Deepest Sympathy, Again
The journey from sorrow to peace is one we all take at our own peace. The sympathy of loved ones help guide the way. I have to express my deepest sympathy to the loss of our CE community again. A conductor could not find her way back from Himalaya which is a great loss for us and for the speleotist community too.

Konduktiv mehrfach- therapeutische Förderung nach Petö und Keil: Theorie - Praxis - Effektivität
And this is what I brought to question in one of my former posts: Conductive Education as a name for CE is a misnomer. But to call it "mehrfachtherapie" is even worse to me. I guess it refers to Frau Helga Keil.
Sandra Schwarcenbacher's new book: Konduktiv mehrfach- therapeutische Förderung nach Petö und Keil: Theorie - Praxis - Effektivität
This is written by Amazon as product description:
Die ursprünglich von dem ungarischen Arzt und Wissenschafter Dr. András Petö gegründete und von Helga Keil weiterentwickelte Methode der konduktiven Förderung wird in der Behandlung und Förderung v.a. cerebral bewegungsbeeinträchtigter Menschen seit Jahren erfolgreich eingesetzt. In diesem Buch gibt die Autorin in einem ersten allgemeinen Teil einen Überblick über die theoretischen Grundpfeiler der konduktiv mehrfachtherapeutischen Förderung nach Petö und Keil, ihrer Zielsetzung und ihrer praktischen Anwendung. Anhand zweier Fallbeispiele geht sie im zweiten, empirisch-wissenschaftlichen Teil der Arbeit der Frage nach, ob sich aufgrund der Teilnahme an einem Intensiv-Therapiekurs nach der erwähnten Methode Veränderungen im Selbstbild, im Speziellen in den Kontroll- und Kompetenzüberzeugungen feststellen lassen. Ein Blick in dieses Buch ist für alle Personen interessant, die mit dem Thema "Behinderung" befasst sind. Sowohl betroffenen Eltern, als auch Therapeuten, Konduktoren oder Personen, die weiterführende Studien zu diesem Themenkomplex durchführen wollen kann diese Arbeit grundlegende Informationen geben und darüber hinaus neue Denkanstöße vermitteln.

Our story in participatory practice
My story defines who I am. If I want to know myself, to gain insight into the meaning of my own life, then I …must come to know my own story. (McAdams, 1993:11)
Coming to know own stories is the beginning of becoming critical and self-critical. Participatory practitioners listen to and share everyday stories as respectful opening of a mutual partnership. It is a relationship founded on the fundamental belief in people to be autonomous subjects in their word. Our stories embody process begins so early in our lives that our identities are shaped by what is reflected back to us about who we are, and we tend to accept these messages with all their flawed contradictions unquestioningly. Therefore, our stories contain the values and attitudes of the status quo that rank us in order of perceived importance in society. What happens when you suddenly surrounded by another and different society? When your embodied values are questioned? This would be an uncomfortable process, and a distressing experience.
Ultimately we must ask ourselves what kind of a society we wish to live in and what we are going to do … (Darder, 2002:231) Praxis can not happen without respect, dignity, trust, reciprocity and mutuality neither can dialogue exist without humility.
The way we see the world influences the way we act in the world: epistemologies and ontologies work in dynamic relationship.

Our story is (or shoud be) a community based "action" for transformative change.
