Bristol University Press Contemporary fathering: Theory, policy and
Book SynopsisSince 1997, child welfare services have been faced with new demands to engage fathers or develop father-inclusive services. This book emerges from work by the author as a researcher and educator over many years on the issues posed by this agenda for child welfare practitioners in a variety of contexts. In locating fathers, fathering and fatherhood within a historical and social landscape, the book addresses issues seldom taken up in practice settings. It explores diversity and complexity in fathering in different disciplines such as psychoanalysis, sociology and psychology and analyses contemporary developments in social policies and welfare practices. The author employs a feminist perspective to highlight the opportunities and dangers in contemporary developments for those wishing to advance gender equity. A key strength of the book is its inter-disciplinary focus. It will be required reading for students, graduate and postgraduate, of social work, social policy, sociology and child and family studies. Academic researchers will also find the book invaluable because of its breadth of scholarship. Trade Review" This book is an important tool in providing the background and the practical experience that is needed to deliver services that include fathers, at a time when more and more is expected of practitioners. It is well researched, scholarly and detailed and reflects the author's vast experience of working with fathers from a feminist perspectives." Becky Sibert, Children & Young People Now, 2009"This book is essential reading for anybody researching fathering, all the social professions that work with both men and women caring for children, and students across the social sciences". Alistair Christie, University College, CorkTable of ContentsIntroduction; The contemporary context; The historical context; Freud and his legacy; Psychological perspectives; Sociological perspectives; The politics of fatherhood: contemporary developments; Contemporary social policies; Working with fathers; Reflections on a decade of working with fathers; Concluding remarks.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Selective Mutism in Children
Book SynopsisThere have been important developments in the study and treatment of selective mutism during the ten years since the first edition of this book was published. Understanding of the subject has improved more dramatically than in any period since the phenomenon of children who talk readily in some situations but not in others was first recognised over a century ago. The second edition of this practical book reports recent developments in medication and combined therapies. New findings on the links between social anxiety, biological and genetic factors and selective mutism are described. At the same time the authors remain committed to understanding this pattern of behaviour in its full social context in family and community and to employing behavioural approaches to intervention alongside other methods. This is the fullest and most authoritative book-length account of selective mutism in print.Trade Review"...I thoroughly recommend this book...a solid and important contribution to the literature...an essential resource..."

Watkins Media Limited Down with Childhood: Pop Music and the Crisis of
Book SynopsisSometimes popular music registers our concerns and anxieties more lucidly than we realise. This is evident in the case of an ideal of childhood innocence in rapid decay in recent decades.So claims Down with Childhood, as it takes in psychedelia's preoccupation with rebirth and inner-children, the fascination with juvenilia amidst an ebbing UK rave scene and dozens of nursery rhyme hip-hop choruses spawned by a hit Jay-Z tune.As it examines the often complex sets of meanings to which the occasional presence of children in pop songs attests, the book pauses at Musical Youth's 'Pass the Dutchie' and other one-hit teen wonders, the career paths of child stars including Michael Jackson and Britney Spears, radical experiments in free jazz, and Black Panther influenced children's soul groups.In the process, a novel argument begins to emerge relating the often remarked crisis of childhood to changing experiences of work and play and ultimately, to an ongoing capitalist crisis that underlies them.

Book SynopsisIn modern pediatric practice, gender matters. From the pink-and-blue striped receiving blankets used to swaddle newborns, to the development of sex-specific nutrition plans based on societal expectations of the stature of children, a gendered culture permeates pediatrics and children’s health throughout the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. This book provides a look at how gender has served as one of the frameworks for pediatric care in the U.S. since the specialty’s inception.

Rutgers University Press Global Child: Children and Families Affected by
Book SynopsisArmed conflicts continue to wreak havoc on children and families around the world with profound effects. In 2017, 420 million children—nearly one in five—were living in conflict-affected areas, an increase in 30 million from the previous year. The recent surge in war-induced migration, referred to as a “global refugee crisis” has made migration a highly politicized issue, with refugee populations and host countries facing unique challenges. We know from research related to asylum seeking families that it is vital to think about children and families in relation to what it means to stay together, what it means for parents to be separated from their children, and the kinds of everyday tensions that emerge in living in dangerous, insecure, and precarious circumstances. In Global Child, the authors draw on what they have learned through their collaborative undertakings, and highlight the unique features of participatory, arts-based, and socio-ecological approaches to studying war-affected children and families, demonstrating the collective strength as well as the limitations and ethical implications of such research. Building on work across the Global South and the Global North, this book aims to deepen an understanding of their tri-pillared approach, and the potential of this methodology for contributing to improved practices in working with war-affected children and their families.Trade Review"Global Child is a gift. It enables the reader to see and understand what ecological, participatory, ethical, and collaborative work looks like; and it makes me hopeful for research, practice, and policy in contexts of conflict and migration that embodies the listening, unlearning, and re-envisioning that this book illuminates."— Sarah Dryden-Peterson, Author of Right Where We Belong: How Refugee Teachers and Students Are Changing the Future of Education "Global Child, skillfully edited by Denov, Mitchell, and Rabiau, is a richly textured collection that highlights the impact of war, displacement, and migration on children and families worldwide.

Rutgers University Press Preventing Child Maltreatment in the U.S.: The
Book SynopsisChild maltreatment occurs in the Black community at higher rates than any other racial group. Given the prevalence of child maltreatment risk factors in the Black community, such as being in a low-income family, single parent family, greater exposure to physical discipline, and less access to services and resources, it is not surprising but nonetheless concerning that Black children are at greater risk for abuse and/or neglect. Unearthing the cause and effect between the challenges faced by the Black community and the life outcomes for Black children is key to making positive changes happen. Through a feminist and womanist lens, the authors unpack the range of factors that intersect and impact the Black community that are necessary to address to effectively protect Black children. Understanding how to prevent maltreatment and promote health and wellness are essential to adequately address maltreatment so as to protect and empower Black children.Trade Review"Phillips, Moore-Lobban, and Fuentes splendidly deliver a detailed and excellent conversation regarding the maltreatment of Black young bodies in the US. Their holistic lens truly captures the barriers and systems of oppression that impact these youths, and their approach to the topic is rooted in cultural humility.

Rutgers University Press Preventing Child Maltreatment in the U.S.:
Book SynopsisThis book is part of a concentrated series of books that examines child maltreatment across minoritized, cultural groups.Specifically, this volume addresses American Indian and Alaska Native populations. However, in an effort to contextualize the experiences of 574 federally recognized tribes and 50+ state recognized tribes, as well as villages, the authors focus on populations within rural and remote regions and discuss the experiences of some tribal communities throughout US history. It should be noted that established research has primarily drawn attention to the pervasive problems impacting Indigenous individuals, families, and communities. Aligned with an attempt to adhere to a decolonizing praxis, the authors share information in a strength-based framework for the Indigenous communities discussed within the text. The authors review federally funded programs (prevention, intervention, and treatment) that have been adapted for tribal communities (e.g., Safecare) and include cultural teachings that address child maltreatment. The intention of this book is to inform researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and advocates about the current state of child maltreatment from an Indigenous perspective.Trade Review“A thoughtful read on the history of child maltreatment. Origin stories are important, and this book presents a native perspective that shifts the questions of how, what, and why from individual families to the broader perspective of nation building that degraded and, in many ways, eliminated support networks and destroyed tribal identity for many children. This book clearly illustrates these heartbreaking outcomes while also giving hope by restoring the origin stories of identity and reclaiming lost children.” -- Dolores Subia BigFoot * Presidential Professor and Director of the Indian Country Child Trauma Center at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center *"This book by Royleen Ross, Julii Green, and Milton Fuentes is essential reading for anyone interested in the prevention of child maltreatment in American Indian/Alaska Native communities.

Rutgers University Press Preventing Child Maltreatment in the U.S.:
Book SynopsisPreventing Child Maltreatment: Multicultural Considerations in the United States is the first book in a concentrated series that examines child maltreatment across minoritized, cultural groups. Specifically, this volume examines core multicultural concepts (e.g., intersectionality, acculturation, spirituality, oppression) as they relate to child maltreatment in the United States, while the other books take a closer look at particular ethnic or racial communities in this country. Additionally, this book examines child maltreatment through the intersection of feminist, multicultural, and prevention/wellness promotion lenses. Recommendations for treatment in each book build on a foundation of prevention and wellness promotion, along with multicultural and feminist theories. Throughout this book, five case studies, which are introduced in Chapter One, are revisited to help the readers make important and meaningful connections between theory and practice.Trade Review"This book applies an essential multicultural lens as well as a feminist perspective to our understanding of the definitions and contextual origins of child maltreatment in order to inform prevention efforts.

Rutgers University Press Preventing Child Maltreatment in the U.S.: The
Book SynopsisThis book is part of a concentrated series of books that examines child maltreatment across cultural groups. Specifically, this volume examines core concepts relevant to Latinx families (e.g., familismo, acculturation, spirituality, oppression) as they relate to child maltreatment in the United States. While there are vast differences across Latinx families, authors use critical race and feminist theories to explore the impact of differences based on gender, race, immigration status, and country of origin. The book begins by contextualizing child maltreatment in Latinx families within the pervasive structural racism and inequality in the United States and addressing unique traumas experienced by Latinx families resulting from that inequity. Subsequent chapters address prevention of child maltreatment, responses to maltreatment and healing from trauma with an emphasis on resilience within the Latinx community. Three case studies are used to illustrate and apply concepts from each chapter. Trade Review"A refreshing and nuanced perspective that debunks colonialist narratives on child maltreatment and centers cultural context in discourse on origins of and interventions for maltreatment, this book takes an intersectional approach in identifying challenges and recommending how to support safe, stable and nurturing parenting in an increasingly diverse U.S. population.

Rutgers University Press Children of the Rainforest: Shaping the Future in
Book SynopsisChildren of the Rainforest explores the lives of children growing up in a time of radical change in Amazonia. The book draws on ethnographic fieldwork conducted with the Matses, a group of hunter-gatherer forest dwellers who have lived in voluntary isolation until fairly recently. Having worked with them for over a decade, returning every year to their villages in the rainforest, Camilla Morelli follows closely the life-trajectories of Matses children, watching them shift away from the forest-based lifestyles of their elders and move towards new horizons crisscrossed by concrete paving, lit by the glow of electric lights and television screens, and centered around urban practices and people. The book uses drawings and photographs taken by the children themselves to trace the children’s journeys—lived and imagined—from their own perspectives, proposing an ethnographic analysis that recognizes children’s imaginations, play, and shifting desires as powerful catalysts of social change.Trade Review"This brief summary of Children of the Forest barely conveys the significance of this grand accomplishment. Seldom has childhood been studied so thoroughly nor yielded so many original findings. This is a must read for anthropologists who study childhood and scholars across the spectrum interested in the process of social change." -- David Lancy * Anthropology Book Forum *"While it is often argued that children are the leading change agents in Indigenous communities, Camilla Morelli provides one of the first and the most thorough documentation of this phenomenon." -- David F. Lancy * author of The Anthropology of Childhood: Cherubs, Chattel, Changelings *"This is a highly innovative book that offers a remarkable perspective on the immense social change facing the Matses since the 1960s through the eyes and lives of children. It is as eminently readable as it is theoretically challenging and offers a truly exceptional ethnography that will appeal to a wide audience. This is one of the most insightful and inspiring books on Indigenous people that I have read in recent years." -- Andrew Canessa * author of Intimate Indigeneities: Race, Sex, and History in the Small Spaces of Andean Life *"Children of the Rainforest is a much awaited and fine-grained analysis of Amazonian childhood!

Rutgers University Press When Are You Coming Home?: How Young Children
Book SynopsisAs the United States approaches its 50th year of mass incarceration, more children than ever before have experienced the incarceration of a parent. The vast majority of incarceration occurs in locally operated jails and disproportionately impacts families of color, those experiencing poverty, and rural households. However, we are only beginning to understand the various ways in which children cope with the incarceration of a parent – particularly the coping of young children who are most at risk for the adversity and also the most detrimentally impacted. When Are You Coming Home? helps answer questions about how young ones are faring when a parent is incarcerated in jail. Situated within a resilience model of development, the book presents findings related to children’s stress, family relationships, health, home environments, and visit experiences through the eyes of the children and families. This humanizing, social justice-oriented approach discusses the paramount need to support children and their families before, during, and after a parent’s incarceration while the country simultaneously grapples with strategies of reform and decarceration. Trade Review“When Are You Coming Home? illuminates some of the reasons or pathways through which parental incarceration influences children. The research base is sound and accessible; there is a lot to like about this book.” -- Holly Foster * professor of sociology and chancellor EDGES fellow, Texas A&M University *“When Are You Coming Home? presents scientific evidence in an accessible format to a broad audience.

Rutgers University Press Families We Need: Disability, Abandonment, and
Book SynopsisSet in the remote, mountainous Guangxi Autonomous Region and based on ethnographic fieldwork, Families We Need traces the movement of three Chinese foster children, Dengrong, Pei Pei, and Meili, from the state orphanage into the humble, foster homes of Auntie Li, Auntie Ma, and Auntie Huang. Traversing the geography of Guangxi, from the modern capital Nanning where Pei Pei and Meili reside, to the small farming village several hours away where Dengrong is placed, this ethnography details the hardships of social abandonment for disabled children and disenfranchised, older women in China, while also analyzing the state’s efforts to cope with such marginal populations and incorporate them into China’s modern future. The book argues that Chinese foster families perform necessary, invisible service to the Chinese state and intercountry adoption, yet the bonds they form also resist such forces, exposing the inequalities, privilege, and ableism at the heart of global family making.Trade Review"Families We Need is a brilliant and warmly empathic book. Written with grace and lucidity, it elevates readers’ understanding of the need for family, and of how neediness can be a source of strength, and even abundance."— Kathie Carpenter, Author of Life in a Cambodian Orphanage "Raffety’s work provides a rare and precious view on foster care and other kinship practices in mountainous Southwest China, showing us their deep entanglements with forces of urbanization and globalization.

Rutgers University Press A World of Many: Ontology and Child Development
Book SynopsisA World of Many explores the world-making efforts of Tzotzil Maya children from two different localities within the municipality of Chenalhó, Chiapas. The research demonstrates children’s agency in creating their worlds, while also investigating the role played by the surrounding social and physical environment. Different experiences with schooling, parenting, goals and values, but also with climate change, water scarcity, as well as racism and settler colonialism form part of the reason children create their emerging worlds. These worlds are not make believe or anything less than the ontological products of their parents. Instead, Norbert Ross argues that by creating different worlds, the children ultimately fashion themselves into different human beings - quite literally being different in the world. A World of Many combines experimental research from the cognitive sciences with critical theory, exploring children’s agency in devising their own ontologies. Rather than treating children as somewhat incomplete humans, it understands children as tinkerers and thinkers, makers of their worlds amidst complex relations. It regards being as a constant ontological production, where life and living constitutes activism. Using experimental paradigms, the book shows that children locate themselves differently in these emerging worlds they create, becoming different human beings in the process.Trade Review"Norbert Ross questions the foundations of everything—the architecture of reality, knowledge, and learning—in his investigations of the Mexican community of Chenalhó. The observations and experiences of Tzotzil maya children help us understand what it is to be human, to be alive, and to have a soul and how life is activism. This methodologically innovative and theoretically intricate project invites readers to appreciate in a nuanced and profound way diversity in humanity and ways of being in the world." -- Kathryn Sampeck * co-editor of Substance and Seduction: Ingested Commodities in early Modern Mesoamerica *"I love books like this that challenge us to turn our thinking about ontology upside down. Scholars of young people often begin by examining what ontology teaches about childhood. We can forget how valuable it is to explore how notions of childhood actually reshape ontology. A World of Many is a successful experiment in inverting our assumptions about what we think we know about what we know." -- Rachael Stryker * co-editor of Up, Down, and Sideways: Anthropologists Trace the Pathways of Powe *Table of Contents 1 Introduction 2 A World Where Other Worlds Can Be at Home 3 Ontology and Resistance 4 Folk-Biological Knowledge, Education, and Framework Theories 5 Study Design and Methods 6 Complexity, Niche Theory, and Cultural Models 7 From Subsistence to Extraction: Globalization, Change, and Spatial Organization in Chenalhó 8 Knowledge Sources and Learning Biases: Experience, Values, and Ontologies 9 Growing Up in Chenalhó: Knowledge Sources and the Spatial Distribution of Change and Modernity 10 What Is It Called?

Rutgers University Press Between Self and Community: Children’s Personhood
Book SynopsisBetween Self and Community investigates the early childhood socialization process in a rapidly changing, globalizing South Korea. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in a South Korean preschool, it shows how both children and teachers interactively navigate, construct, and reconstruct their own multifaceted and sometimes conflicting models of what makes “a good child” amid Korea’s shifting educational and social contexts. Junehui Ahn details the conflicting and competing ways in which the ideologies of new personhood are enacted in actual everyday socialization contexts and reveals the confusions, dilemmas, and ruptures that occur when globally dominant ideals of childhood development are superimposed onto local experiences. Between Self and Community pays special attention to the way children, as active agents of socialization, create, construe, and sustain their own meanings of their personhood, thereby highlighting the dynamism children and their culturally rich peer world create in South Korea’s shifting socialization terrain. Trade Review "Junehui Ahn once again establishes herself as one of the pre-eminent chroniclers of children’s lives. Her delicate and lucid ethnography closely documents how Korean preschoolers actively contribute to their own socialization. As striking is her compelling demonstration of how these children deftly mediate between local values and a new, globalized vision of personhood." — Lawrence A. Hirschfeld, author of Race in the Making: Cognition, Culture, and the Child's Construction of Human Kinds "What does it mean to be a 'good child' today in a globally influenced society? Ahn tackles this intriguing question through the eyes and mouths of young children and teachers in a South Korean preschool. She reveals how children navigate peer relationships, influence their teachers' pedagogical approaches, and redefine expectations. Ahn encourages us to reflect on and recalibrate our own expectations of children and childhood in an ever-changing, global environment." — Barbra A.

Rutgers University Press The Farm & Wilderness Summer Camps: Progressive
Book SynopsisAlthough summer camps profoundly impact children, they have received little attention from scholars. The well-known Farm & Wilderness (F&W) camps, founded in 1939 by Ken and Susan Webb, resembled most other private camps of the same period in many ways, but F&W also had some distinctive features. Campers and staff took pride in the special ruggedness of the surrounding environment, and delighted in the exceptional rigor of the camping trips and the work projects. Importantly, the Farm & Wilderness camps were some of the first private camps to become racially integrated.The Farm & Wilderness Summer Camps: Progressive Ideals in the Twentieth Century traces these camps, both unique and emblematic of American youth culture of the twentieth century, from their establishment in the late 1930s to the end of the twentieth century. Emily K. Abel and Margaret K. Nelson explore how ideals considered progressive in the 1940s and 1950s had to be reconfigured by the camps to respond to shifts in culture and society as well as to new understandings of race and ethnicity, social class, gender, and sexual identity. To illustrate this change, the authors draw on over forty interviews with former campers, archival materials, and their own memories. This book tells a story of progressive ideals, crises of leadership, childhood challenges, and social adaptation in the quintessential American summer camp.Trade Review"Tamarack Farm, the Farm and Wilderness work camp, changed my life during my four summers. Counsellors and campers opened my eyes to a bigger world and encouraged me to help make it a better world. This book is a labor of love that describes why so many of us feel that way about FW.— John Wilhelm, Tamarack Farm 1960–63, retired union president "In this engaging consideration of the Farm and Wilderness camps, the authors use the scholarly tools of their respective disciplines to produce a case-study that is simultaneously deeply respectful and critically analytical. Their willingness to address a range of issues—among them, racial inequality, gender politics, sexual abuse, and the appropriation of Native American culture—make this a must-read, not just for their fellow FW alums, but for anyone committed to seeing summer camps thrive in the 21st century."— Abigail A.

Rutgers University Press The Politics of Potential: Global Health and
Book SynopsisThe first one thousand days of human life, or the period between conception and age two, is one of the most pivotal periods of human development. Optimizing nutrition during this time not only prevents childhood malnutrition but also determines future health and potential. The Politics of Potential examines early life interventions in the first one thousand days of life in South Africa, drawing on fieldwork from international conferences, government offices, health-care facilities, and the everyday lives of fifteen women and their families in Cape Town. Michelle Pentecost explores various aspects of a politics of potential, a term that underlines the first one thousand days concept and its effects on clinical care and the lives of childbearing women in South Africa. Why was the First One Thousand Days project so readily adopted by South Africa and many other countries? Pentecost not only explores this question but also discusses the science of intergenerational transmissions of health, disease, and human capital and how this constitutes new forms of intergenerational responsibility. The women who are the target of first one thousdand days interventions are cast as both vulnerable and responsible for the health of future generations, such that, despite its history, intergenerational responsibility in South Africa remains entrenched in powerfully gendered and racialized ways.Trade Review"The Politics of Potential examines a powerful new intervention that seeks to alter the future by tinkering with the present conditions of the unborn. Pentecost provides a riveting and at times dystopian account of how epigenetic interventions layer on to other global health interventions in disadvantaged communities in post-apartheid South Africa. From this laboratory of poverty, will it indeed be possible to finally break the cycle of violence and deprivation into which such communities seem locked?" -- Vinh-Kim Nguyen * author of The Republic of Therapy: Triage and Sovereignty in West Africa’s Time of AIDS *"This nuanced ethnography of South Africa’s First 1000 Days program offers brilliant insights about how global health’s long-standing obsession with maternal-child health is being reinvented under new scientific demands for epigenetic modeling and their temporal gymnastics in a place with a particularly fraught history of social injustice. Pentecost troubles the simplistic assessment of intervention success and failure by reminding readers of how recognition of a responsibility toward historic injury unveils the individualizing, situated, and justice-effacing effects of such programs." -- Vincanne Adams * editor of Metrics: What Counts in Global Health *Table of ContentsForeword by Lenore Manderson Introduction 1 The First 1000 Days: Origin Stories 2 Situated Biologies: The View from Khayelitsha 3 The Traveling Technology of Mother and Child 4 Life Between Protocols 5 Intergenerational Transmissions: The Work of Time 6 Ambivalent Kin: On Gender and Violence Conclusion: The Politics of Potential Acknowledgments Notes Bibliography Index

Springer International Publishing AG Reading Children in Early Modern Culture
Book SynopsisThis book is a study of children, their books and their reading experiences in late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Britain. It argues for the importance of reading to early modern childhood and of childhood to early modern reading cultures by drawing together the fields of childhood studies, early modern literature and the history of reading. Analysing literary representations of children as readers in a range of genres (including ABCs, prayer books, religious narratives, romance, anthologies, school books, drama, translations and autobiography) alongside evidence of the reading experiences of those defined as children in the period, it explores the production of different categories of child readers. Focusing on the ‘good child’ reader, the youth as consumer, ways of reading as a boy and as a girl, and the retrospective recollection of childhood reading, it sheds new light on the ways in which childhood and reading were understood and experienced in the period.Trade Review“With this passionate and compelling book, Edel Lamb provides a much needed reflection on the reading experiences of early modern British children. … This book comes as a welcome advancement in the direction of historically aware studies on childhood, finally distanced from any useless moralism and open to the challenge of difference.” (Luana Salvarani, History of Education, Vol. 49 (1), January, 2020)Table of Contents1.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Cybermobbing - Wenn das Internet zur W@ffe wird
Book SynopsisDie Nutzung von Internet-Chatrooms und sozialen Netzwerken wie z.B. Facebook sind mittlerweile die wichtigsten Kommunikationsformen für Kinder und Jugendliche im Cyberspace. Unter der Bedingung vollkommener physischer Anonymität, d.h. ohne zu wissen, wer tatsächlich hinter diesen Chatpartnern steckt, können Teilnehmer aufgrund der synchronen Interaktion ohne Zeitverzögerung mit anderen „chatten“. Dadurch sinkt die Hemmschwelle für bösartige Attacken und Gemeinheiten anderen gegenüber. Es entsteht das ideale Umfeld für Cybermobbing. So werden Eltern, Jugendliche, Lehrer, Pädagogen, Psychologen, Jugendsozialarbeiter oder Streetworker vor neue Herausforderungen gestellt. Sie sind mit dem Internet als neuem Tatort für Phänomene aus dem schulischen Alltag und dem physischen Umfeld konfrontiert. Diese schwierige Aufgabe wird oft durch den Mangel an Erfahrungen in diesem neuen Problembereich erschwert. Das wesentliche Ziel dieses Buches besteht darin, aufzuklären und sinnvolle Antworten auf folgende Fragen zu geben: Wie ist auf Cybermobbing zu reagieren? Wer sind die Täter und wer sind die Opfer? Was können wir präventiv gegen Cybermobbing tun? Es wird Eltern, Lehrer und Jugendliche, sowie alle anderen Interessierten darüber informieren, was in Online-Foren, sozialen Netzwerken, Chatrooms und Videoportalen überhaupt passiert, welche psychischen und psychosomatischen Auswirkungen dies auf die Opfer haben kann und was Freunde, Eltern und Lehrer dagegen tun können.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Sexualisierte Gewalt gegen Jungen: Prävention und
Book SynopsisSpätestens seit der großen Aufdeckungswelle von Missbrauchsfällen in (kirchlichen und reformpädagogischen) Einrichtungen im Jahre 2010 ist für eine größere Öffentlichkeit deutlich geworden, dass auch männliche Kinder und Jugendliche in großer Zahl von sexualisierter Gewalt betroffen sind. Besonders beunruhigend war in diesem Zusammenhang die Einsicht, dass die meisten Betroffenen über viele Jahrzehnte Stillschweigen behielten über das, was ihnen angetan worden war. Und auch die psycho-soziale Arbeit und politisch Verantwortliche haben lange Zeit über die männlichen Betroffenen hinweggeschaut. Nicht zuletzt im Rahmen des Runden Tisches, den die Bundesregierung zur Aufarbeitung der Missbrauchsfälle einberufen hat, ist der Ruf nach geeigneten - d. h. auch geschlechtssensiblen - Hilfen für die Opfer sexualisierter Gewalt laut geworden. Mit diesem Buch wird erstmals ein Überblick über das Spektrum an Hilfen für männliche Betroffene gegeben. Dazu werden geschlechtssensible Konzepte für präventives Handeln vorgestellt und Einblicke in die Arbeit im deutschsprachigen Ausland gegeben. Das Buch führt zu der überraschenden Einsicht, dass - fast im Verborgenen - eine sehr professionelle, differenzierte und entwicklungsfähige Präventions- und Hilfekultur entstanden ist, die auf eine vielfältige Methodik und eine große Menge praktischer Handlungsideen verweisen kann.Table of ContentsAufsuchende Arbeit.- Geschlechtssensible Traumabearbeitung.- Mehrfachbetroffenheit.- Gruppenarbeit.- Gerichtsbegleitung.- Prävention in der Schule.- Gesellschaftspolitische Hintergründe.- Mit Beiträgen von Heinrich Fischer.- Martin Helmer.- Torsten Kettritz.- Ruth Klein-Funke.- Hans-Joachim Lenz.- Peter Mosser.- Volker Mörchen.- Christoph Muck.- Matthias Nitsch.- Marek Spitczok von Brisinski.- Hubert Steger.- Wolfgang B.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Fehlerklima in der Klasse: Zum Umgang mit Fehlern
Book SynopsisFehler im Unterricht werden oftmals nicht als Lernchance wahrgenommen und genutzt – stattdessen werden Fehler häufig als etwas Negatives und Beschämendes empfunden, da sie in der Regel multiple negative Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen. Gabriele Steuer konzeptualisiert das Fehlerklima in der Schulklasse anhand von acht Dimensionen sowie einem übergeordneten Faktor und entwickelt ein entsprechendes Messinstrument. Anhand dessen untersucht sie die Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Fehlerklima und zahlreichen unterschiedlichen lernrelevanten Konstrukten sowie Leistungsmaßen. Zusätzlich leistet die Autorin eine Abgrenzung zu weiteren Kontextmerkmalen. Das Ergebnis der Arbeit ist ein differenzierteres Verständnis eines adaptiven bzw. maladaptiven Umgangs mit Fehlern in der Schule – sowohl auf individueller Ebene als auch auf Klassenebene.Table of ContentsDefinition, Abgrenzung und Klassifikation von Fehlern.- Umgang mit Fehlern auf individueller Ebene.- Fehlerklima im Mathematikunterricht.- Abgrenzung des Fehlerklimas von anderen Kontextmerkmalen.- Zusammenhänge des Fehlerklimas mit lernrelevanten Konstrukten.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Der Umgang mit Sexualstraftätern: Bearbeitung
Book SynopsisSimone Seifert ergänzt die überwiegend psychologisch und psychiatrisch hergeleitete Sichtweise auf Sexualdelinquenz durch eine soziologische, auf das Ganze der Gesellschaft bezogene Perspektive. Sie zeigt auf, dass die mit dem Gesetz zur Bekämpfung von Sexualdelikten und anderen gefährlichen Straftaten von 1998 politisch gewollte Zielsetzung – eine Sozialtherapie für inhaftierte Sexualstraftäter mit hohem Rückfallrisiko – nicht ausreichend erreicht wird. Sexualstraftäter werden vor allem dann sozialtherapeutisch behandelt, wenn sie u.a. ein langes Strafmaß zu verbüßen haben, therapiemotiviert und tateinsichtig sind. Kriterien wie Vordelikte, bereits vorhandene Hafterfahrungen oder junges Lebensalter sind hingegen kaum ausschlaggebend für die Überstellung von Sexualstraftätern in den sozialtherapeutischen Strafvollzug.Table of ContentsSexualkriminalität und Sexualstraftäter als soziales Problem.- Kriminologische Erkenntnisse über Sexualkriminalität.- Sozialtherapeutischer Strafvollzug.- Empirische Untersuchung zur Delinquenzbelastung und zur Angezeigtheit einer Sozialtherapie.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Männliche Absolute Beginner: Ein
Book SynopsisJeder kennt jemanden, der unfreiwillig alleine geblieben ist. Einige Männer und Frauen – sogenannte Absolute Beginner – hatten sogar noch nie einen Partner und somit die Möglichkeit, sexuelle Erfahrungen zu sammeln. Wie lässt sich Partnerlosigkeit erklären? Robin Sprenger stellt die bestehenden Erklärungsansätze aus Soziologie, Psychologie und Evolutionspsychologie vor. Von besonderem Interesse für seinen kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Erklärungsansatz ist eine psychologische Langzeitstudie, nach der Männer (wie Frauen) in Abhängigkeit vom Ausmaß ihrer Partnerschaftserfahrungen über unterschiedliche Persönlichkeitsprofile verfügen. Der Autor untersucht experimentell, ob sich die Persönlichkeitsprofile sexuell unerfahrener Männer (Absolute Beginner) nicht nur „auf dem Papier“, sondern auch kommunikativ, im Rahmen einer realen Anbahnungssituation, zeigen. Darüber hinaus widmet er sich der Frage, ob die kommunikativen Verhaltensweisen auch eine Relevanz dafür haben, wie erfolgreich die Anbahnungsversuche verlaufen und wie die Probanden dabei auf potentielle Partnerinnen wirken.Table of ContentsGründe der Partnerlosigkeit.- Der Anbahnungsprozess aus systemtheoretischer und psychologischer Perspektive.- Bedeutung kommunikativer Verhaltensweisen für die Einschätzung durch potentielle Partnerinnen.

Book SynopsisZwar ist erst zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts explizit von Fans die Rede. Doch schon lange davor lassen sich Beispiele finden, die aus heutiger Sicht ebenfalls als Fantum bezeichnet werden können.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Fragmente einer Sprache des Essens: Ein Rundgang
Book SynopsisDer vorliegende Band beschäftigt sich zum einen mit der Reduktion des Essens auf eine naturwissenschaftliche Perspektive und moralisches Gebot und hebt zum anderen die kulturelle und soziale Bedeutung hervor.Seit der Entstehung der Ernährungswissenschaft Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts haben wir uns daran gewöhnt, von Vitaminen, Proteinen und Kohlehydraten zu sprechen. Wir betrachten Lebensmittel aus naturwissenschaftlicher Sicht, lösen sie in einzelne Bestandteile auf und quantifizieren diese, um festzustellen, wie viel wir von welchem Inhaltsstoff zu uns nehmen müssen, um uns gesund zu ernähren. Die Ernährung hat dann die primäre Aufgabe, die Gesundheit zu erhalten und das Leben zu verlängern. Wer sich dieser Aufgabe verweigert, wie vermeintlich die Adipösen, darf moralisch verurteilt werden. Ernährung und Gesundheit haben sich so moralisiert. Somit wird mittels der empfohlenen Ernährung ein zentraler abendländischer Wert vermittelt, der der Mäßigung. Von Platon bis zur protestantischen Ethik, die unser Leben heute bestimmt, wird Mäßigung eingefordert, heute über das rigide Schlankheitsideal.Table of ContentsFallstudien.- Legitimation von Ernährungsinterventionen.- Problemzone Adipositas.- Schlankheit.- Essstörungen.- Essverhalten.- Ein Blick auf Esskultur: Zu Gast bei Giacomo Casanova.- Ernährungspsychologie.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Ethnographie - Pädagogik - Geschlecht: Projekte
Book SynopsisDer Sammelband stellt Berichte aus der pädagogischen Geschlechterforschung vor, die zum einen grundlegende Perspektiven zur ethnographischen Methodologie formulieren und zum anderen konkrete Forschungsergebnisse aus ethnographischen Projekten im Kontext von Kindheit und Jugend präsentieren. Dabei geht es unter anderem um ein theoretisches Verständnis von Differenzen und Unterscheidungspraktiken oder auch um die Berücksichtigung der normativen Verstricktheit der Forschenden in Beobachtungssituationen. Es werden methodologische Herausforderungen aufgegriffen, die für differenz- und ungleichheitssensibel angelegte Untersuchungen typisch sind und damit einen Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung einer Ethnographie pädagogischer Geschlechterforschung leisten möchten.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Sorgerecht, Coparenting und Kindeswohl: Eltern
Book SynopsisWünschen sich unverheiratete Eltern in Deutschland die gemeinsame elterliche Sorge, so müssen sie heiraten oder Sorgeerklärungen zur Erlangung der gemeinsamen Sorge abgeben. Dem rechtlichen Begriff der gemeinsamen Sorge stellt Alexandra N. Langmeyer in der vorliegenden Studie das psychologische Pendant der elterlichen Zusammenarbeit in der Erziehung gegenüber, die in den letzten Jahren zunehmend unter dem Begriff des elterlichen Coparenting in der Familienforschung berücksichtigt wird. Anhand von drei Teilstudien wird aus einer systemischen Perspektive die gemeinsame elterliche Sorge, die Bedeutung des elterlichen Coparenting und des Erziehungsverhaltens sowie deren Zusammenhang zum Kindeswohl beleuchtet.Trade Review“... sehr ausführlich methodisch und inhaltlich präsentiert ... nutzbar und eine gute Hilfe.” (Klemens Lammert, Hildegard Lilly Graßt, in: Blickpunkt Öffentliche Gesundheit, Jg. 33, Heft 1,2017)“...

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Devianz und Delinquenz im Kindes- und
Book SynopsisDieser Band untersucht in einer aktuellen Studie die Verbreitung, das Ausmaß und die Ursachen für deviantes und delinquentes Verhalten im Kindes- und Jugendalter. Delinquentes Verhalten wird in dieser Altersgruppe im Lichte verschiedener Dimensionen von sozialer Ungleichheit beschrieben. Zum Vergleich wird auch abweichendes Verhalten in die empirische Prüfung der Erklärungsansätze einbezogen. Die Befunde stellen den Beginn einer Analyse dar, die Unterschiede in der Lebenssituation, sowie den Einfluss sozialer Ungleichheit auf die Entstehung und Entwicklung abweichender Lebensläufe in den Blick nimmt. Zu den Ungleichheitsdimensionen zählen hierbei askriptive Aspekte (u.a. Geschlecht, Migrationshintergrund, Nachbarschaften), kulturelle Differenzen (z.B. Freizeitverhalten, Peers, Erziehungsstile) und persönliche Heterogenitäten (Werte, Selbstkontrolle, psychopatische Merkmale). Umfangreiche Erhebungen in Schulklassen aus Dortmund und Nürnberg erlauben überdies auch städtevergleichende Auswertungen.Table of ContentsTheorie und Methodik der Studie.- Devianz und Delinquenz.- Askriptive Ungleichheitsdimensionen.- Kulturelle Differenz.- Persönliche Heterogenitäten.- Schulprozesse.
