by Hanna GundlachHanna Gundlach untersucht anhand von qualitativen Interviews und Fokusgruppen mit jugendlichen Eltern wie Fachkräften Bedingungen für die Nutzung sowie die Nicht-Nutzung von Angeboten der Familienbildung durch jugendliche Eltern. Im Ergebnis der handlungstheoretisch ausgerichteten Analyse wird eine aus den Daten heraus entwickelte Grounded Theory zur (Nicht-)Nutzung von Familienbildung durch jugendliche Eltern in Form eines Handlungsmodells vorgestellt. Durch das Handlungsmodell wird das komplexe Zusammenspiel von Bedingungen wie Konsequenzen der (Nicht-)Nutzung verdeutlicht, die sowohl auf die Lebenswelt der jugendlichen Eltern als auch auf die Angebote der Familienbildung bezogen sind.
Jugendliche im Übergang zwischen Schule und Beruf: Psychische Belastungen und Ressourcen
by Agnes Von Wyl Filomena SabatellaIm Zentrum dieses Buchs steht die psychische Gesundheit junger Menschen im Übergang von der Schule zum Beruf. Diese Übergangsphase ist für viele Jugendliche eine eher schwierige Phase. Das Buch zeigt die Hintergründe der Schwierigkeiten auf und verdeutlicht, warum gering qualifizierte Jugendliche oder diejenigen mit psychischen Belastungen besondere Mühe haben, Anschluss zu finden. Tatsächlich steigt in Übergangsphasen, so auch in der Adoleszenz, das Risiko, eine psychische Erkrankung zu entwickeln. Zudem bringt der im Jugendalter erfolgende Wechsel zwischen Ausbildung und Arbeitswelt einen Anstieg von beruflichen und persönlichen Anforderungen mit sich, den nicht alle bewältigen können. Für Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene ist es jedoch essenziell, im Arbeitsprozess Fuß fassen zu können und integriert zu bleiben, um sich gesund entwickeln zu können. Dieses Buch präsentiert unterschiedliche empirische Arbeiten, die sich mit vielfältigen Aspekten der Übergangsphase zwischen Schule und Arbeit befassen. Die empirischen Befunde werden von relevanten Akteuren aus der Praxis kommentiert. Das Thema dieses Buchs ist von besonderer Bedeutung für die verschiedenen Berufsgruppen aber auch Familienangehörigen, welche Jugendliche in diesem Übergang begleiten, z.B. Eltern, Lehrer oder Coachs. Herausgeberinnen Filomena Sabatella, lic. phil. studierte Psychologie an der Universität Zürich. Zurzeit arbeitet sie am Psychologischen Institut der ZHAW.

Jugendliche Lebenswelten
by Peter Martin Thomas Marc CalmbachEin ermutigendes Buch, das endlich einmal nicht den Defizitblick in der Vordergrund stellt, sondern zeigt, wie viele Ressourcen die junge Generation in Deutschland in Wirklichkeit hat. Klaus HurrelmannWie sehen die aktuellen Lebenswelten 14- bis 17-Jähriger in Deutschland aus? Wie denken, fühlen und lernen sie, wie gestalten sie ihren Alltag, wo finden sie Sinn, Chancen und Anerkennung? Eine große Vielfalt an grundlegenden Wertorientierungen, an Alltagseinstellungen etwa zu Schule, Familie, Freizeit, Konsum und Medien sowie Unterschiede in der sozialen Lage kennzeichnen Jugendliche heute. Ähnliche Lebensweisen und Lebensauffassungen gruppiert die Sinus-Jugendforschung in verschiedenen Lebenswelten, die die Vielfalt der Jugend abbilden. Diese Studien des SINUS-Instituts zählen mittlerweile zu den Standardwerken der Jugendforschung und bilden eine wichtige Grundlage für die Arbeit mit jungen Menschen. Jugendliche Lebenswelten befasst sich mit den Fragen, Handlungsanforderungen und Perspektiven, die sich aus der Kenntnis jugendlicher Lebenswelten ergeben. Angesprochen werden Themen wie das Interesse Jugendlicher an Selbstinszenierung und Jugendszenen oder deren Begeisterung für Mode- und Elektronik-Marken. Diese werden oft problemorientiert diskutiert, während die Autorinnen und Autoren in diesem Buch sie als zentrale Facette von Identität auffassen. Bei der Frage nach dem Verständnis von politischer Bildung diskutieren sie , wie man verhindert, "benachteiligte Jugendliche" auszugrenzen. Den zeitlosen Begriffen wie Sinn, Glück und Erfolg und deren unterschiedlichen Bedeutungshorizonten in den verschiedenen Lebenswelten widmet sich ein weiteres Kapitel. Mit den wünschenswerten und notwendigen Implikationen für Politik, Pädagogik und Gesellschaft schließen die Herausgeber von Jugendliche Lebenswelten.

Julian of Norwich: Mystic or Visionary? (Routledge Studies in Medieval Religion and Culture)
by Kevin MagillJulian of Norwich was a fourteenth-century woman who at the age of thirty had a series of vivid visions centred around the crucified Christ. Twenty years later, while living as an anchoress in a church, she is believed to have set out these visions in a text called the Showing of Love. Going against the current trend to place Julian in the category of mystic - a classification which defines her visions as deeply private, psychological events - this book sets Julian’s thinking in the context of a visionary project used to instruct the Christian community. Drawing on recent developments in philosophy that debate the objectivity and rationality of vision and perception, Kevin J. Magill gives full attention to the depth and richness of the visual language and modes of perception in the Showing of Love. In particular, the book focuses on the ways in which Julian presented her vision to the Christian society around her, demonstrating the educative potential of interaction between the ‘isolated’ anchoress and the wider community. Challenging Julian’s identification as a mystic and solitary female writer, this book argues that Julian engaged in a variety of educative methods – oral, visual, conversational, mnemonic, alliterative – that extend the usefulness of her text.

The Jumbled Jigsaw: An Insider's Approach to the Treatment of Autistic Spectrum `Fruit Salads'
by Donna WilliamsThe Jumbled Jigsaw exposes autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) not as single entities but as a combination of a whole range of often untreated, sometimes easily treatable, underlying conditions. Exploring everything from mood, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive and tic disorders to information processing and sensory perceptual difficulties, including dependency issues, identity problems and much more, Donna demonstrates how a number of such conditions can combine to form a 'cluster condition' and underpin the label 'autism spectrum disorder'. Donna Williams encourages and empowers families to look at what they can do to change their child's environment to address anxiety, overload and other issues. She also gives carers the necessary information to navigate the booming autism marketplace and demand the right tools for the job. The author also challenges professionals to adopt a multi-disciplinary approach to identifying and treating the cluster conditions that make up an autism spectrum diagnosis, and to improve service delivery to those in need. The Jumbled Jigsaw is a call to modern society to take responsibility and accept diversity. It is written in a very human and user-friendly way for parents and for Auties and Aspies themselves, but it is also aimed at carers, professionals, policy-makers and service providers.
