        Nutritional Practice Infants, Children, Adolescents

        Concise advisory knowledge

        by Dr. Ute Alexy, Dr. Annett Hilbig and Frauke Lang. Edited by Prof. Dr. Martin Smollich

        Anyone giving responsible advice about questions on nutrition must have sound expert knowledge. This must not only be scientifically reliable, but must at the same time be relevant and practicable in the individual context. The concept behind the book series Nutritional Practice is to provide the necessary translation of current research results and guidelines into recommendations suitable for everyday use. In accordance with this consistent, practical approach, the focus is on the individual person in his or her particular stage in their life. The present volume is based on the various stages in life between infancy and adolescence. It therefore covers all questions about nutrition in health and disease from the first day of life to young adulthood

        Interpreting rock movies

        Pop Film and Its Critics in Britain

        by Andrew Caine

        Andrew Caine details the reaction to British and American pop films during the 1950s and 1960s. By examining the British reception of films such as Rock Around the Clock, Love Me Tender, A Hard Day's Night and Summer Holiday the book provides a valuable insight into British film criticism, teenage culture during the 1950s and 1960s and the generic status of rock films/teen movies and cultural hierarchies. Interpreting rock movies not only contains an extensive account of how the film and music press reacted to rock 'n roll films, but also fully explores issues about taste and distinction within reviewing practices. The movie output of Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and numerous others is located within the context of popular music during the 1950s and 1960s.

        by Bernd Gomeringer,Jessica Sänger, UlrikeSünkel, Gottfried M.Barth, Max Leutner

        Mental health problems in children and adolescents are a taboo subject. “As ever, there are social misgivings”, says child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Robin Funke. “Many families find it tough when they first come to us. They feel this is a failure.” But what is it like living with depression, compulsive behaviour, anxiety and panic attacks, or with eating disorders, bulimia or anorexia? Schirm e. V., the friends association for child and adolescent psychiatry in Tübingen (Germany), asked young patients to share their stories. A moving book was created about living with mental health problems, about the dayto- day routine in psychiatric practice and the power of confidence.

        Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety in Children and Adolescents

        A Treatment Manual for Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Specific Phobias, and Separation Anxiety

        by Sigrun Schmidt-Traub

        This title provides a semi-structured guide for an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral treatment of children and adolescents between the ages of 9 and 17 who suffer from panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobias, or separation anxiety.   It describes each step of the therapy in details, pays special attention to fear management, and enables the children to largely cope with the fears by themselves. The treatment modules can be used in the context of short-term therapy in individual or mixed individual and group setting. The manual allows for the therapy to be adjusted to the individual needs of the child or adolescent and some parts can be used also when working with younger children. Parents are trained to be co-therapists, supporting their children during the confrontational exercises but also insuring that parents do no unknowingly enable their child to maintain the anxiety disorder. All necessary worksheets can be found on the accompanying CD-ROM.   Target Group: child and adolescent psychotherapists and psychiatrists, students and teachers of psychology, pediatricians, psychotherapists, specialists for psychosomatic medicine, school psychologists

        Der Autor meines Lebens | Eine Wiederbegegnung mit Uwe Johnson, dem »Erzähler der beiden Deutschland«

        by Charly Hübner, Uwe Johnson

        Die Mauer ist gerade erst gefallen. Im mecklenburgischen Neustrelitz verlässt der 19-jährige Charly Hübner sein Elternhaus im Streit. Er findet Zuflucht am Theater und in der Literatur, liest wie besessen und landet nahezu unumgänglich bei den Jahrestagen von Uwe Johnson. Er taucht darin ein – und sehr lange nicht wieder auf. 40 Jahre nach Johnsons Tod und 90 nach dessen Geburt hat Charly Hübner Johnsons Großwerk als Hörbuch eingelesen. Wieder ist er vollkommen darin eingetaucht und war erstaunt, wie aktuell es nach wie vor ist – literarisch und politisch. Eher durch Zufall landete die wuchtige Buchclubausgabe der Jahrestage in Charly Hübners neuem Zuhause. Ein dicker Wälzer, der trotz der manchmal sperrigen Sprache und verwinkelten Erzählweise einen so noch nie erlebten Sog auf den damaligen Teenager ausübte. Da erzählte jemand aus dem fernen Sehnsuchtsort New York und verband das wie selbstverständlich mit einer Familiensaga in Mecklenburg – Weltliteratur aus der Heimat quasi.Aus dem Teenager von damals ist einer der beliebtesten Schauspieler des mehr oder weniger vereinten Deutschland geworden – während Johnson mehr und mehr in Vergessenheit geraten ist. Zu Unrecht, findet Charly Hübner, denn die Lektüre dieses Autors, eines genauen Beobachters seiner Zeit, der wie kein anderer die Sprache und Denkweise der Menschen um ihn herum zu Papier gebracht hat, ist heute noch aktueller denn je.
