Abstract

Im Fokus dieses Sammelbandes stehen die Auseinandersetzungen mit der Sorgekrise in ihren Verflechtungen mit der sozialen und ökologischen Krise sowie Ansätze zu ihrer Bewältigung. Den Ausgangspunkt bilden dabei die Möglichkeiten, Caring Societies zu gestalten und zu etablieren. Sie werden getragen durch eine wechselseitige Sorge(verantwortung) in einem aufeinander bezogenen Zusammenspiel verschiedenster Ebenen und Akteur*innen. Konzeptionell werden diese Möglichkeiten, eine zukunftsfähige und gerechte Versorgung zu entwickeln, vor allem aus drei Perspektiven betrachtet: Caring Policies, Caring Economy und Caring Commons. Der vierte Teil enthält ein Sorge-Glossar mit Erklärungen der für sorgende Gesellschaften zentralen Begriffe.

Abstract

"Universities around the world are under increasing pressure to maintain high levels of graduation and to make study processes as efficient as possible, with teachers and students struggling to meet the expectations placed upon them as a result. The Psychology of Study Success in Universities asks whether it is possible to meet these demands at the same time as protecting the well-being of students. Drawing on an extensive and detailed analysis of study success in universities in Finland, the authors of this thought-provoking work argue that universities should be more concerned with students' satisfaction and place greater weight on students' perceptions of the elements that enhance or hinder their success.The book provides a multi-dimensional picture of the student-related and teaching-related factors that promote study success. Giving voice to graduate students, including those enrolled on a PhD, the authors look at the resources that students have at their disposal in order to establish what inspires and motivates the students, what slows them down, and what kinds of experiences students have of successful studies. Määttä and Uusiautti present a wealth of high-quality research showing that good teaching and successful study processes can be secured by immediate and caring interaction, flexible and student-centred teaching and supervision, and interdisciplinary collaboration between teachers. The Psychology of Study Success in Universities is essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of education and psychology, as well as for those interested in positive psychology, student well-being and pedagogical studies."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Les perspectives féministes connaissent depuis une trentaine d'années un développement considérable dans le champ académique anglo-saxon. Si les analyses en termes de genre sont désormais connues du public français, l'idée de care - mot habituellement traduit par soin, attention, sollicitude - n'a pas trouvé un accueil aussi évident, sans doute en raison de sa dimension provocatrice. En réintégrant dans le champ des activités sociales significatives des pans entiers de l'activité humaine négligés par la théorie sociale et morale, ces approches ébranlent la partition entre des registres habituellement disjoints. Les questions triviales posées par le care - qui s'occupe de quoi, comment ? - font appel à une anthropologie différente comprenant dans un même mouvement la vulnérabilité, la sensibilité, la dépendance. Elles mettent en cause l'universalité de la conception libérale de la justice, installée en position dominante dans le champ de la réflexion politique et morale, et transforment la nature même du questionnement moral. L'irruption récente du Care dans le débat public rendait nécessaire une réédition de l'ouvrage de 2006, qui présentait les principaux textes de référence sur la question. Il y manquait cependant une contribution de la principale théoricienne du care, Carol Gilligan, dont l'œuvre fondamentale, In a Different Voice (1982), était à l'arrière-plan de toutes les réflexions de l'ouvrage. Cette lacune est comblée dans la nouvelle édition.

Abstract

Empathy, a basic ability for understanding persons holistically, building supportive relationships, and listening attentively, includes being with suffering persons, healing, and inducing catharsis in them. Therefore, it is necessary within occupations supporting humans: education, clinical psychology, nursing, early childhood care, welfare, and medicine. Conversely, there are individual differences in empathy, and promoting its development is difficult. In this book, we use interdisciplinary approaches to empathy; for example, we discuss a new intervention, physical and cross-cultural understanding of empathy, development of empathy, and applications in general and professional education. The significance of this book is its evidence-based interdisciplinary perspective in understanding empathy.

Abstract

The authors have developed the ethical imagination inviting a sense of “otherness” towards the vulnerable self, rebounding care for the other as a way to understand our everyday neurotic (normal) tendency of small vices as the propensity and possibility for responsibility towards the other. The authors, inviting the reader into troublesome feelings such as laziness and anger, bring a Levinasian horizon into focus, so that even in the midst of laziness, there remains the small goodness to set the self free to care for the other, meeting the demands, challenges, hesitation, shuddering, tension and shocks of such alterity, of living “otherwise”.

Abstract

Since the beginning of the World Health Organization, many of its staff members, regional offices, Member States, and directors-general have grappled with the question of what a 'spiritual dimension' of health looks like, and how it might enrich the health policies advocated by their organization. Contrary to the widespread perception that 'spirituality' is primarily related to palliative care and has emerged relatively recently within the WHO, this book shows that its history is considerably longer and more complex, and has been closely connected to the organization's ethical aspirations, its quest for more holistic and equitable healthcare, and its struggle with the colonial legacy of international health organizations. Such ideals and struggles silently motivated many of its key actors and policies-such as the provision of universal primary healthcare-which for decades have embodied the organization's loftiest aspirations. The WHO's official relationship with 'spirituality' advanced in fits, leaps, and setbacks. At times creative and interdisciplinary, at others deeply political, this process was marked by cycles of institutional forgetting and remembering. Rather than a triumph of religious lobbyists, this book argues, the 'spiritual dimension' of health may be better understood as a 'ghost' that has haunted-and continues to haunt-the WHO as it comes to terms with its mandate of advancing health as a state of 'complete well-being' available to all.

Abstract

Drawing on interdisciplinary, cross-national perspectives, this open access book contributes to the development of a coherent scientific discourse on social exclusion of older people. The book considers five domains of exclusion (services; economic; social relations; civic and socio-cultural; and community and spatial domains), with three chapters dedicated to analysing different dimensions of each exclusion domain. The book also examines the interrelationships between different forms of exclusion, and how outcomes and processes of different kinds of exclusion can be related to one another. In doing so, major cross-cutting themes, such as rights and identity, inclusive service infrastructures, and displacement of marginalised older adult groups, are considered. Finally, in a series of chapters written by international policy stakeholders and policy researchers, the book analyses key policies relevant to social exclusion and older people, including debates linked to sustainable development, EU policy and social rights, welfare and pensions systems, and planning and development. The book’s approach helps to illuminate the comprehensive multidimensionality of social exclusion, and provides insight into the relative nature of disadvantage in later life. With 77 contributors working across 28 nations, the book presents a forward-looking research agenda for social exclusion amongst older people, and will be an important resource for students, researchers and policy stakeholders working on ageing.

Abstract

In recent decades, social and political pressures have forced a reevaluation of the roles of health and welfare professionals throughout Europe. Policy, People, and the New Professional examines those changes and their consequences. The volume reveals how public dissatisfaction with caregivers, financial pressures from government agencies, and attempts to cope with Europe's increasingly multicultural population have led to changes in responsibilities and oversight for a wide range of practitioners. Though more changes are certain to come as Europe's population ages' Policy, People, and the New Professional provides an essential explanation of the road traveled so far.
