This book examines the relationship between education and excessive confidence in situations of uncertainty. For this purpose, a questionnaire with 10 pseudo general knowledge questions was designed whereby their degree of difficulty exceeds the knowledge of an average student by far. It was investigated whether subjects (N = 535) would acknowledge this condition and its associated nescience. If that is the case, they will answer the 10 questions within an extremely wide confidence interval in order to meet the predefined 90% accuracy requirement. The focus of investigation was in Southern Ger

For some, life's introduction to death and grief comes early, and when it does it can take many forms. Not only does Dealing with Dying, Death, and Grief during Adolescence tackle them all, it does so with David Balk's remarkable sensitivity to and deep knowledge of the pressures and opportunities adolescents face in their transition from childhood to adulthood. In seamless, jargon-free language, Balk brings readers up to date with what we know about adolescent development, because over time such changes form the backstory we need to comprehend the impact of death and bereavement in

"Adolescents are more likely than any other age groups to engage in behaviors that contribute to injuries, violence, unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and reckless alcohol, tobacco, and drug use. At-risk adolescents may also exhibit signs of moodiness, aggression, and even self-injury, and these behaviors often cause parents, teachers, and clinicians to become extremely frustrated. Adolescents themselves may even believe that change is impossible. Drawing on proven-effective dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy for At-Risk Adolescents is the first reader-friendly and easily accessible DBT book specifically targeted to mental health professionals treating adolescents who may be dangerous to themselves or others. If you work with adolescents who exhibit at-risk behavior, you know how important it is to take immediate action. However, you may also have trouble "breaking through" the barrier that these young people can build around themselves. This book can help. The DBT skills outlined in this book are evidence-based, and have been clinically proven to help build emotion regulation skills, which are useful for all age groups, though perhaps especially for the millions of at-risk adolescents experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, and the myriad behaviors that can result from these emotions. This book also includes practical handouts and exercises that can be used in individual therapy sessions, skills training groups, school settings, and when working with parents and caregivers. Adolescents stand at the precipice of the future, and the decisions they make now can have life-long impacts. By showing them how to manage their emotions and deal with the stresses that are common in day-to-day life, you are arming them with the tools they will need to succeed and thrive"--

Many children and adolescents struggle with mild symptoms of depression and/or anxiety at some point. When these symptoms begin to interfere with daily functioning and quality of life, children may need professional assistance to improve their well-being. Psychosocial interventions aimed at depression or anxiety are non-medicinal interventions, and can target children from risk groups (preventive interventions), children with elevated symptoms of, or diagnoses of depression or anxiety (treatment interventions). The Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Service has identified, evaluated and summarized research on the effect of psychosocial interventions. We included nine systematic reviews. The available evidence shows: Preventive interventions: We are uncertain of the effect of preventive interventions. Treatment interventions:1. CBT for children with anxiety disorders seems to result in fewer symptoms of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress. The evidence is of low quality.2. CBT possibly reduces the severity of symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder. The evidence is of low quality.3. CBT combined with medication compared to medication alone has possibly little or no effect on functioning, depressive symptoms or suicidal thoughts among children with depression. Children with obsessive compulsive disorder possibly improve after treatment with CBT. The evidence is of low quality.4. Children who receive psychological/educational treatment possibly show fewer symptoms of depression after three to nine months after treatment when compared to no treatment. The interventions have possible no effect when compared with placebo. The evidence is of low quality. It is difficult to conclude on the effects of any of the included interventions given that the results are mostly based on evidence of very low to low quality.
