You Can
Are you often depressed, sad, or discouraged with your situation or life in general? Do you worry or feel overburdened or frustrated? Do you sometimes feel a lack of self-confidence, or do you have low self-esteem?Welcome to the club!You belong to the rest of the world.

The form of hopelessness that has become apparent in each individual's life ranges from slight self-doubt and worries to severe discouragement and devastation. But they all suffer! Author Raymond Dautel felt compelled to address this subject after becoming impr...
Missionaries, Mental Health, and Accountability:
Hope and Help in Member Care. Culture shock. Marital strife. Depression. Addictions. Disillusionment. Organization and team tensions. Family trauma. Medical issues. This is not what you signed up for when you pursued missions. Field workers cross-linguistic, cultural, and ministry boundaries, but they still experience the same mental health challenges as everyone else—and often more. When the missionary unit includes a spouse and children, the complexities multiply as each person undergoes stressors. Needing psychological or psychiatric help too often leads to burnout or worse. It’s time to let go of the stigma and embrace mental health. Missionaries, Mental Health, and Accountability op...
Global Perspectives on ADHD
Examining ADHD and its social and medical treatments around the world. Attention deficithyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been a common psychiatric diagnosis in both children and adults since the 1980s and 1990s in the United States. But the diagnosis was much less common—even unknown—in other parts of the world. By the end of the twentieth century, this was no longer the case, and ADHD diagnosis and treatment became an increasingly widespread global phenomenon. As the diagnosis was adopted around the world, the definition and treatment of ADHD often changed in the context of different psychiatric professions, medical systems, and cultures. Global Perspectives on ADHD is the first book t...
Writing Instruction and Intervention for Struggling Writers
Writing is a challenging task for many children. To address this issue, many educational researchers advocate for schools to implement a multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) model where struggling writers can be detected as early as kindergarten and provided with intervention programming to improve their skills and hopefully not need long-term placement in special education. Traditionally, schools have employed the wait-to-fail model where children were offered the opportunity to learn to read, write, and do math in the first few years of elementary school; if they still struggled at the end of third grade (age eight), then they would be assessed for special education. The problem with thi...

Armes Kind - starkes Kind?
Das Buch bietet einen fundierten Einblick in die international viel diskutierte und neuerdings auch in Deutschland lebhaft verfolgte Resilienzforschung. „Resilienz“ bedeutet „seelische Widerstandsfähigkeit“ in belasteten und risikobehafteten Lebenssituationen. Aufwachsen in Armut ist ein zentrales Entwicklungsrisiko für Kinder. Wichtigste Erkenntnis ist, dass „Resilienz“ durch pädagogisches und sozialpädagogisches Handeln gefördert werden kann. Bisher fehlte jedoch eine theoretisch fundierte Begründung und eine substanzielle fachliche Erörterung, wie sich das Resilienzkonzept für Kinder und Familien in Armutslagen übertragen und anwenden lässt. Diese Lücke schließt das Buch.
