Helping Children with Troubled Parents: A Guidebook (Helping Children with Feelings)
by Margot Sunderland Nicky ArmstrongThis book is designed to enable practitioners to help children whose emotional wellbeing is being adversely affected by troubled parents. These are children who live with the burden of having to navigate their parent's troubled emotional states, often leaving them with a mass of painful feelings about a chaotic and disturbing world. They can feel alarmed by their parent rather than experiencing them as 'home', and a place of safety and solace. The author explores the fact that when parents are preoccupied with their own troubles, they are often unable to effectively address their child's core relational needs, e.g. soothing, validating, attunement, co-adventure, interactive play. As a result, children are left self-helping, which all too often means drugs, drink, self-harm, depression, anxiety, eating disorders or problems with anger in the teenage years. This guidebook offers readers a wealth of vital theory and effective interventions for working with these children and, specifically, the key feelings such children need help with. Particular focus is given to the effects on children of: family breakdown; separation and divorce; witnessing parents fighting; and parents who suffer from depression or anxiety, mental or physical ill-health, alcohol or drug addiction. Readers will learn: the complexity of children's feelings about their troubled parents; how to enable children to address their unspoken hurt, fear, grief, rage, and resentment about their troubled parent in order to move forward in their lives; how to empower children to find their voice when they have been left in the role of impotent bystander; effective parent-child intervention when parental troubles are adversely affecting the child; and how to help a parent and child 'find' each other again.

Helping Parents in Dispute: Child-Centred Mediation at County Court (Routledge Revivals)
by Greg MantleThis title was first published in 2001. When marriages break down, most parents experience difficulty in agreeing on contact or residence arrangements for their children. Family Courts Services provide mediation as a way of resolving differences and many parents accept this offer of assistance. Featuring extensive empirical research, this book examines the effectiveness of family mediation services and challenges the view that court-based interventions are unlikely to be successful.

The Helping Professional's Guide to Ethics: Theory in Practice
by Valerie Bryan Scott Sanders Laura E. KaplanThe Helping Professional's Guide to Ethics, Second Edition develops a comprehensive framework for ethics based on Bernard Gert's theory of common morality. Moving beyond codes of ethics, Bryan, Sanders, and Kaplan encourage students to develop a cohesive sense of ethical reasoning that both validates their moral intuition and challenges moral assumptions. Part I of the text introduces basic moral theory, provides an overview to moral development, and introduces the common morality framework. Part II focuses on common ethical issues faced by helping professionals such as: confidentiality, competency, paternalism, informed consent, and dual relationships. Each chapter provides an overview of each concept and their ethical relevance for practice. Throughout the text, students put their critical thinking skills into practice to promote deep learning. Real-life cases bridge the gap between theory and practice, and discussion questions reinforce the concepts introduced in each chapter.

Henri Lefebvre and Education: Space, history, theory (New Directions in the Philosophy of Education)
by Sue MiddletonDuring his lifetime Henri Lefebvre (1901-1991) was renowned in France as a philosopher, sociologist and activist. Although he published more than 70 books, few were available in English until The Production of Space was translated in 1991. While this work - often associated with geography - has influenced educational theory’s ‘spatial turn,’ educationalists have yet to consider Lefebvre’s work more broadly. This book engages in an educational reading of the selection of Lefebvre’s work that is available in English translation. After introducing Lefebvre’s life and works, the book experiments with his concepts and methods in a series of five ‘spatial histories’ of educational theories. In addition to The Production of Space, these studies develop themes from Lefebvre’s other translated works: Rhythmanalysis, The Explosion, the three volumes of Critique of Everyday Life and a range of his writings on cities, Marxism, technology and the bureaucratic state. In the course of these inquiries, Lefebvre’s own passionate interest in education is uncovered: his critiques of bureaucratised schooling and universities, the analytic concepts he devised to study educational phenomena, and his educational methods. Throughout the book Middleton demonstrates how Lefebvre’s conceptual and methodological tools can enhance the understanding of the spatiotemporal location of educational philosophy and theory. Bridging disciplinary divides, it will be key reading for researchers and academics studying the philosophy, sociology and history of education, as well as those working in fields beyond education including geography, history, cultural studies and sociology.

Henri Lefebvre's Critical Theory of Space (Marx, Engels, and Marxisms)
by Francesco BiagiHenri Lefebvre's Critical Theory of Space offers a rigorous analysis and revival of Lefebvre’s works and the context in which he produced them. Biagi traces the historical-critical time-frame of Lefebvre's intellectual investigations, bringing to light a theoretical constellation in which historical methods intersect with philosophical and sociological issues: from Marxist political philosophy to the birth of urban sociology; from rural studies to urban and everyday life studies in the context of capitalism. Examining Lefebvre’s extended investigations into the urban sphere as well as highlighting his goal of developing a “general political theory of space” and of innovating Marxist thought, and clarifying the various (more or less accurate) meanings attributed to Lefebvre's concept of the “right to the city” (analysed in the context of the French and international sociological and philosophical-political debate), Henri Lefebvre's Critical Theory of Space ultimately brings the contours of Lefebvre’s innovative perspective—itself developed at the end of the “short twentieth century”—back into view in all its richness and complexity.
Henri Tajfel: Explorer of Identity and Difference (European Monographs in Social Psychology)
by Rupert BrownThis book offers a biographical account of Henri Tajfel, one of the most influential European social psychologists of the twentieth century, offering unique insights into his ground-breaking work in the areas of social perception, social identity and intergroup relations. The author, Rupert Brown, paints a vivid and personal portrait of Tajfel’s life, his academic career and its significance to social psychology, and the key ideas he developed. It traces Tajfel’s life from his birth in Poland just after the end of World War I, his time as a prisoner-of-war in World War II, his work with Jewish orphans and other displaced persons after that war, and thence to his short but glittering academic career as a social psychologist. Based on a range of sources including interviews, archival material, correspondence, photographs, and scholarly output, Brown expertly weaves together Tajfel’s personal narrative with his evolving intellectual interests and major scientific discoveries. Following a chronological structure with each chapter dedicated to a significant transition period in Tajfel’s life, the book ends with an appraisal of two of his principal posthumous legacies: the European Association of Social Psychology, a project always close to Tajfel’s heart and for which he worked tirelessly; and the 'social identity approach' to social psychology initiated by Tajfel over forty years ago and now one of the discipline’s most important perspectives. This is fascinating reading for students, established scholars, and anyone interested in social psychology and the life and lasting contribution of this celebrated scholar.

Henry Fothergill Chorley: A Victorian Artist (Routledge Revivals)
by Robert Terrell BledsoeFirst published in 1998, this book focuses on the once celebrated but now neglected musical journalism of Henry Forthergill Chorley.

Herausforderung demografischer Wandel (Perspektiven der Gesellschaft)
by Bernhard FrevelDie Bevölkerung in Deutschland altert, schrumpft und wird heterogener. Seit Jahren steigt die Lebenserwartung der Menschen und stagniert die Geburtenquote. Die Wirkungen dieses demografischen Wandels sind tief greifend. So werden die sozialen Sicherungssysteme in der bisherigen Form kaum Bestand haben. Doch nicht nur in diesen Bereichen zeigen sich die Auswirkungen von "Überalterung" der Gesellschaft. Auch die Lebenslagen und Lebensstile der Menschen werden sich verändern. Die Städte und Gemeinden werden die Infrastrukturen anpassen müssen. In diesem Band werden die Veränderungen der Bevölkerungsstruktur und die damit verbundenen Gestaltungsnotwendigkeiten für das Leben in der nahen Zukunft diskutiert. Die Aufsätze geben Hinweise und Denkanreize für aktuell notwendige Planungen und Entscheidungen.
Herausforderung Innovation: Eine interdisziplinäre Debatte (MPI Studies on Intellectual Property and Competition Law #17)
by Reto Hilty Thomas Jaeger Matthias LampingWarum und unter welchen Voraussetzungen soll die Rechtsordnung technischen und kreativen Leistungen Schutz gewähren? Wie wirken sich rechtliche Schutzinstrumente auf den Zugang zu Wissen als grundlegender Triebkraft von Innovation, Kreativität und technischem Fortschritt aus? Die Antworten auf diese Fragen nach dem Zweck und den Wirkungen des Schutzes von Immaterialgütern überspannen zunächst sämtliche Disziplinen der Rechtswissenschaft. Nur im Dialog der Disziplinen lässt sich die gesellschaftspolitische Funktion des Immaterialgüterrechts ermitteln. Der vorliegende Band wirft aktuelle Schlaglichter auf einzelne Aspekte dieser diskursiven, interdisziplinären Suche nach Antworten.
Herausforderung Nahost: Die Außenpolitik der EU und der Türkei im Vergleich
by Rana Deep IslamDie Türkei gilt vielen europäischen Beobachtern als Brücke in die islamische Welt. Abseits einer solchen terminologischen Zuschreibung ist wenig darüber bekannt, welche faktischen Gemeinsamkeiten und Divergenzen die nahostpolitischen Herangehensweisen der Türkei und der EU aufweisen. Welche geografische Reichweite impliziert die arabisch-muslimische Welt aus Sicht der beiden Akteure? Wie gestalten sich ihre sicherheitspolitischen Identitäten gegenüber der Region? Und nicht zuletzt: Was sind die grundlegenden Interessen und Instrumente, mit denen die EU und das Land am Bosporus dieser Weltregion begegnen? Unabhängig von allen Schnittmengen und Diskrepanzen gilt: Mehr Kooperation zwischen beiden Seiten ist notwendig, um den drängenden Herausforderungen im Nahen Osten tatkräftig und entschlossen entgegenzutreten.
