Selbstfürsorge in helfenden Berufen

Ulrike Juchmann · 2022
91/100
👍 Worth It

Ulrike Juchmann, a Berlin-based psychologist and certified MBSR/MBCT instructor, wrote this book for the professionals most likely to skip their own self-care: nurses, therapists, social workers, educators. What distinguishes it from generic wellness books is its specificity — Juchmann accounts for the biographical and structural factors that make self-care hard in helping professions, not just the personal choices. The five-week structured course with author-recorded audio files gives readers an actionable program to follow, grounded in evidence-based mindfulness methods. The honest caveats: this is a German-language title with no English translation found, so the audience is limited, and at 148 pages it may move through complex territory quickly. For German-speaking helping professionals, it is a practical, professionally grounded resource.
