Как обрести уверенность в себе

Sie haben die Schule geschw?nzt, sind ohne F?hrerschein gefahren, haben geklaut, sich gepr?gelt oder etwas kaputt gemacht. Daf?r sitzen sie nun f?r ein bis vier Wochen hinter Gittern. Die Zeit im Jugendarrest soll kurz und hart sein. Und sie soll abschrecken, einen Schock ausl?sen – und so verhindern, dass die Jugendlichen wieder straff?llig werden. Wieso sind ausgerechnet diese Jugendlichen im Gef?ngnis gelandet? Wie geht es ihnen dort? Wie wirkt sich der Arrestaufenthalt auf ihre Psyche aus? Und was bedeutet das f?r ihr zuk?nftiges Legalverhalten? Diese Fragen stellt Christoph M?ller in den Mittelpunkt seiner Studie und beantwortet sie im empirischen Teil mithilfe narrativ-verstehender Interviews mit Jugendarrestanten, die tiefenhermeneutisch ausgewertet wurden. Diese zeigen eindr?cklich, wie sehr die Betroffenen unter dem Jugendarrestaufenthalt leiden. Ihre Zeit in der Haft wird durch die Kriterien der totalen Institution gepr?gt, der sie sich versuchen anzupassen, damit der Aufenthalt aushaltbar bleibt. Auch wenn sie sich aufgrund der leidvollen Erfahrung durchaus vornehmen, nicht mehr straff?llig zu werden, sp?ren sie ihre Perspektivlosigkeit. Die besch?mende Erfahrung in den Jugendarrestanstalten l?sst sie potentiell depressiv und aggressiv werden. Dabei verst?rkt sich unter dem Druck der entwicklungspsychologischen Phase der Adoleszenz ein Selbstbild als Gescheiterter und Verlierer oder als 'harter' Verbrecher. Obwohl am Jugendarrest seit Jahren wissenschaftlich fundierte Kritik ge?u?ert wird, wurde dieser im September 2012 mit der Einf?hrung des sogenannten Warnschussarrests weiter aufgewertet und ausgeweitet. Mit diesem Buch liegt nun erstmals eine fundierte Studie ?ber die Folgewirkungen dieses kurzzeitigen Einsperrens von Jugendlichen und Heranwachsenden vor.

Substance abuse disorders are among the most prevalent psychiatric disorders and are frequently comorbid with other psychiatric and health conditions and accompanied by social problems; however, they remain under-recognized and under-treated. Many physicians and mental health practitioners receive little-to-no training in the identification and treatment of these disorders. Approaches to their prevention include some of the major success stories in modern public health as well as some of the deepest controversies in public life.
