Jesper Juul Libros

This book captures the essence of modern family life. Much has changed since our own childhoods; "the good old days". Today's parents are challenged by the need to invent their own parenting style. This can only happen from within, based on our personal values and boundaries. Jesper Juul puts it very clearly: "The love we feel for our children and our partners does not in itself have any value. It has no value at all until it is converted into loving behavior." Each chapter focuses on the values that form a solid platform on which to build a family: Equal dignity, Integrity, Authenticity and Responsibility. This makes family life more meaningful and parents avoid living frantically from conflict to conflict, desperately searching for quick solutions and trying to adapt to the most popular parenting technique of the day. A book full of everyday examples and practical ideas.

"In this excellent, short and instructive book -- maybe one of Jesper Juul's best -- he explains how to handle yourself as an adult in conflict with children. The many ideas, concepts and practical suggestions apply whether you are a parent or a professional working in the educational system. The title summarizes the essence of true dialogue and through plenty of everyday examples this book provides adults with alternatives to shouting, criticizing and blaming -- while respecting the personal integrity of everyone involved. Jesper Juul shows how to use personal language and thereby develop relationships built on equal dignity. Ultimately, this book helps adults become more authentic so children can be treated as real people."--Amazon.com

We used to think that video games were mostly for young men, but with the success of the Nintendo Wii, and the proliferation of games in browsers, cell phone games, and social games video games changed changed fundamentally in the years from 2000 to 2010. These new casual games are now played by men and women, young and old. Players need not possess an intimate knowledge of video game history or devote weeks or months to play. At the same time, many players of casual games show a dedication and skill that is anything but casual. In A Casual Revolution, Jesper Juul describes this as a reinvention of video games, and of our image of video game players, and explores what this tells us about the players, the games, and their interaction.

An exploration of why we play video games despite the fact that we are almost certain to feel unhappy when we fail at them.

Der Autor, einer der bekanntesten Familientherapeuten Skandinaviens, und seine Mitautorin erläutern die Notwendigkeit eines neuen Verständnisses von Erziehung in Kindergarten, Schule und Elternhaus. Angesichts der Pisa-Ergebnisse wird gefragt, was die Skandinavier besser machen. Destruktives Verhalten und Konflikte stellen für viele Lehrer und Eltern eine Herausforderung dar. Ungehorsam und Disziplinlosigkeit sind oft das Ergebnis eines tiefgreifenden Beziehungskonflikts zwischen Erwachsenen und Kindern. Kinder möchten lernen und kooperieren, wenn sie in einem respektvollen Umgang Verantwortung übertragen bekommen und ihre Integrität anerkannt wird. Die Autoren ziehen aus jahrzehntelanger Erfahrung Schlüsse zur Entwicklung von Beziehungskompetenz für Lehrer, Erzieher und Eltern. Zahlreiche Fallbeispiele zeigen, dass die alte Gehorsamskultur überholt ist und wie Alternativen, wie ein empathischer und regelfester Erziehungsstil, aussehen können. Das Buch gliedert sich in vier Teile: Der erste Teil behandelt die veränderten Erwachsenen-Kind-Beziehungen und die Rolle der Familie. Der zweite Abschnitt fokussiert persönliche Aspekte, die für die Entwicklung professioneller Beziehungskompetenz wichtig sind. Der dritte Teil beschreibt interpersonale Beziehungen und Aspekte der beruflichen Entwicklung und bietet eine Definition von Beziehungskompetenz.
