Look At Me Now!

Elisabeth Gerhardsen

This book offers good advice about how to strengthen a child's self-esteem and self-awareness. Self-esteem entails a belief in one's own abilities, self-knowledge an understanding of who one is. Both kinds of self- awareness are shaped by what we do in relation to the child, what we tell it and what we say about it, as well as the child's perception of how others respond to him/her and of the world and the adults in his/her immediate environment.What can be done to improve the child's image of itself? How should one praise a child, without suggesting championship status? To what extent does our own self-awareness affect the child? What are the practical consequences of respectively a good and a poor self-image?The author discusses ordinary, everyday situations and suggests how to deal with different challenges. She offers advice on how to go about instilling a good sense of self without accepting all of the child's own premises.A down-to-earth, user-friendly and amusing book for all parents!

A Road Back from Schizophrenia

Arnhild Lauveng

Arnhild Lauveng spent ten years in secure wards suffering from schizophrenia. She was deeply psychotic, self-destructive and broke glasses and plates to cut herself with the shards. In this book, the author takes the reader into a world of voices and hallucinations, where she is chased by hordes of rats and packs of wolves with yellow eyes and slavering jaws snap at her heels. We learn to understand that these illusions have their own logic and how they can be interpreted – and the author's interpretations are like solutions to small crime mysteries. This is the powerful story of her journey back to reality, assisted by a mother who refused to give up hope, a victory that only a handful believe is possible and that sadly is seldom achieved. Reviews: A Road Back from Schizophrenia is a unique book. About hope and identity [...] the fact that she also brings both humor and irony unto the book is all the more reason to recommend this book.'KRISTELIGT DAGBLAD, Denmark 'If it was up to me, A Road Back from Schizophrenia would be read and discussed in all psychiatric hospitals and institutions in this country. There is much to be gained, no matter what one does for a living.' POLITIKEN, Denmark
