Lehrbuch der Marte-Meo-Methode

More about the book

Marte Meo, derived from Latin, means to achieve something "of your own accord." Founded by Maria Aarts, the method connects professional counseling with dedicated self-help. It focuses on assisting parents by teaching them how to support their child's development through effective communication in everyday situations. By capturing and analyzing video clips of these moments, parents can identify successful interactions where they engage positively with their child, share joy, or provide appropriate guidance, which in turn helps them navigate challenging situations. Additionally, professionals in youth care, social services, and healthcare benefit from the method by learning how to establish better connections with those they support. This approach enables them to better recognize and respond to the needs of individuals, fostering their abilities and promoting growth. The unique strength of Marte Meo lies in its use of video, which offers new insights into personal actions. By focusing on existing resources, the method provides valuable support for individuals seeking guidance in managing their daily lives.
