Die limitierte Studienausgabe des Lehrbuch der systemischen Therapie und Beratung von Arist von Schlippe und Jochen Schweitzer umfasst die aktuellen Ausgaben von Band I und II. Beide Bande sind im besten Sinne Lehrbucher: theoretisch fundiert und umfassend, in ihrem Praxisbezug nahe am Alltag der Leser/-innen in den verschiedenen Kontexten von Psychotherapie, Beratung, Sozialer Arbeit, Padagogik, Coaching und Organisationsentwicklung. Die systemische Therapie und Beratung hat seit Erscheinen der Erstauflage des ersten Bandes 1996 keine grundlegenden Paradigmenwechsel erlebt, dafur aber zahlreiche Innovationen in der Methodik und in den Settings. Sie hat sich in neuen Arbeitsfelder erprobt, neue Vorgehensweisen fur neue Probleme entwickelt, sich mit Diskursen aus Grundlagenforschung und anderen Therapie- und Beratungsansatzen beschaftigt und schliesslich die schulenbedingten Profilierungskampfe weiter hinter sich gelassen. So stellen die Autoren in der aktuellen Auflage des ersten Bandes eine inzwischen deutlich breiter angelegte und mehr integrierte systemische Therapie und Beratung dar, wobei sie umfassend auf Innovationen und Praktiken aus der englischsprachigen Literatur eingehen. Der zweite Band befasst sich mit dem storungsspezifischen Wissen der systemischen Therapie. Von den schizophrenen Psychosen uber Essstorungen und Suchte bis zur Suizidgefahrdung, von den Schreibabys uber die Lernstorungen bis zur Hyperaktivitat, vom Kinderkopfschmerz uber den Brustkrebs bis zum Diabetes - Jochen Schweitzer und Arist von Schlippe erlautern die wichtigsten Storungsbilder der Erwachsenenpsychotherapie, der Kinder- und Jugendlichenpsychotherapie und der Familienmedizin. Zu jedem Storungsbild werden charakteristische Beziehungsmuster und bewahrte Entstorungen vorgestellt, zahlreiche Fallbeispiele veranschaulichen die systemtherapeutischen Arbeitsweisen. Band II zeigt, dass der Bruckenschlag zwischen dem kontext- und losungsbezogenen Denken der systemischen Therapie und dem storungsbezogenen Denken der evidenzbasierten Medizin und Psychotherapie moglich ist. Die Lehrbucher sind ein Muss fur Studierende und Praktiker in Gesundheitswesen, Sozialer Arbeit, Padagogik und Seelsorge sowie fur Personen in Management und Unternehmensberatung.
