Werner Eitle is the author of several specialist books and has written many articles for social / curative education journals, as well as several online articles (e.g.). His journalistic focus is on the field of curative education , which he defines as follows:

Curative education is a scientific discipline of education. In theory and in practice, it deals with people whose development takes place under difficult conditions ... In doing so, curative education makes use of other sciences. It is therefore primarily an eclectic discipline (using the ideas of others, choosing) ... As a therapeutic aid in many cases, curative education corresponds to the Greek meaning of the word therapy in the sense of accompanying someone (Eitle 2003, p. 8).

With his successful and competent publication Basic Knowledge of Curative Education , the author certainly did not want to replace other standard works of curative education - but to supplement it. That is why Werner Eitle deals very comprehensively with the specialist science of curative education; he refers to the neighboring disciplines of curative education, such as B. medicine, psychology, sociology, theology, neurosciences and law make a meaningful contribution and draws attention to the eclectic effects ... He deals critically but pragmatically with the job description, whereby he describes the diversity of the field of activity in the Identifies curative education as a real connoisseur of the scene (Lemke 2008, p. 34).
