        Ein Koffer voll Sand

        Roman

        by Franz Hodjak

        Bernd Burger und seine Frau Melitta sind mit ihrer Tochter im Auto unterwegs Richtung Deutschland. Es ist eine Reise des endgültigen Abschieds und der Ankunft im Ungewissen. Die Familie kommt aus Rumänien und will ins Auffanglager Hamm; bis in die Bodenseeregion hat sie es schon geschafft. Dort aber wird alles kompliziert. Die Länder, die in wenigen Kilometern Abstand aneinanderstoßen, irritieren die Reisenden. Sie haben ihre Erfahrungen mit Grenzen und Versuchen, sie zu überschreiten. Hier nun sind plötzlich die Staatsgrenzen nicht recht zu erkennen, man nähert sich ihnen gut vorbereitet und vorsichtig, und plötzlich ist man auf der anderen Seite, ohne es bemerkt zu haben. Was die Lage nicht übersichtlicher macht: Bernd Burger kann nicht Auto fahren und seine Frau weder Landkarten noch Straßenschilder lesen. So wird aus der Reise eine Irrfahrt voller komisch-skurriler Begegnungen mit einer gänzlich neuen Wirklichkeit, wahrgenommen durch den fremden Blick. Gleichzeitig bietet das Unterwegssein Gelegenheit zum Nachdenken darüber, was Heimat nicht war und wohl auch in der Erinnerung kaum werden kann, darüber, was aus dem vergangenen Leben brauchbar ist für die neue Welt, und was an der neuen Welt brauchbar ist für: was man nun einmal ist, und wer.

        Nature-based Therapy (NTB)

        Treat Stress Sequelae in a Landscape and Childhood-­oriented Manner

        by Anna A. Adevi, Melitta Breznik

        This practical book introduces “nature­-based therapy” (NBT) as a newer thera­peutic approach to the treatment of stress­related illnesses. The authors, with many years of experience in the felds of psychosomatics and garden therapy, use NBT as an extension of garden therapy and landscape medi­cine. They present the theoretical foun­dations and justify the use of nature as a therapeutic space. They show how the therapeutic approach can be applied in the felds of stress research, psycho­ neuro­immunology, epigenetics, per­sonality psychology, and lifestyle re­search. In 20 case descriptions they present the use of concrete therapy modules and describe each module with preparatory nature anamnesis, core topics, goals, materials and exercises.
