. Ziel des Buches ist einen Überblick über die unterschiedlichen Auswirkungen von Krisen auf Eltern zu geben, aber auch individuelle Bewältigungsmöglichkeiten zu beleuchten und konkrete Vorschläge für die psychotherapeutische Begleitung von Familien aufzuzeigen.
The Rise of Winter
This action-packed first book of a middle grade fantasy trilogy brings together magical animals, environmental destruction, and finding one’s place in a world where everything is about to change. Centuries ago, the world, Terra, was nearly destroyed by humans. As she recovered, Terra created the Guardians – a group sworn to protect her. But humans have returned to their plundering ways and Terra needs the Guardians. She calls on them only to find they have fractured – their last leader murdered years before. They need a new leader – a new Terra Protectorum – but when a young girl is chosen, outrage ensues. Questions demand answers. Why has Terra selected a girl with no knowledge of the Guardians? Why has she chosen a human when it is the humans destroying the earth? And most importantly, why has she chosen the girl whose father murdered the last Terra Protectorum? "Filled with pulse-pounding action, otherworldly characters to root for, and a timely message about the state of our planet, The Rise of Winter soars."—Joel A. Sutherland, author of Summer's End and the Haunted Canada series Also from Alex Lyttle: From Ant to Eagle
