Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Gewusst wie, gewusst warum: Die Logik
Book SynopsisDer sehr erfolgreiche kompakte Band »Systemische Interventionen« der beiden Autoren wird in ihrem neuen Buch ergänzt durch die erkenntnistheoretischen Basics, ohne die systemisches Arbeiten in allen Beratungskontexten im luftleeren Raum bleibt. Es geht um die selbstverständliche Konsequenz einer systemischen Sicht auf die Welt. Interventionen, die als systemisch bekannt und beliebt geworden sind, lassen sich auf einige wesentliche Gedanken zurückführen: Das Interesse richtet sich nicht mehr darauf, Fakten herauszufinden, es wird also nicht nach etwas gesucht, das es gibt, sondern eher nach dem, was sich zwischen Menschen ereignet. Daraus entsteht wie von selbst eine Praxis, die nicht versucht, Defizite zu finden oder eine Ursache, eine Diagnose, eine Störung festzuschreiben. Systemische Praxis sucht danach, wie ein Phänomen, ein Problem von unterschiedlichen Menschen unterschiedlich beschrieben wird. Sie will Beziehungsverhältnisse ergründen und Reflexionen anregen. Sie zielt auf die Muster flüchtiger Kommunikationen, die sich in den vielen, ständig neu erzeugten zwischenmenschlichen und psychischen Wirklichkeiten menschlichen Lebens beobachten lassen. Es geht weniger um den richtigen Einsatz von Techniken oder Tools als vielmehr um eine systemische Sicht auf die Welt.

American Psychological Association Coparenting
Book SynopsisJames McHale defines coparenting as “an enterprise undertaken by two or more adults who together take on the care and upbringing of children for whom they share responsibility.” Coparents may be members of the child’s extended family, divorced or foster parents, or other specialized caregivers. This landmark book was written to encourage good coparenting as a powerful support for at-risk children’s social, emotional, and behavioral needs. Part I examines the concepts, theories, and empirical research underlying this dynamic socialization force characteristic of all family systems. Part II explores clinical applications—the various assessments and interventions that promote coparenting. The result is essential reading for those interested in the welfare of children.Table of ContentsContributorsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: What Is Coparenting? James P. McHale and Kristin M. LindahlI.

American Psychological Association EmotionFocused Family Therapy
Book SynopsisIn this treatment manual, Adele Lafrance, Katherine A. Henderson, and Shari Mayman provide mental health professionals with guidelines for implementing emotion-focused family therapy (EFFT), an exciting new intervention in which caregivers are the primary healing agents in their loved one’s treatment. EFFT was initially created to treat eating disorders, and then developed into a transdiagnostic approach that can be applied to any emotion- or behavior-based disorder with various relationship dynamics across the lifespan, including parent–child relationships (even if the child is an adult) and romantic partnerships. The authors describe how to teach caregivers advanced skills for supporting their loved ones through emotion and behavior coaching. Therapists will also learn collaborative strategies for strengthening healing bonds between the caregiver and the loved one and healing relational ruptures.

Book SynopsisBrief strategic family therapy (BSFT) is an evidence-based intervention for diagnosing and correcting patterns of family interactions that are linked to distressing experiences and symptoms in children ages 6-18. This clinical guide shows practitioners how to transform family interactions from conflictive to collaborative, from habitual to proactive, so that the love trapped behind the anger can flourish, and family members can re-bond in loving and mutually caring relationships Readers of this book will learn how to engage families that are reluctant to become involved in family therapy, and structure a 12-to 16-week intervention that will effect powerful behavioral change. Therapists help adults learn to collaborate with one another to nurture, guide, and handle misbehavior among children and teens. Dozens of detailed clinical examples show practitioners how to navigate family complexities, and how to work through the challenging decision points they present.Table of ContentsForeword Preface Introduction1.

American Psychological Association Working With Parents in Therapy
Book SynopsisThis book presents parenthood as a developmental process that can be supported by a mentalization-based model of intervention.Trade ReviewThe research makes clear that working with parents and carers is essential if we are going to support the mental health of children and young people. But how should we work with them? And do we have to approach the work differently when working with the parents of a toddler compared with, say, a teenager? This brilliant book draws on a mentalizing model to show how we can all learn to do this work better. It is the kind of book that I wish I could have read when I first started working in this field; but it also offers important insights and practical advice for the experienced psychotherapist."—Nick Midgley, PhD, Professor of Psychological Therapies With Children and Young People, University College London and the Anna Freud Centre, London, UK"Adults who become parents are developing alongside their infants and children. They are especially learning how their mental life shapes and is shaped by their children. In this very accessible and clinically rich volume, the authors describe this developmental journey that is the privilege and responsibility of parenting. Their insights are invaluable to clinicians and parents alike."—Linda Mayes, MD, Arnold Gesell Professor, Yale Child Study Center, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USATable of ContentsForewordPeter Fonagy Acknowledgments Introduction: Our Framework to Mentalization-Based Therapy With ParentsI.

New York University Press The Psychology of Family Law
Book SynopsisWinner, 2021 Lawrence S. Wrightsman Book Award, given by the American Psychology-Law SocietyBridges family law and current psychological research to shape understanding of legal doctrine and policy Family law encompasses legislation related to domestic relationshipsmarriages, parenthood, civil unions, guardianship, and more. No other area of law touches so closely to home, or is changing at such a rapid pacein fact, family law is so dynamic precisely because it is inextricably intertwined with psychological issues such as human behavior, attitudes, and social norms. However, although psychology and family law may seem a natural partnership, both fields have much to learn from each other. Our laws often fail to take into account our empirical knowledge of psychology, falling back instead on faulty assumptions about human behavior. This book encourages our use of psychological research and methods to inform understandings of family law. It considers issues including child custody, intTrade Review"An informative read for those who are interested in understanding the often obscure relationship between legal codes and the scientific facts, principles, and logical considerations upon which they rely. Under the category "facts", the author offers a thoughtful and thorough examination of the evidence that has been used to either justify existing codes or to make alterations after enactment." * Metapsychology *

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Mother's Hands: Desire, Fantasy and the
Book SynopsisIn this book the bestselling author and psychoanalyst Massimo Recalcati offers a fundamental re-examination of what ‘being a mother’ means today, in a world where new social and sexual freedoms mean that motherhood is no longer the sole destiny of women. Questioning the belief that a mother’s love is natural and unconditional, he paints a more complex and troubling picture of the mother–child relationship, observing that mothers may even resent their children as a result of unresolved conflicts between different dimensions of love. The mother’s hands not only nurture but can also potentially harm. Recalcati argues that it is precisely in these competing demands that motherhood fulfils its function: only if the mother is ‘not-all-mother’ can a child experience the absence that enables it to access the symbolic and cultural world. Recalcati cuts through conventional wisdom to offer a fresh perspective on the changing nature of motherhood today. An international bestseller, this book will appeal to a wide general readership, as well as to students and scholars of gender studies, psychoanalysis and related disciplines.Trade Review‘This book from one of Italy’s most popular public intellectuals turns our conventional understanding of motherly love on its head, encouraging a complete rethink of what motherhood means today. Written with Recalcati’s typical flair and sagacity, it will be of interest to a very wide readership.’Dany Nobus, Brunel University, London ‘In this poetic and thought-provoking book, Massimo Recalcati explores the many images of the mother to be found in both psychoanalysis and popular culture, urging a questioning of the prejudices and clichés that are so often taken for granted. Without downplaying the complexity and ambivalences of the mother–child relation, he emphasises the positive, life-giving transmission of the mother, and shows us with clarity and elegance the many levels at which this operates.’Darian Leader, Psychoanalyst, Centre for Freudian Analysis and ResearchTable of Contents Introduction 1.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Telemachus Complex: Parents and Children
Book SynopsisFatherhood today is in crisis. Fathers have gone missing, or have become their children’s playmates, and the symbolic authority of the father has lost its power. What remains of the father today in the wake of this decline, and what should the relation between children and parents now be? In addressing these questions, Massimo Recalcati draws inspiration from the story of Telemachus in Homer’s Odyssey. The Telemachus complex is the reverse of the Oedipus complex. Recalcati argues that children are possessed not just with a desire to annihilate their father, as their key rival in the contest to win the mother’s love, but also with a longing for a father-figure, as someone who brings meaning, structure and order to their lives and who imbues them with a sense of the future. This fresh and insightful account of the changing relations between parents and children in the era of the decline of the father will be of great interest to a wide general readership.Trade Review‘With his customary blend of wisdom, acumen and wit, Recalcati travels deep into the world of Odysseus to re-tell the story of Telemachus for our times. This book shows the Italian master at his thought-provoking best. All fathers shall prescribe it to their children!’Dany Nobus, Professor of Psychoanalytic Psychology, Brunel University LondonTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Information Age Publishing Families and Family Values in Society and Culture
Book SynopsisThis book which has been created in the framework of the EU-funded COST Action INTERFASOL brings together researchers from 22 INTERFASOL countries, who frame intergenerational family solidarity in the specific historical, cultural, social and economic context of their own country. Integrating different perspectives from social and political sciences, economics, communication, health and psychology, the book offers country-specific knowledge and new insights into family relations, family values and family policies across Europe.Trade ReviewThis comprehensive study of families in Europe reveals the strength and variation in family solidarity and values. By drawing together detailed descriptions of continuity and change, Families and Family Values in Society and Culture provides a fascinating account of the social and cultural contexts that shape European family life. The case studies of families in different European countries compare demographic and welfare regimes to consider the challenges facing generations in Europe and responses to these. The book is an invaluable resource for researchers studying family life and inter-generational solidarity."" — Clare Holdsworth, Professor of Social Geography, Keele University""This book is based on the testimony of experts, each of them proposing analyses which are specific to their own society. It provides an opportunity for the reader to take a new look at the evolution of intergenerational solidarity in 22 countries, whose wealth, welfare systems, and demographic situations, as well as recent events (wars, migratory movements, …) offer specific challenges. It adopts the perspective of the insider to shed light not only on culture and values in each country, but also on conflicts between tradition and modernity, and between subcultures in the same society. The book thus allows better understanding of changes in intergenerational and gender relations, and the variety of solutions implemented or suggested to promote more satisfactory expressions of intergenerational solidarity for the next decade. Families and Family Values in Society and Culture provides an invaluable contribution for cross-cultural and social sciences researchers interested in understanding how different forms of solidarity arise from family and social dynamics."" — Anne Marie Fontaine, Professor of Psychology, University of Porto

Information Age Publishing Making Meaning, Making Motherhood
Book SynopsisThis volume is the firstborn of the Annals of Cultural Psychology - a yearly edited book series in the field of Cultural Psychology. It came into being as there is a need for reflection on “where and what” the discipline needs to further develop, in such a way, the current frontiers and to foster the elaboration of new fruitful ideas.The topic chosen for the first volume is perhaps the most fundamental of all- motherhood. We are all here because at some unspecifiable time in the past, different women labored hard to bring each of us into this World. These women were not thinking of culture, but were just giving birth. Yet by their reproductive success—and years of worry about our growing up—we are now, thankfully to them, in a position to discuss the general notion of motherhood from the angle of cultural psychology. Each person who is born needs a mother—first the real one, and then possibly a myriad of symbolic ones—from “my mother” to “mother superior” to “my motherland”. Thus, it is not by coincidence if the first volume of the series is about motherhood. We the editors feel it is the topic that links our existence with one of the universals of human survival as a species.In very general terms what this book aims to do is to question the ontology of Motherhood in favor of an ontogenetic approach to Life’s Course, where having a child represents a big transition in a woman’s trajectory and where becoming (or not becoming) mother is heuristically more interesting than being a mother. We here present a reticulated work that digs into a cultural phenomenon giving to the readers the clear idea of making motherhood (and not taking for granted motherhood). By looking at absences, shadows and ruptures rather than the normativeness of motherhood, cultural psychology can provide a theoretical model in explaining the cultural multifaceted nature of human activity.

Information Age Publishing Home in Transition: The Cultural Construction of
