Download or read book Treating Child and Adolescent Aggression Through Bibliotherapy written by Zipora Shechtman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-16 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antisocial acts by children and teens are on the rise – from verbal abuse to physical bullying to cyber-threats to weapons in schools. Strictly punitive responses to aggressive behaviour may even escalate a situation, leaving peers, parents, and teachers feeling helpless. This unique volume conceptualizes aggression as a symptom of underlying behavioural and emotional problems and examines the psychology of perpetrators and the power dynamics that foster intentionally hurtful behaviour in young people. It details for readers how bibliotherapy offers relevant, innovative, and flexible treatment – as a standalone intervention or as a preventive method in conjunction with other forms of treatment – and can be implemented with individuals and groups, parents, teachers, and even rivals. This unique, must-have resource is essential reading for school psychologists, school counselors, social workers, and clinical child psychologists and any allied educational and mental health professionals who work with troubled youth.

Download or read book The New Diary written by Tristine Rainer and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1979-07-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Diary is about a completely modern concept of journal writing. It has little to do with the rigid daily calendar diary you may have kept as a child or the factual travelogue you wrote to recall the Grand Canyon. Instead, it is a tool for tapping the full power of your inner resources. The New Diary is as much for those who already keep a journal as it is for those who have never kept one. It does not tell you the "right" way to keep a diary; rather, it offers numerous possibilities for using the diary to achieve your own purposes. It is a place for you to clarify goals, visualize the future, and focus your engergies; a means of freeing your intuition and imagination; a workbook for exploring your dreams, your past, and your present life. It is for everyone seeking concrete methods for dealing with personal problems. It is for women and men interested in achieving self-reliance and inner liberation, for artists and writers seeking new techniques for overcoming blocks to creativity.

Download or read book Transformative Words written by Juhani Ihanus and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2019 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the transformative functions of words, literature, writing, and biblio/poetry therapy, approaching the subject through narrative and cultural psychology, storytelling, and shareable meaning making. The dialogic mind is described as trembling in a textual web of memories, metaphors, fantasies, transferences and poetic language, and even revising the different versions of the unconscious. The backgrounds, aims, methods, and processes of biblio/poetry therapy are elaborated by presenting how storying the self and the writing of otherness and identities enhance personal development, attune emotionally, autobiographically, and socially meaningful experiences, bridging knowledge and emotion and supporting growth and transformation.Juhani Ihanus, PhD, is Adjunct Professor of Cultural Psychology (University of Helsinki), and Art Education and Art Psychology (Aalto University). He is a pioneer of European biblio/poetry therapy, and a prolific author for over 450 publications in the fields of psychology, culture, literature, and visual arts.
