"The transition from high school to adulthood is one of the most challenging times for young people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). What will happen when all their familiar teachers, educational assistants, coaches, and friends disappear after graduation? Who will replace them in the adult world? How will they manage this drastic change? If you are the parent of a youth with ASD and these questions are looming in your mind, this book is focussed on answering all these questions and more. Drawing on her experiences as a mother of a child with ASD and a child psychiatrist, Katharina Manassis shares common transition-related challenges and provides practical solutions for each. It helps parents plan for every stage of the journey. This includes what a successful transition can mean and how to set realistic goals, exploring specific aspects of the transition such as employment, independence and social life, and how to address long-term concerns such as living arrangements and financial support"--

Dette er en vitenskapelig monografi basert på avhandlingen "Om å holde noe av et barns liv i sin hånd. Samtaler mellom profesjonelle og barn som har psykisk syke eller rusavhengige foreldre: et etisk og narrativt perspektiv". Tema er barns deltakelse i samtalegrupper for barn som har psykisk syke eller rusavhengige foreldre. Boken bygger på erfaringer fra deltakende observasjon i sju forskjellige samtalegrupper samt oppfølgende samtaler med barna som deltok og de profesjonelle som ledet gruppene. Formålet har vært å undersøke hvilke muligheter barn i samtalegrupper får til å stå fram som selvstendige meningssøkende og meningsskapende subjekter. Problemstilling er: Hvordan blir barns erfaringer håndtert i samtalegrupper for barn som har psykisk syke eller rusavhengige foreldre? Boken er gitt en vitenskapsfilosofisk forankring i en avdekkende hermeneutikk. Dette har lagt føringer for å vektlegge betydningen av det likeverdige og gjensidige i samhandlingene mellom de deltakende barna og de profesjonelle som har ledet samtalegruppene. I den forbindelse er det sentralt å utforske hvordan de profesjonelle, i konkrete samhandlingssituasjoner, skaper rom for det enkelte barns perspektiv ved å sette sine egne perspektiver i spill, og hvordan de ikke gjør det. Den avdekkende hermeneutikken har også gjort det mulig å identifisere noe av det som ikke ble satt ord på, eller som bare så vidt ble antydet eller nevnt, i samhandlingene mellom de profesjonelle og barna, men som likevel kan ha hatt stor betydning for den meningen som ble dannet. Erfaringene og observasjonene fra samtalegruppene er formidlet gjennom ni fortellinger. Disse beskriver konkrete samtaler og aktiviteter der barn formidler egne erfaringer, tanker og følelser, uten at disse blir gjort til videre tema i samhandlingen. Gjennom fortolkning av disse fortellingene kommer det fram en forståelse av at samtalegrupper for barn med psykisk syke eller rusavhengige foreldre synes å være en praksis der barns egne erfaringer av foreldrenes psykiske sykdommer og rusavhengighet i begrenset grad blir gjort til tema. Gjennom en teoretisk diskusjon der det som har foregått i de partikulære samhandlingssituasjonene, blir løftet opp på et mer generelt meningsbærende nivå, er det søkt en dypere forståelse for dette fenomenet.

Cet ouvrage se base sur l'approche configurationnelle pour étudier les familles dans la vieillesse. Cette approche conçoit les familles comme des configurations, à savoir des réseaux formés de membres significatifs de la famille qui, par les ressources qu'ils s'échangent, sont dépendants les uns des autres. Les analyses révèlent une diversité de configurations familiales. Celles-ci se distinguent dans leur composition et dans le type de capital social qu'elles génèrent ainsi que dans leur gestion de l'ambivalence familiale. En somme, la diversité et la complexité caractérisent les liens familiaux dans la vieillesse. Ce constat nuance l'image homogène et positive de la famille longtemps défendue dans les modèles dominants de la gérontologie sociale.

"Offers parents of deaf children the support and unbiased information needed to fully realize their children's potential. The completely revised third edition is a must-have resource for parents of deaf children"-- "For over 30 years, The Silent Garden has offered parents of deaf children the support and unbiased information needed to fully realize their children's potential. This completely revised third edition is a must-have resource that will help parents navigate the complex and unique challenges they face. Accessible, practical, and, above all, open-minded, The Silent Garden educates parents quickly and thoroughly about the many conflicting points of view on what is best for their deaf children. Authors Paul W. Ogden and David H. Smith, who are both deaf, present examples and research that guide parents through often unfamiliar territory. From coping mechanisms for parents to advice on creating healthy home environments, the authors cover a range of topics that impact day-to-day actions and decision-making. The topic of communication is discussed extensively as communication access and language development are crucial not only for intellectual growth, but also for positive family and social relationships. The authors look at American Sign Language, English, and various other modes of communication available to deaf children. Different educational options are presented, and technology--including the debate about cochlear implants--is reviewed. Deaf children with special needs are considered here as well. Each topic is accompanied by real-life stories that offer further insight. Always encouraging, The Silent Garden empowers parents to be the best advocates for their deaf children. Throughout, the authors emphasize that each choice is highly personal, and they stress that all deaf children have the potential to lead rich, productive, and exciting lives"--
