Franz Grillparzer was not a man of extravagance either in phrase or conduct. His life as an individual and artist is marked by a reticence, an aversion to the unveiling of the inner SOul,1 that is perhaps best matched by the concise style and expression of his works. This art of effective restraint is particularly visible in the dramas where often a single word or indeed an utter silence carries the greatest emotional impact. There is an absolute lack of sound and fury signifying nothing; even in the frenzy of inspiration 2 Grillparzer carefully chooses words that best convey his thoughts and for purely emotional release he turns to another medium which he sharply distinguished from poetry: to music. If this poet then who knows no empty phrases applies terms like 'betrothed of the gods',3 'mother of all greatness',4 'mighty 5 lever of the universe', 'messenger of divine happiness'6 to one and the same concept at different times, we may assume that he here expresses something deeply anchored in his being. And indeed, the motif of concentration ('Sammlung') and inspiration ('Begeisterung') is one that we meet again and again in the poetry, the diaries and the dramas. This emotional state is at all times highly revered and greatly sought by the poet - it is, in fact, made a condition of creative productivity and, as the years pass, finally develops into a condition of life itself in the prophecy of 'Libussa'.

Das Phanomen der Schulvermeidung ist facettenreich und erfordert bei psychisch erkrankten Kindern und Jugendlichen effektive Massnahmen der schulischen Wiedereingliederung von der Psychiatrie zuruck in die Regelschule. Fur diese verantwortungsvolle Aufgabe bedarf es erprobter Ruckfuhrungskonzepte. Eine Auswahl an aktuellen Schulreintegrationskonzepten wird in diesem Buch einander gegenuber gestellt. Selbst entwickelte Materialien, die wahrend einer dreijahrigen Forschungsarbeit konzipiert wurden, werden bereit gestellt und mit Hilfe von Fallvignetten exemplarisch veranschaulicht. Das Werk enthalt einen Beitrag von Volker Reissner, Alexander Wertgen, Johannes Helmig und Johannes Hebebrand."

Sanktionen gehoren in der Schule zum Alltag. Die meisten Sanktionen geschehen automatisiert und werden selten hinterfragt. Nur sogenannte "schwerwiegende" Sanktionen, unter denen im Alltagsgebrauch meist Strafen verstanden werden, ziehen gelegentlich Reflexionen oder Diskussionen nach sich. Die Vermittlung von Wissen uber "richtiges" Sanktionieren ist bisher nicht systematisch in die Lehrerausbildung integriert, was zur Folge hat, dass wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse keinen Eingang in das Handeln von Lehrern haben. Ziel dieses Buches ist die Vermittlung von Grundlagen, um die Leser zu befahigen den wissenschaftlichen Kenntnisstand in den schulischen Alltag und ihr eigenes Handeln zu integrieren."
