Karl König

This book follows Karl König's spiritual journey from his early years to the end of his life. Through the words of his diaries, in which his battles with health and his impatient temperament are recorded with merciless honesty, we can follow his inner path that led to profound insights into the nature of children with special needs. His personal wrestlings and innate spirituality laid the foundation for his work in the Camphill Schools and Villages. Includes facsimile reproductions of some of König's original diary pages. About the Karl König Archive: Karl König, the founder of Camphill, was a prolific lecturer and writer on a wide range of subjects from anthroposophy and Christology through social questions and curative education to science and history. The Karl König Archive are working on a programme of publishing these works over the coming years.

What does it mean to be human? Human development unfolds in a twofold way. On the one hand, there is an ever-more profound incarnation, or "inhabitation," of the physical body. On the other hand, there is the increasing discrimination of the individual objects of the world. Difficulties and obstacles along this path can lead to so-called disabilities. K nig's approach to curative education allows us to see these disabilities as meaningful ways of coping with or resolving the various problems that arise in living in a physical body. From this point of view, "disabilities" are exaggerated forms of ways we all use to cope with life. "The point is not only to see the deviations, but to see them against the mighty backdrop of a comprehensive child anthropology." Being Human presents the outline of just such a comprehensive anthropology. Being Human is of value not only to those working in special education, but to anyone interested in the dynamics of incarnation and "normal" development. ∞ ∞ ∞ CONTENTS: Foreword by Michaela Gl cklerIntroduction by Cornelius Pietzner PART I Three Ways of DiagnosingSome Guiding Images in the Area of Motor Disturbances: The Lonely IndividualSome Guiding Images in the Area of Sensory DisturbancesThe Problem of Right and LeftThe World of LanguageThe Gestalt of the Child PART II An Introduction to Convulsive DisordersDifferent Types of Convulsive DisordersEpilepsy and Hysteria

Die Probleme kranker Menschen zu erkennen und richtig damit umzugehen ist zentrales Thema jeder pflegerischen Tätigkeit. König beschreibt in seinem Ratgeber einfühlsam und prägnant die Formen des Umgangs im Krankenhaus und die Chancen, aber auch die Schwachstellen in der Klinik. Er geht auf die wichtigsten Probleme der Patienten ein: ihre Ängste, ihren Umgang mit der Krankheit, altersspezifische Probleme (Kinder, alte Menschen) und auf die Ansprüche, die Angehörige, Pflegende und Ärzte an die Patienten stellen. Das Buch ist sehr anschaulich und verständlich geschrieben und beeindruckt durch die Fülle der Erfahrungen, die König als Internist, Psychoanalytiker, Gruppenpsychotherapeut und Team-Supervisor einbringt.
