Bøger af Per Revstedt

Motivation defineres som en menneskelig stræben efter at leve så meningsfuldt og selvrealiseret som muligt. Denne stræben er udtryk for menneskets inderste natur: at være konstruktiv, social, målrettet og aktivPer Revstedt har udviklet en teori og metodik i arbejdet med klienter, som ofte ikke forekommer motiverede for at lave om på deres tilværelse – især hårdt belastede grupper såsom narkomaner, alkoholikere, alvorligt psykisk syge samt kriminelle krænkere.Bogen henvender sig til studerende og praktikere inden for socialt arbejde, kriminalforsorg og misbrugsbehandling og er en praktisk vejledning for dem, der møder umotiverede klienter i deres arbejde.3. udgave af bogen er bl.a. udvidet med et helt nyt og omfattende kapitel om motivationsarbejde og socialt arbejde med børn og deres familier. Per Revstedt er uddannet psykolog og psykoterapeut. Han har arbejdet mange år inden for psykiatrien, bl.a. med miljøterapeutisk behandling. Desuden har han flere års erfaring som vejleder og underviser inden for socialsektoren, kriminalforsorgen og psykiatrien.Oversat fra svensk efter []Motivationsarbete[] af Ole Lindegård Henriksen.

In part four of Motivational Work the theory is deepened. It allows the author to describe the functions of the contact rebus in greater detail. The theory can be likened to a very large-scale map: it depicts the same reality as a map with a smaller representative fraction, but shows features that would otherwise be too small to see. This wealth of detail can help the motivational worker develop an even greater understanding of the mechanics of the counsellor-client encounter and give him invaluable guidance in his work.

The book fills a vacuum in theory and method. Motivational work is an approach designed to help people who are considered to be unmotivated and hopeless. Most personnel contacts are based on the client/patient being motivated to some degree, i.e. that he or she wants to cooperate constructively and accept help. When you expect constructive cooperation from clients/patients, you only reach the group that is relatively functional. This leads to the motivation paradox: the clients/patients who have the greatest need of support receive the least. Motivational work tries to resolve this paradox, so that those who are most in need actually receive help.The third part of the Motivational Work is about method and techniques. They are not essential to motivational work. The advantage of using them is that motivational work can progress more rapidly and the motivational worker obtains help in structuring his meetings with the latently motivated client. A prerequisite for using these methods is that a motivational relation already exists.Motivational Work is suitable as course literature for social workers, correctional workers, treatment personnel in psychiatry, hospital staff and police; in other words, for all categories of people who meet unmotivated clients in their work.At the same time, the book is aimed at academic education linked with psychology; for example, courses in psychology and medical training as well as economics and management programs. Motivational work is a general psychological theory with which professionals should be familiar whenever they work a lot with people.

The contents of this section are not only of general interest; they are also of profound significance to the motivational worker as regards the prevention of burnout and the maintenance of commitment.Motivational Work is suitable as course literature for social workers, correctional workers, treatment personnel in psychiatry, hospital staff and police; in other words, for all categories of people who meet unmotivated clients in their work.At the same time, the book is aimed at academic education linked with psychology; for example, courses in psychology and medical training as well as economics and management programs.

It includes a description of what this relation should include. It is emotional energy that the latently motivated person wants as a response to his contact rebuses. As well as the motivational relation, there is also a demotivational relation. The motivational worker has an increasingly negative or indifferent attitude to the client. It is important that the motivational worker is aware of its existence and has the instruments to handle it, so that it does not become stronger than the motivational relation.The book describes different forms of motivational work. Particularly important among these is motivational work with the organisation. Since the latently motivated client does not seek help himself, the motivational worker will generally be working in a bureaucratic organisation such as the social services, healthcare or the correctional services. For this reason he must also deal with the organisation's contact rebus. The risk of being burned out is often greater from this rather than the client's contact rebus.
