View Rights PortalA fear of one’s own emotions can lead people to develop what has been termed emotion- or affect phobia. To deal with this specific kind of phobia, Affect Phobia Therapy (APT) has proven to be useful. In APT, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and experimental techniques are combined to help the patient to learn to accept and manage emotions again. Research shows that especially people suffering from anxiety or depression and people with avoidant or dependent personality disorders benefit from this method. This book offers a practical explanation of this evidence-based therapeutic method. The eight chapters focus on all different aspects of APT and the underlying theoretical concepts are illustrated with example patient-therapist dialogues. Target Group: psychologists, psychotherapists, students
Four out of your five children have autism, and your husband too! This is what happened to Joyce van Maaren. Over the years four of her children and her husband are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. In A Family With Autism she talks openly about how her life gets turned upside down over and over again, and how the family had to regain their balance. In this inspiring and lovable book, Joyce van Maaren takes the reader on a journey – one with many ups and downs. Readers can find support in her story and discover what autism means for daily life. But most of all, they will be inspired to make the most of every day, even if they or their family has to deal with autism (or other psychological disorders). Target Group: people with autism and their relatives, families of which some members have autism.

In Die sieben Jahreszeiten – denn für Gärtner*innen gibt es mehr als vier – schreibt sie über das Glück und die Herausforderungen des Gärtnerns, über Fragen der Gestaltung ebenso wie die des richtigen Standorts, gibt wertvolle Hinweise zu Pflanzung und Pflege und stellt die wichtigsten Pflanzen vor, von Schattenstauden über Kletterrosen, Dahlien und Zwiebelblumen. Und sie erinnert uns daran, was das Wichtigste am Gärtnern ist: Ein Garten tut der Seele gut. Die sachkundige und passionierte Pflanzengestalterin Isabelle Van Groeningen führt uns durchs Jahr und durch ihre Gärten – ein Rundgang mit vielen Tipps und Lieblingspflanzen!
