Systemic Counselling in the Prevention of Extremism: Theory, practice and methods

How can systemic counselling on deradicalisation, distancing from and exiting extremism be successful? This book addresses this question. As a fundamental work on systemic deradicalisation counselling, it presents theoretical concepts using the example of Islamist extremism. As a practical guide, it offers application-orientated knowledge by presenting systemic methods of intervention using case studies. Voices from practice for practice explain the potential of systemic counselling and interdisciplinary guest contributions deepen individual aspects. Special challenges in the field of counselling and solution strategies are presented.
