Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Many therapeutic and preventive approaches focus on symptom reduction and behavioral change—but lasting change only occurs when people learn to combine emotional regulation with the systematic development of self-competence. The Emotion-Based Self-Competence Method (ESM) offers precisely that: a comprehensive development model that combines neurobiological findings with a clear, practice-oriented intervention concept. At the heart of ESM is the self-competence model according to Salig/Theissler, which enables the systematic development of the ability to understand, control, and value oneself. ESM combines these dimensions with the ability to use emotions as a resource – thus creating the basis for profound, sustainable change processes. This reference book systematically introduces ESM – from the theoretical foundations and the self-competence model to concrete intervention steps and their application in different settings. It is aimed at psychotherapists, counselors, coaches, educators, and anyone who works with people in prevention or therapy. • Well-founded presentation of the neurobiological and psychological foundations of emotional self-regulation and self-competence development • The self-competence model according to Salig/Theissler with its five central elements • Step-by-step instructions for the practical application of ESM • Numerous case studies from therapy and prevention • Differentiated consideration of various disorders and application contexts ESM opens up new avenues in therapeutic and preventive work: from reactive patterns to conscious self-control. From symptom treatment to personality development.
