The concepts of non-violent resistance and the New Authority have long since found their way into many psychosocial fields of work. In families with multiple burdens - parents with traumatic experiences such as early child abuse or domestic violence and children who themselves have had traumatic experiences - professionals face particularly complex challenges: How can they help people to (re)discover their inner and interpersonal resources? How can family of origin, foster family or home group become systems in which healing is possible? In this integrative, well-founded practical guide, Peter Jakob explains for the first time how parent coaching can be used as a trauma-oriented intervention - be it in counseling work, in family therapy or in inpatient child and youth welfare. Numerous methodological suggestions for everyday practice and illustrative case studies complete the volume, which expands existing treatment concepts for people who have experienced trauma.
