## Description

This book addresses the pedagogical handling of trauma in child and youth welfare services (*Erziehungshilfen*). It examines various forms of childhood trauma — neglect, emotional and physical abuse, domestic violence, sexual trauma, traumatic separation, and the experiences of children of mentally ill parents, children with disabilities, and refugee children — and presents trauma-informed pedagogical approaches for working with affected children and adolescents. The 10th edition expands on the "Pädagogik der Selbstbemächtigung" (pedagogy of self-empowerment) with new perspectives on understanding, acknowledging pain, spirituality, and meaning-making — termed "Traumapädagogik reloaded."

## Document Role

This book serves as a core reference text for a KPG/EPG case study in social work. It provides the theoretical foundation for trauma pedagogy (*Traumapädagogik*) and is directly relevant to understanding and supporting traumatised children and adolescents in residential care settings. The book's frameworks — particularly around self-empowerment, trauma-informed binding pedagogy, and professional self-care — inform the analytical and reflective components of the case study.

## Clean up

This book is a reference document. It can be removed from the collection after the EPG case study project is completed.
