Partners in Thought: Working with Unformulated Experience, Dissociation, and Enactment (Psychoanalysis in a New Key Book Series)

Building on the innovative work of Unformulated Experience, Donnel B. Stern continues his exploration of the creation of meaning in clinical psychoanalysis with Partners in Thought. The chapters in this fascinating book are undergirded by the concept that the meanings which arise from unformulated experience are catalyzed by the states of relatedness in which the meanings emerge. In hermeneutic terms, what takes place in the consulting room is a particular kind of conversation, one in which patient and analyst serve as one another’s partner in thought, an emotionally responsive witness to the other’s experience. Enactment, which Stern theorizes as the interpersonalization of dissociation, interrupts this crucial kind of exchange, and the eventual breach of enactments frees analyst and patient to resume it. Later chapters compare his views to the ideas of others, considering mentalization theory and the work of the Boston Change Process Study Group. Approaching the link between dissociation and enactment via hermeneutics, metaphor, and narrative, among other perspectives, Stern weaves an experience-near theory of psychoanalytic relatedness that illuminates dilemmas clinicians find themselves in every day. Full of clinical illustrations showing how Stern works with dissociation and enactment, Partners in Thought is destined to take its place beside Unformulated Experience as a major contribution to the psychoanalytic literature.

Partnerschaft und Sexualität bei geistiger Behinderung

Partnerschaft und Sexualität im Alter (Internationale Gerontologische Gespräche #1)

Partnerschaft und Sexualität im höheren Lebensalter

Das Buch behandelt den Themenbereich "Partnerschaft und Sexualität im höheren Lebensalter" unter medizinischen, psychologischen und sozialen Aspekten und beruht auf den Beiträgen einer 1996 in München abgehaltenen Arbeitstagung im Rahmen der Veranstaltungsreihe "Verhaltenstherapie im Alter". Im ersten Teil des Buches liegt der Schwerpunkt auf normalen altersbedingten Veränderungen im körperlichen, seelischen und sozialen Bereich. Damit soll einiges von dem Hintergrundwissen vermittelt werden, das jeder benötigt, der mit alten Menschen therapeutisch arbeitet. Die Beiträge des zweiten Teils befassen sich mit Diagnostik und Behandlung von Störungen im Bereich von Sexualität und Partnerschaft. Das bewußt interdisziplinär ausgerichtete Buch wendet sich an Angehörige aller in diesem Bereich tätigen Berufsgruppen wie Ärzte, Psychologen, Sozialarbeiter und Pflegepersonal.

Partnerschaftsprobleme: Handbuch für den Therapeuten

Wie die steigenden Scheidungszahlen in fast allen westlichen Ländern zeigen, sind Schwierigkeiten in der Ehe ein bedeutendes soziales Pro­ blem. Man schätzt, daß in der Bundesrepublik etwajede vierte bis dritte Ehe durch Scheidung oder Trennung enden wird. Die Auswirkungen von ehelichen Auseinandersetzungen oder von Scheidung auf die emo­ tionale Befindlichkeit der Partner und vor allem auf die Kinder sind bis­ her kaum erforscht; wie groß die Bedeutung dieses Problems ist, zeigen Zahlenaus den USA: In den nächsten Jahrzehnten werden ca. 40% aller Kinder von Scheidung betroffen sein. Schonjetzt ist deutlich, daß Ehe­ probleme in enger Beziehung zur psychischen Gesundheit stehen und bei der Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung von seelischen Problemen eine große Rolle spielen können. Die Ehe- und Partnertherapie war bis vor kurzem ein Bereich, in dem es zwar viele Ansätze, aber kaum harte Daten gab. Die Wirksam­ keit der meisten, heute praktizierten Therapien ist immer noch nicht be­ legt, dementsprechend hängt es oft von der Ausbildung und Intuition des Praktikers ab, wie einem ratsuchenden Paar geholfen wird. Leider ist die persönliche Erfahrung des Klinikers nicht immer eine gute Richt­ schnur des Handelns, vor allem lassen sich so Mythen und falsches Vor­ gehen nicht abbauen.

Partnerschaftsqualität und kindliche Entwicklung: Ein Überblick für Therapeuten, Pädagogen und Pädiater (essentials)

Internationale Befunde haben konsistent dargelegt, dass destruktive Paarkonflikte und Scheidungen zu den wichtigsten Risikofaktoren für eine ungünstige kindliche Entwicklung gehören. Für Kinder sind Störungen in der Partnerschaft der Eltern in hohem Maße bedrohlich und gehen im Falle einer Trennung der Eltern mit dem schmerzvollen Bruch des bisherigen Lebensentwurfs einher. Dies bedeutet in aller Regel ein hoch destabilisierendes Ereignis, welches von Kindern vielgestaltige Anpassungsleistungen abverlangt. Ermutigenderweise hat die gegenwärtige Paar- und Familienforschung Bedingungen identifiziert, wie Paarkonflikte und Scheidungen möglichst konstruktiv verlaufen – um der Partnerschaft und des Kindeswohls willen.

Partnerships for Inclusive Education: A Critical Approach to Collaborative Working

Shortlisted for the NASEN/TES 2007 Book Award Increased partnership between professionals, particularly through the integration of services, indicates a major opportunity for child and parent participation, but one that seems in danger of being side-stepped. Drawing on substantial research evidence, this book looks at reasons for this situation; what is happening now, what developments and initiatives have been tried and what can be done to develop a culture of participation? Some of the main threats to participation are discussed in this book including: Has ‘partnership’ ever been? Who is excluded from 'partnership'? Which discourses have made participation illusive and what are the implications – theoretical and practical - for how we move forward? Partnerships for Inclusive Education includes a helpful framework map which guides critical thinking towards the development of a culture of collaboration and presents original and stimulating ideas to open up the complex processes that can frustrate participative practice. Combining socio-cultural ideas with post-structural thinking gives this book a strong yet accessible theoretical basis, making it a valuable resource to both an academic and a professional educational audience.

Partnerships for Mental Health: Narratives of Community and Academic Collaboration

This unique title richly tells the stories of partnership and collaboration. The narrative voice of each chapter derives from the people who tell their story -- immigrants, survivors of torture, mental health experts, urban people, rural people, teachers, doctors, attorneys, students and international leaders. These authors provide emotionally powerful tales that move, affect and encourage readers. The collection of narratives is inspired by these individuals, who believe that collaboration can bring authentic mutualism, promise-keeping and innovation to address the hardest problems we face as a world community. Partnerships for Mental Health: Narratives of Community and Academic Collaboration is about the stories of innovation and collaboration occurring between community and academic partners who have undertaken among the very hardest of problems – such as the care of veterans with ravaging posttraumatic stress disorder; the care of homeless individuals with HIV, addiction and mental illness; the care of caregivers for Hispanic family members with Alzheimer’s disease; the prevention of illness in impoverished vulnerable youth; and the rescue of profoundly mentally ill earthquake survivors. In addition, this title not only also tells the story of identity formation of early-career physicians with a calling to work with distinct populations for whom suffering and stigma are immense, but also the stories of the special bonds that develop and are strengthened between community members and academic colleagues and ultimately, between friends. A truly indispensable contribution to the literature, this captivating and novel title illustrates and inspires collaboration in order to bring about better health outcomes for people affected by mental health issues in communities throughout the world.
