2. Beltz Kurswechsel im Kopf
The perfect life does not exist, but it can still be fulfilling despite various challenges. Stressful periods, chronic pain, illnesses, and relationship problems are unwelcome aspects of life for many people, who tirelessly and often fruitlessly strive for their disappearance. Steven C. Hayes has dedicated over 30 years of his research life to the question of how we can escape the tyranny of self-optimization. How we can learn to accept the unwelcome elements of our lives and use the power released by this acceptance for other purposes. The impetus for his psychology of acceptance and flexibility came from his own panic attacks, which he could not combat through conventional means. "A Change of Mind" tells the story of the passion of an extraordinary researcher and provides strategies from ACT to help accept life in all its facets and realign it.
3. Beltz Übersehene Geschwister
They often play a secondary role: siblings of mentally ill individuals frequently find themselves alone with their needs and achievements, their worries and fears. For some, this lasts a lifetime. They are the natural doers, the sunshine children, mediators between parents and siblings. The relationship with their ill sibling is complex—sometimes they have a strong protective instinct, other times they harbor resentment. Some have become stronger due to the responsibility, while others feel robbed of their childhood years. Jana Hauschild gives a voice to these adult siblings. With great empathy, the psychologist describes the backgrounds, explores the feelings of those who are overlooked, and accompanies them on their journey to self-discovery.
4. Beltz Die Akte Verschickungskinder
An estimated eight million children were sent to so-called children's recovery homes on the advice of doctors between the 1950s and 1980s, returning disturbed or traumatized. What many of these children experienced there continues to affect them to this day: homesickness, loneliness, coercion, and violence. Their fate has long been a taboo subject. It is time to open the door to the past wide: How was this possible, and who was responsible?
Historian and journalist Hilke Lorenz has spoken with many former children sent away. She shares their stories and follows their leads. Some memories are fragmented, often more of a feeling or a suspicion than certainty. Many adults are speaking about their experiences for the first time and are just beginning to understand the impact that the weeks and months spent in these children's clinics had on their later lives. What Hilke Lorenz discovers in the archives is shocking. It is not only about the Nazi educational methods that continued due to the personnel's continuity. Her research also uncovers the profitable business that was made from sending children away, involving doctors, home operators, health insurance companies, and associations.
5. Beltz DDR-Erbe in der Seele
The future needs a past: A critical engagement with history, with what was good and what was not. Yet, even thirty years after German reunification, there is silence about the psychological consequences that the GDR's authoritarian upbringing, retreat into privacy, life in illusionary worlds, surveillance, flight, and loss of homeland have had on millions of Germans to this day. But the soul knows no finality!
Therapist Udo Baer, who grew up in the GDR himself, embarks on a quest to uncover this GDR legacy in the soul through numerous conversations. He discovers not only a natural self-confidence, especially among women, but also tabooed fears, prohibitions on grief, and traumas in many people. These experiences must finally be acknowledged. Only when families and our society speak about the inner scars will their transmission to the next generation be prevented. Only then can all Germans move into a shared future.
6. Beltz Die kompetente Familie
Responsibility and equality, the implementation of personal values in family life. "The Competent Family" offers the essence of Jesper Juul's many years of experience. The renowned family therapist provides guidance and concrete support – a solid foundation for anyone looking to find their own role as parents and partners. "Children who are supposedly testing their boundaries are actually searching for their parents' true personalities. They want to know who their parents really are and what they stand for." Jesper Juul.
7. Beltz Mehr sein, weniger brauchen
We all know that we need to live more sustainably: reduce waste, shop locally, and eat consciously. However, it is often difficult for us to apply this knowledge in our daily lives, as we frequently feel powerless and helpless in the face of the global climate crisis. Even when we forgo the car, travel in an eco-friendly way, and shop without plastic, our individual contributions seem microscopically small. The good news is that our everyday actions are by no means insignificant. Our behavior resonates in our relationships and can initiate larger, profound processes of change. A more sustainable lifestyle can only emerge when we become aware of the web of relationships we are part of. And that is much larger than we think. This book encourages us to view the topic of sustainability from a new perspective. It reminds us that a sustainable lifestyle is deeply rooted in human nature and not only strengthens our relationship with the planet Earth and our fellow human beings but also with ourselves.
