Zur Bedeutung der Bewegung für die kindliche Gesundheit

Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage nach der Bedeutung der Bewegung für die kindliche Gesundheit. Den theoretischen Zugang bilden hier die Konstrukte „Entwicklung“ und „Gesundheit“. Für die Bewältigung altersspezifisch anstehender Entwicklungsaufgaben rückt auf der Grundlage aktueller Erkenntnisse aus der Resilienzforschung sowie gesundheitstheoretischer Aspekte die Frage nach den Ressourcen in den Vordergrund, die das Kind gegen risikoreiche Einflüsse resilient bzw. gesund macht. Welchen Stellenwert hier die Bewegung (Psychomotorik) bekommt, steht als zentrale Frage im Fokus. Anhand von konkreten Beispielen wird in einem praktisch-empirischen Teil aufgezeigt, wie die Stärken der Kinder gestärkt und vorhandene Ressourcen (Schätze) weiter aufgebaut werden können. Abgerundet wird das Ganze durch Forschungsergebnisse, die den engen Zusammenhang zwischen Psychomotorik und kindlicher Bewegung (Resilienz) herausstellen. Ein Handlungsbezogener Leitfaden bietet Praktikern hier die Orientierung für einen schrittweisen Transfer der vorangestellten Überlegungen in die Praxis.

Youth and Internet Pornography: The impact and influence on adolescent development (Adolescence and Society)

This much-needed book provides an in-depth, nonjudgmental look at how consumption of Internet pornography and sexually explicit Internet material (SEIM) impacts the social, physical, emotional, and sexual development of adolescents.

Homo Emotionalis: Zur Systematisierung von Gefühlen in der Politik

In diesem Buch werden wichtige Werke und Ansätze der politikorientierten Emotionenforschung in einen systematischen Zusammenhang gebracht. Dafür werden drei unterschiedliche Typen von Emotionen herausgearbeitet, die in ihrer Gesamtheit den Homo Emotionalis ausmachen: binäre Emotionen, Basisemotionen, reflexive Emotionen. Sie entsprechen individualpsychologischen Entwicklungsstufen, sind aber auch im sozialen und politischen Umgang mit Emotionen relevant. Das Zusammenspiel von Emotionentypen und gesellschaftlichen Konstellationen führt zu verschiedenen Modi politischen Handelns, die unterschiedliche Formen von emotionaler Politik prägen. Es entstehen jeweils eigene Logiken, entlang derer Emotionenpolitik betrieben wird. Der Band richtet sich mit seinem interdisziplinären Fokus an Politikwissenschaft*innen, Anthropolog*innen, Soziolog*innen und Sozialpsycholog*innen.

Homo Emotionalis: On the Systematization of Emotions in Politics

In this book, important works and approaches of policy-oriented emotion research are brought into a systematic context. For this purpose, three different types of emotions are elaborated, which in their totality constitute Homo Emotionalis: binary emotions, basic emotions, reflexive emotions. They correspond to individual-psychological stages of development, but are also relevant in the social and political handling of emotions. The interplay of emotion types and social constellations leads to different modes of political action, which shape different forms of emotional politics. In each case, individual logics emerge along which emotional politics is pursued. With its interdisciplinary focus, this volume is aimed at political scientists, anthropologists, sociologists and social psychologists.

Dissemination and Implementation of Evidence-Based Practices in Child and Adolescent Mental Health

Mental health disorders are common in youth, impacting up to 1 in 5 children and adolescents. Typically, mental health difficulties result in impaired functioning and lower quality of life for both youth and their families. Fortunately, there are psychosocial treatments for the mental health needs of youth that have earned the "evidence-based" label. However, these treatments are not widely available, and it is estimated that it can take up to 17 years for them to be transported into community settings. As a result, a new field of dissemination and implementation (DI) science has emerged to address this problem. Dissemination refers to the transfer of information about evidence-based practices to community settings, and implementation refers to active strategies to assist adoption of evidence-based practices in community settings. Dissemination and Implementation of Evidence-Based Practices in Child and Adolescent Mental Health is the first book to bring together the world's foremost experts in implementation science and evidence-based practices for youth to provide the latest findings around DI for children and adolescents. Chapters provide comprehensive coverage of the science of dissemination and implementation across contexts, disorders, and international perspectives. This volume will be an essential resource to implementation scientists and scholars, instructors in doctoral-level training programs, and graduate students, as well as policymakers, community mental health clinicians and administrators, school administrators, researchers, and other mental health professionals.

Child Anxiety Disorders: A Guide to Research and Treatment, 2nd Edition

Childhood anxiety disorders represent one of the most common psychological disorders found among the general population. They can be serious, distressful, and functionally impairing, so much so that there has been an explosion of interest in their treatment, primarily from pharmacological and cognitive-behavioral perspectives.Addressing these perspectives is the Second Edition of Child Anxiety Disorders. Beidel and Alfano pay close attention to new pharmacological and psychological interventions as well as multi-center trials that compare single and combined treatment modalities. Additionally, they include new case studies, sections on stability of childhood fears and the longitudinal course of anxiety disorders, and a new chapter on sleep and anxiety disorders. Written on the cusp of newly published information and studies, Child Anxiety Disorders is relevant, informative, and indispensible.

Women and Others: Perspectives on Race, Gender, and Empire (Signs of Race)

Discussing intersecting discourses of race, gender and empire in literature, history and contemporary culture, the book begins with the metaphor of 'the other woman' as a repository for the 'otherness' of all women in a masculinist-racist society and shows how discourses of race and sexuality thwart the realization of true inter-racial sisterhood.

Mathematikbezogene Angst

Frances Beier widmet sich der Entstehung mathematikbezogener Angst zu Beginn der Sekundarstufe I. Sie untersucht, in welchen Situationen mathematikbezogene Angst auftritt und durch welche Einflussfaktoren sie hervorgerufen wird. Hierzu werden Sozialisationsaspekte, schulische und außerschulische sowie intrapersonale Rahmenbedingungen diskutiert. Diese werden qualitativ überprüft und Zusammenhänge zu Situationen, in denen mathematikbezogene Angst erlebt wird, hergestellt. Die empirische Fallstudie anhand videographierter Interviews nutzt unter anderem das Facial Action Coding System und liefert so Erkenntnisse zu den einflussreichsten Faktoren und formuliert erste Ansätze zur Intervention und Prävention im mathematischen Schulalltag.Die AutorinFrances Beier arbeitete am Institut für Mathematik und ihre Didaktik an der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg und promovierte dort bei Prof. Dr. Dominik Leiss. Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte liegen in der Emotionsentstehung bezüglich der Mathematik und der Mathematikdidaktik generell. Derzeit befindet sie sich in einer Weiterbildung zur Erlebnispädagogin.

Dissexualität im Lebenslängsschnitt: Theoretische und empirische Untersuchungen zu Phänomenologie und Prognose begutachteter Sexualstraftäter (Monographien aus dem Gesamtgebiete der Psychiatrie #78)

Pädophilie, Hebephilie und sexueller Kindesmissbrauch: Die Berliner Dissexualitätstherapie (Psychotherapie: Manuale)

„Lieben Sie Kinder mehr als Ihnen lieb ist?“ Mit diesem Slogan bietet das Präventionsprojekt Dunkelfeld seit 2005 Menschen, die sich sexuell zu Kindern hingezogen fühlen, diagnostische und therapeutische Unterstützung, um sexuellen Kindesmissbrauch zu verhindern. Das vorliegende Buch informiert ausführlich über Pädophilie (d.h. die sexuelle Ansprechbarkeit für das kindliche Körperschema), Hebephilie (d.h. die sexuelle Ansprechbarkeit für das frühpubertäre Körperschema) und über die Prävention sexueller Traumatisierungen von Kindern und Jugendlichen.

Pedophilia, Hebephilia and Sexual Offending against Children: The Berlin Dissexuality Therapy (BEDIT)

This book provides extensive information on pedophilia (sexual interest in the prepubescent body age), hebephilia (sexual interest in the early-pubescent body age) and sexual offenses against children, i.e., the various forms of child sexual abuse, including the use of child sexual abuse images, along with the current state of knowledge concerning offender groups. The book makes it clear that pedophilia or hebephilia do not inevitably lead to offenses against children – that there are those who keep their desires in their fantasies and do not act them out on the behavioral level. The World Health Organization classifies pedophilia as a mental disorder. It can be safely assumed that many pedophile men in a given community live their lives, unrecognized and adamant about hiding their sexual drives from society and from themselves, and who are genuinely motivated not to act upon their sexual fantasies. The numbers of exactly this particular group of pedophilically inclined non-offenders can be increased by preventive therapeutic measures. For this purpose, two treatment programs have been developed at the Institute of Sexology and Sexual Medicine at the Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin (University Clinic) since the initiation of the Prevention Project Dunkelfeld in 2005 – First, the project involving adult participants (Berlin Dissexuality Therapy: BEDIT) and later, another for adolescents (BEDIT-A), who find themselves attracted to children. Both program manuals are completely integrated into this work, which reflects 15 years of assessment and treatment experience.

Lust in Beziehung: Einführung in die Syndyastische Sexualtherapie als fächerübergreifendes Therapiekonzept der Sexualmedizin

Praxisleitfaden Sexualmedizin: Von der Theorie zur Therapie

Sexualität ist für das Leben des Einzelnen und auf vielfältige Weise für die Gesellschaft insgesamt von Bedeutung. Deshalb muss ihr in der Medizin und im Gesundheitswesen derselbe Stellenwert zukommen, wie das für andere elementare Lebensbereiche längst selbstverständlich ist. Aufbauend auf einer umfassenden Theorie als Grundlage einer ganzheitlichen Therapie liefern die Autoren einen therapieorientierten Praxisleitfaden, in dem die einzelnen Störungen präzise dargestellt sind.

Sexual Medicine in Clinical Practice

Call it a remnant of our Victorian past, but sexual concerns lag behind other aspects of health, both in the training of physicians and therapists and in the way they impart this knowledge to clients. But as sexuality gains recognition as crucial to one’s quality of life, evidence-based methods of understanding and discussing sex are imperative—and not only in treating pathology. Sexual Medicine in Clinical Practice provides framework, rationale, and strategies for both approaching sexual problems and addressing patients’ questions about sexual health, behavior, and relationships. Analyzing sexuality along three dimensions—attachment, reproduction, and desire—this concise manual offers a biopsychosocial lifespan model readily translatable into clinical work. This “syndyastic” framework integrates attachment and relational theory to reinforce the bond between intimacy and connectedness, and models nonjudgmental approaches to disorders of sexual function, maturity, preference, and behavior. The authors’ salutogenic rather than pathogenic focus lets clients become major players in their own healing, and the therapist or doctor serve as expert and guide. Among the topics covered: The communicative function of sexuality. The spectrum of sexual disorders. Principles of diagnostics in sexual medicine. Disease-centered versus client-centered aspects of sexual therapy. Therapeutic approaches for sexual traumatization. New challenges, including preventing child sexual abuse and online sex crime. Plus case studies, interdisciplinary references, and ethical issues. A timely, perspective- and practice-altering volume, Sexual Medicine in Clinical Practice is essential reading for family and primary care physicians, family and sex therapists, health psychologists, and psychiatrists.

Expansive Learning in Professional Contexts: A Materialist Perspective

This book discusses approaches to organizational learning from a materialist point of view. Inspired by research into Police Firearms training, features of expansive learning inform the development of perspectives on training which challenge traditional modes of research and delivery. The book critically reviews a range of approaches to expansive learning and organizational research, establishing the bases and limitations of an Expansive Learning Index whose aim is to support collaborative provision in the context of work-based research. Reflecting on this process, it stresses the strangeness and mobility of workplace learning and develops a philosophical pragmatics for professional development. Approaches to knowledge and enquiry which place language and subjectivity at the heart of development are challenged by a more pragmatic approach to expansive learning: its consequences for training, research, and professional development lead to a discussion of the need for immanent forms of professional ethics.
