Leben Mit Einem Beeintrachtigten Kind Paperback

Lydia Schmieder

Lydia Schmieder examines the changes for the life of parents after the birth of an impaired child. The author discusses the handling of such turning points from a developmental psychological perspective. The basis of the investigation is the particularly rich but seldom used data of parental self-reports. Processes of flexible letting go of goals and persistent goal pursuit (Brandtstädter, 2007) seems to be of particular importance in dealing with these challenges.
