Author: Wilma Weiß Publisher: Beltz Juventa (Verlagsgruppe Beltz, Weinheim Basel), 10., korrigierte Auflage, 2024 ISBN: 978-3-7799-7731-5 Pages: 354

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.
