Geriatric Residential Care
by Robert D. Hill Anthony Morrison Brian L. Thorn John BowlingThis book's main goal is to examine the concept of residential care from a psychological perspective. The chapter authors espouse a psychological approach to long-term residential care and an effort is made throughout the text to present a model of care that encompasses the whole individual. Since psychologists are being increasingly asked to provide consultation to long-term residential care facilities, the need for psychologically-based care models has become apparent. This text offers assistance in developing and maintaining residential care environments that maximize quality of life and personal well-being in the presence of declining physical and emotional resources that are associated with the vicissitudes of living into advanced aging. Geriatric Residential Care is divided into four parts. Part I addresses psychological and social issues facing the frail elderly who are candidates for, or are living in residential care settings. Part II addresses issues in the assessment of individuals in residential care. Part III highlights the design and execution of intervention strategies in residential care. Part IV addresses how organizational aspects of residential care contexts can optimize the quality and meaningfulness of care.

Germany Possessed (Psychology Revivals)
by H.G. BaynesOriginally published in 1941, the blurb read: "The aim of this work is to state and understand the psychological dynamics of the present conflict. The author is a medical psychologist who has had unusual opportunities for studying German mentality. He characterizes the condition of Germany as one of dæmonic possession and Hitler as the primitive medicine-man who gained a magical ascendency by playing the role of medium to the German unconscious. He analyses the fundamental instability of the collective German psychology and relates this to the dæmonic outbreak. The ambiguous personality of the Führer is seen as the indispensable symbol of a deeply divided nation striving for unity. Whereas the pagan-Christian conflict in the soul of Christendom is urging individual consciousness to a new statement of human values, it has produced in the soul of Germany a state of collective intoxication which is the negation of individuality. This book is the first serious attempt to depict the invisible underground causes of the European catastrophe and to state the issue in terms of epochal transition. It was German violence which started the conflagration, but the fires of anti-Christian revolt have long been smouldering in the general unconscious. Material of a varied kind, gathered from German myth and legend and from a number of contemporary witnesses has been pieced together into a comprehensive psychological survey, embracing both the personal and the impersonal aspects of the German scene. Hitler is discussed as personality, as symbol, and as a disease. The influence of the Wagnerian German myth upon Hitler’s inflammable imagination is discussed and the basic ideas of Hitlerism are traced to their source. This is the attempt of psychology to elucidate the irrational and unintelligible elements in the present chaos."

Germany: Unraveling An Enigma (Interact Ser.)
by Greg NeesSo we think we know a lot about Germans? After all, more Germans have immigrated to the United States than any other ethnic group, and fifty million American citizens currently claim German heritage. The truth is though, Germans are different from us in more ways than we may know. Greg Nees, in this new title in the InterAct sseries, Germany: Unraveling an Enigma, does an outstanding job of explaining those cultural differences that we most need to know in order to have effective and fulfilling interactions with the Germans. Nees explores major German cultural themes: the need for order and obedience to rules and regulations, the insistence on clarity of thought, compartmentalization, the penchant for rational thinking and the love of abstract debate, the sharp distinction between insiders and outsiders, a strong sense of duty, and German communication patterns. As a business consultant who has lived and worked many years with Germans, Greg Nees gives special attention to the German social market economy and to cultural differences in the workplace. Perhaps most valuable, in his last chapter he looks to the future as Germany seeks to create a new identity in the twenty-first century, dealing with such issues as multiculturalism, Americanization, changing lifestyles, the European Union, and globalization.
Germs: A Memoir of Childhood (G - Reference,information And Interdisciplinary Subjects Ser.)
by Richard WollheimA brilliant, meandering exploration of family and childhood memory by one of the most original British philosophers of the twentieth century.Germs is about first things, the seeds from which a life grows, as well as about the illnesses it incurs, the damage it sustains. Written at the end of the life of Richard Wollheim, a major British philosopher of the second half of the twentieth century, this memoir is not the usual story of growing up, but very much about childhood, that early world we all share in which we do not not know either the world or ourselves for sure, and in which things--houses, clothes, meals, parents, the past--loom large around us, seeming both inevitable and uncontrollable. Richard Wollheim's remarkable, moving, and entirely original book recovers this formative moment that makes us who we are before we really are who we are and that haunts us all our lives in lucid and lyrical prose.

Gerontological Social Work Supervision: A Social Work Perspective In Case Management And Direct Care (Haworth Social Work Practice Ser.)
by Carlton Munson Ann Burack Weiss Frances C BrennanThis unique book clearly depicts a need for supervision in gerontological social work settings and provides a framework for approaching supervision. Grounded in two distinct bodies of literature, social work supervision and gerontological social work, this important book thoroughly examines present gerontological practice and principles and focuses on the stages and styles of helping, and teaching case workers to improve agency efficiency.Gerontological Social Work Supervision assumes some gerontological knowledge and experience with aging on the part of the supervisor, yet provides an abundance of informative and practical methods to aid agency success rates with their clients. The authors discuss the supervisory position as a positive asset in all aspects of case work and management. Throughout the chapters, the value of a supervisor is compounded, whether the supervisor is helping a worker in seeing a broader scope of the field of social work with the elderly, providing guidance through gray areas of ethics, or teaching practice skills for work with individuals, groups, or families, the need for an involved and prepared case worker supervisor becomes increasingly clear through the theories and scenarios presented. Extensive examples and helpful considerations make this an invaluable book for agency supervisors and workers. An entire chapter is devoted to providing supervision in the educational arena, promoting a greater awareness of gerontological social work in students preparing for the field. The appendices are packed with lists of additional works on supervision in social work, bibliographies of selected readings in case management, entitlement, long term care, and family caregiving.

Gerontological Social Work: International Perspectives
by Merl C Hokenstad, Jr Katherine KendallIn this fascinating book, leading international experts in gerontology and social work examine the conditions of older people in their respective native lands--Australia, Canada, West Germany, Great Britain, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, and Sweden. In response to the need for world-wide sharing of information and research on one of the most dramatic developments of the twentieth century in the United States and throughout the western world--the aging of the populations--these professionals offer an international dimension and cross-cultural knowledge to social gerontology and gerontological social work. Emphasis is placed on the social service delivery system in each country together with an analysis of social work roles and activities. The informative articles include demographic notes, the socioeconomic characteristics of older people in each country, and the author’s forecast of trends, issues, and future directions. These timely reviews of what has worked elsewhere may spark greater creativity among educators and practitioners in social work and gerontology in finding alternative solutions to the many problems professionals face as advocates and service providers for older adults. Social work practitioners and educators examine social services for seniors in eight different industrialized countries. Each chapter--focusing on a different country--features: a review of the social service delivery system, providing information about its historical evolution and current organization a look at home care programs, as well as community based and institutionally based services a review of service availability and accesibility with consideration of how social services are coordinated with health care and other human services special attention is given to social work roles within the social service system, including an examination of direct service and planning/management roles a consideration of the importance and usefulness of social work in service provision for each country a brief analysis of current trends and furture directions for gerontological social work and social services for the elderly. The cross-national perspectives will highlight global trends in the industrial world and illuminate distinctions among countries, based upon a particular historical, political, and cultural context. Gerontological Social Work provides a wider base for understanding and evaluating policies and programs in one’s own country. Each analysis suggests new and different ways of solving problems and providing services. Social work professionals worldwide will learn successful methods of enabling the elderly to maintain maximum self-sufficiency and participate actively in society, thus insuring improved quality of life.

Geropsychology and Long Term Care
by Erlene Rosowsky Merla Arnold Joseph M. CascianiThe ever-increasing population of older adults residing in nursing homes and long-term care communities, as reflected in numerous demographic studies, point out a clear need for geropsychologists i.e., trained specialists in the field of aging and mental health, to meet the needs of this nation's older adults. This book will provide a needed resource for psychologists working in long-term care settings and those who wish to do so. Key outcomes include the provision of high quality psychological services for this important but neglected sector namely, people living in nursing homes, assisted living communities and other LTC settings. This text will be of great value to psychologists currently working in long-term care settings who have had graduate work in geropsychology, yet desire more in-depth and practical training. A second audience includes those individuals who may have a leaning towards expanding their professional activities in long-term care and are seeking additional preparation before doing more work with older adults. A third group is comprised of those individuals who are not psychologists, yet have had some training and coursework in aging and mental health.
Geschlechterdemokratie für die Arabische Welt: Die EU-Förderpolitik zwischen Staatsfeminismus und Islamismus (essentials)
by Annette JünemannEine Machtübernahme islamistischer Parteien in arabischen Staaten befürchten vor allem säkular orientierte Frauen, von denen sich viele als Verliererinnen der ,,Arabellions" empfinden. Annette Jünemann geht der Frage nach, welchen Beitrag die Europäische Union zur Förderung von Geschlechterdemokratie in den arabischen Transformationsländern leisten kann. Bislang hat die EU im Rahmen ihrer externen Demokratieförderung im südlichen Mittelmeerraum die Agenda säkularer Frauenrechtsgruppen unterstützt. Dies geschah im stillen Einvernehmen mit den autoritären arabischen Regimen, die in einem säkularen Staatsfeminismus ein probates Mittel im Kampf gegen den politischen Islam sahen. Seit dem Arabischen Frühling ist die bisherige Förderpraxis der EU diskreditiert und verlangt eine Anpassung an die neuen politischen Realitäten.

Gesellschaft und Psychodynamik: Eine systematische Skizze
by Johann August SchüleinIn diesem Text geht es um die Frage, wie Theorien der Psychodynamik zum Verständnis gesellschaftlicher Prozesse beitragen und was die dazu erforderliche Kooperation können muss. Die Frage, ob sie einen Beitrag leisten können, stellt sich nicht in einer Welt, in der bei aller instrumentellen Rationalität Ängste, Hoffnungen, Hass und Wut, Sehnsüchte und Fantasien sich ins soziale Geschehen einmischen und es mehr oder weniger massiv bestimmen. Psychodynamik ist dabei kein „Störfaktor“, sondern ein konstitutiver, motivierender und treibender, ein notwendiger, aber kein pflegeleichter oder gar beliebig kontrollierbarer Faktor jeder sozialen Realität. Um das komplexe Zusammenspiel sozialer und psychischer Realität zu erfassen, bedarf es einer entsprechenden Konzeption, die hier vorgestellt und illustriert wird.
Gesellschaftliche Selbstermächtigung in Deutschland: Fridays for Future und Corona-Skepsis im Vergleich
by Reimut Zohlnhöfer Peter Kirsch Hanno KubeZuletzt haben verschiedene Gruppen durch demonstratives Übertreten von Gesetzen Aufmerksamkeit auf ihre politischen Anliegen gelenkt, sei es die Verletzung der Schulpflicht bei Fridays for Future-Demonstrationen oder die Weigerung, sich an die Maßnahmen zur Pandemie-Eindämmung zu halten, bei Kritikern der Corona-Politik. In diesem Buch wird untersucht, was hinter diesen Regelbrüchen steckt: Unterstützer der Fridays for Future-Bewegung sind zwar unzufrieden mit der Klimapolitik, aber gut ins politische System integriert; Menschen, die sich nicht an die Corona-Regeln halten mögen, weisen dagegen zum Teil eine erhebliche Entfremdung vom und Misstrauen gegenüber dem politischen System auf.
