Description
Book SynopsisThis book presents Nonviolent Resistance (NVR) for traumaâfocused care, adopting a systemic and traumaâorientated approach to aggressive and selfâdestructive behaviours in young people. Based on systemic therapy methods and principles in socioâpolitical NVR, NVR targets aggressive and selfâdestructive child behaviours in a relational way to help parents develop selfâefficacy in responding to the problematic behaviour and grow a supportive community around the family. In this book, Peter Jakob integrates the original NVR model with aspects of trauma and attachment theory, solutionâfocused therapy and narrative therapy, in order to expand the efficacy of NVR in traumaâfocused work. Grounded in Jakobâs extensive clinical experience and research, the book will help the reader navigate the complexity of working across various systems in family therapy and counselling, particularly within challenging contexts such as multiâstressed families, adoptive families, fosterâ and residential care
