Design thinking is widely recognized as an alternative approach to innovation, but it can be challenging to implement, often conflicting with organizational structures, cultures, and processes. The practice of design thinking calls for a new mindset that moves past conventional approaches to innovation, and embraces ambiguity, risk-taking, and collaboration. Transform with Design presents examples of creative organizations across industries and geographies, and recounts the stories of how they adapted design thinking to build their innovation capabilities. Written by leading industry experts and design-thinking scholars, the book features ten anecdotal experiences by professionals who detail the implementation of design thinking as it unfolded for them. Contributors share how they navigated the many barriers and obstacles they encountered along the way and describe their experience from early beginnings to the present, revealing valuable lessons for anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. Providing a rich tapestry of examples, anecdotes, and lessons that place design thinking in perspective, Transform with Design is for innovators interested in learning how design has transformed organizations while also gaining a current perspective on what others are doing in their field.

English summary: This is a revised edition of the classical text on systemic thought. A total of 10 of the 22 chapters were completely rewritten, and the other 12 were revised. This is a textbook par excellence: a detailed look at basic theory, with many practical examples taken from the everyday experiences of the readers in their own contexts of psychotherapy, counseling, social work, coaching and organizational development. Since its initial publication in 1996, this volume has not experienced a radical change in paradigms, albeit a great number of innovations have occurred in methodology and the relevant settings. Systemic therapy and counseling has now been integrated into many new fields, has developed a number of responses to new problems and has become concerned with interacting with basic research in therapy and counseling approaches. Also, it has managed to sideskirt the usual internal debates. The authors present a broadly based and well-integrated picture of systemic therapy and counseling. They have also expanded the role of new innovations and methods derived from the English-language literature. This book is required reading for both students and practitioners in healthcare, social work, education and pastoral care as well as for persons who work in or with management and business consultation. German description: Dieser rundumerneuerte Klassiker - 10 von 22 Kapitel wurden neu geschrieben, die anderen 12 aktualisiert - ist im besten Sinne ein Lehrbuch: theoretisch fundiert und umfassend, in seinem 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 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 eine inzwischen deutlich breiter angelegte und mehr integrierte systemische Therapie und Beratung dar, wobei sie weit umfassender als in der ersten Ausgabe auf Innovationen und Praktiken aus der englischsprachigen Literatur eingehen. Das Buch ist ein Muss fur Studierende und Praktiker in Gesundheitswesen, Sozialer Arbeit, Padagogik und Seelsorge sowie fur Personen in Management und Unternehmensberatung.

English summary: Ten years after the publication of the first volume of the Textbook of Systemic Therapy and Counseling, Jochen Schweitzer and Arist von Schlippe turn their attention to the disorder-specific knowledge we have today of systemic therapy. From schizophrenic psychoses to eating disorders and addictions to suicidal endangerment; from cry-babies to learning disorders to hyperactivity; from adolescent headache to breast cancer to diabetes - the authors discuss the most important disorders occurring in adult psychotherapy, in child and adolescent therapy, and in family medicine. For each disorder they portray the most characteristic patterns and established treatments, employing numerous case studies to illuminate the system-therapeutic methods.This textbook demonstrates that it is indeed possible to bridge the gap between context- and solution-based theories of systemic therapy and the disorder-oriented approach from evidence-based medicine and psychotherapy. German description: Zehn Jahre nach dem Lehrbuch der systemischen Therapie und Beratung befassen sich Jochen Schweitzer und Arist von Schlippe im zweiten Teil 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 Jugendlichentherapie und der Familienmedizin. Zu jedem Storungsbild werden charakteristische Beziehungsmuster und bewahrte Entstorungen vorgestellt, zahlreiche Fallbeispiele veranschaulichen die systemtherapeutischen Arbeitsweisen. Dieses Lehrbuch zeigt, dass der Bruckenschlag zwischen dem kontext- und losungsbezogenen Denken der systemischen Therapie und dem storungsbezogenen Denken der evidenzbasierten Medizin und Psychotherapie moglich ist.

As an important addition to child and youth welfare, early help is an integral part of the current aid landscape. Andreas Eickhorst shows in a concise, up-to-date and comprehensive manner which systemic basics and methods can be used in early help and names workable fields. Friction issues are also discussed, as the early help situations are often rather ambivalent relationships, as certain issues - such as the prevention dilemma or the actual voluntary participation of families - are still unresolved. There is a huge potential in early help that needs to be exploited, with unresolved problems and uncertainties.
