Stress, Coping, and Relationships in Adolescence
Unique and comprehensive, this volume integrates the most updated theory and research relating to adolescent coping and its determinants. This book is the result of the author's long interest in, and study of, stress, coping, and relationships in adolescence. It begins with an overview of research conducted during the past three decades and contrasts research trends in adolescent coping in the United States and Europe over time. Grounded on a developmental model for adolescent coping, the conceptual issues and major questions are outlined. Supporting research ties together the types of stressors, the ways of coping with normative and non-normative stressors, and the function that close relat...
Diabetic Adolescents and their Families
Diabetic Adolescents and their Families presents an innovative approach to the study of coping with chronic illness by focusing on the developmental context in its description of a longitudinal study of families with a diabetic or a healthy adolescent. Inge Seiffge-Krenke considers perspectives of the ill adolescents, their parents, and the physicians treating them. Highlighted topics include typical stressors, individual and family coping strategies, and psychosocial consequences associated with diabetes. The author also examines the changes that occur in adolescents' self-concept and body image and analyses their relationships with parents, physicians, friends, and romantic partners as sources of support and of stress. Numerous case studies illustrate the difficulty of balancing normative development and adherence to the therapeutic regimen. Integrating clinical concerns with fundamental findings of developmental psychology, this book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the study of adolescent health psychology.
Adolescents' Health
This book is devoted to identifying the precursors of adolescents' health problems and risk taking behaviors and the developmental processes that accompany them. It presents data on lay conceptions of health and illness, physical maturity, causes of mortality and morbidity, and patterns of utilization of medical and psychosocial health care services. Developmental changes in risk perception, self-disclosure behavior, and in dealing with nudity are linked with doctor-patient communication to illustrate the typical obstacles health experts are faced with when trying to assess diagnostic information in this age group. Developmental barriers that hinder adolescents' compliance are highlighted an...
Fathers and Adolescents
The understanding and study of fathers has traditionally assumed that fathers, compared to mothers, are less involved with their children. Originally published in 1997 Fathers and Adolescents presents a different approach that focuses on the distinctive role of fathers in the lives of their adolescents, especially in their role in adolescents’ attainment of developmental tasks. Drawing on a variety of disciplines, the authors’ examine the relationships of fathers to their adolescents in the context of a changing society. They find that fathers interact in ways that are different from those of mothers, but that are important for both normal and disturbed adolescent development. Psychopathological, aggressive and incestuous behaviour is considered as well as the role of the father in more ideal circumstances. Drawing on the authors’ wealth of clinical experience, this title will still be an important resource for all professionals working with adolescents, as well as those in research.
OPD-CA-2 Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis in Childhood and Adolescence
OPD-CA-2, the multiaxial diagnostic system for psychodynamically oriented psychiatrists and therapists, now for children and adolescents. Following the success of the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis for Adults (OPD-2), this multiaxial diagnostic and classification system based on psychodynamic principles has now been adapted for children and adolescents by combining psychodynamic, developmental, and clinical psychiatric perspectives. The OPD-CA-2 is based on four axes that are aligned with the new dimensional approach in the DSM-5: I = interpersonal relations, II = conflict, III = structure, and IV = prerequisites for treatment. After an initial interview, the clinician (or researcher) can evaluate the patient's psychodynamics according to these axes to get a comprehensive psychodynamic view of the patient. Easy-to-use checklists and evaluation forms are provided. The set of tools and procedures the OPD-CA-2 manual provides have been widely used for assessing indications for therapy, treatment planning, and measuring change, as well as providing information for parental work.
Familie – nein danke?!
Was ist Familie und wie hat sich unser Verständnis von Familie verändert? Um Hilfen für Familien entwickeln zu können, müssen Therapeuten, Berater und Pädagogen das, was sie jeden Tag erleben, in einem größeren Kontext sehen und verstehen können.Dieses Buch vereint familiensoziologische und entwicklungspsychologische Perspektiven: Was hat sich gesellschaftlich getan und wie wirkt dies in das individuelle »Familienglück« hinein? Historisch haben sich massive Veränderungen in den Erziehungsprinzipien mit einer Erosion elterlicher Macht, und einer Zunahme von psychologischer Kontrolle vollzogen. Die Veränderungen in typischen Übergängen (Heirat, Elternschaft, Auszug aus dem Elte...
Widerstand, Abwehr und Bewältigung
In der Psychotherapie sind Widerstand und Abwehrmechanismen von großer praktischer Bedeutung und erfordern auch unterschiedliche Interventionen. Sie haben eine positive Funktion im Behandlungsprozess, sind also durchaus eine Form der Bewältigung, und geben Hinweise auf das Strukturniveau und die Qualität der therapeutischen Beziehung. Widerstände und Abwehrmechanismen können allerdings auch ein Warnsignal für den Therapeuten sein, wenn sie nämlich für den Patienten stark lebenseinschränkend sind. Frühe Abwehrformationen wie Spaltung, Projektion und projektive Identifizierung stellen eine besondere Herausforderung für die therapeutische Arbeit dar.
Coping and Self-Concept in Adolescence
Self-concept and coping behaviour are important aspects of development in adolescence. Despite their developmental significance, however, the two areas have rarely been considered in relation to each other. This book is the first in which the two areas are brought together; it suggests that this interaction can open the way to new possibilities for further research and to new implications for applied work with adolescents. Two separate chapters review research carried out in each of the areas. These are followed by a series of more empirically focussed chapters in which issues such as changes in relationship patterns, difficult school situations, leaving school, use of leisure, anxiety and suicidal behaviour are examined in the context of self-concept and coping. The final chapter seeks to identify some of the central themes emerging from this work and discusses possible research and applied implications.
Emerging Adulthood in a European Context
Emerging adulthood has been identified as an important developmental stage, characterised by identity exploration, instability and open possibilities, in which young people are no longer adolescents but have not yet attained full adult status. This ground-breaking edited collection is the first book to offer a comprehensive overview of emerging adulthood in a European context, which includes a comparison of findings in 9 different European countries and the USA. Each chapter, written by a leading European researcher, describes the socio-demographic characteristics of emerging adults, reviews the state of the field, synthesises new findings, and provides suggestions for how to move forward in...
MÄNNER. MACHT. THERAPIE
Globale Großlagen wie drohender Klimawandel, wachsende Umweltzerstörung, Digitalisierung der Arbeitswelt oder unkalkulierbare Risiken einer Kommerzialisierung aller Lebensbezüge befördern kollektive und individuelle Ängste. Große gesellschaftliche Gruppen erleben Unsicherheit durch Globalisierung, Armut und Ausgrenzung. Werden angesichts dieser Entwicklungen kindliche Erfahrungen von Verunsicherungen, Verletzungen, Hilflosigkeit oder Ängste reaktualisiert, können sich restaurative oder neue Formen von Männlichkeit und Machtaneignung manifestieren. Gerade Jungen und Männer suchen in destruktiven Scheinlösungen Schutz und Halt. Wie kann Sicherheit in Zeiten zunehmender Beunruhigung und struktureller Umbrüche mithilfe psychoanalytisch inspirierter Reflexion oder Psychotherapie erwachsen? Diesen Themen und Fragestellungen gehen ausgewiesene Expertinnen und Experten aus unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen nach.
