Radicalization of Youth Through Online Propaganda - An Overview of the Current State of Research from Three Professional Perspective. Young people spend a lot of time on social media and are confronted with fake news and propaganda from extremist groups. Extremist groups operate on the platforms that young people use and target their needs. Radicalization processes are increasingly taking place exclusively online. The article is designed as a narrative review and provides an overview of the current state of research on (online) radicalization among adolescents. It addresses the developmental psychological background to radicalization and looks at how young people are exposed to extremist content and the technological mechanisms behind it. A multi-layered approach to prevention is recommended, which considers aspects of communication, information and education to strengthen media literacy and addresses the responsibility of platform operators. It also points out the possibilities of counseling in this area.

Determining Factors and Developmental Psychological Challenges in Deradicalisation Processes for Adolescents. This qualitative study investigates the psychological and social factors influencing individual deradicalization processes. The starting point were exemplary case reports from which potentially conditioning factors were extracted. These factors, which often resemble a "black box" in the deradicalization process, were thoroughly discussed in four moderated focus group discussions with N= 15 professionals from extremism prevention, exit counselling, correctional services, and constitutional protection. In collegial exchange, the experts reflected on key dynamics from their practice. The results highlight the high individuality and complexity of deradicalization trajectories, which are significantly shaped by developmental maturation, biographical experiences, and social contexts. Adolescence plays a particular role: extremist groups often compensate for deficits in identity development during this phase. Sustainable distancing processes usually require cognitive opening as well as experiences of disillusionment - such as the absence of expected gains through the extremist scene. Professional support, family involvement, and realistic future perspectives foster self-reflection and self-efficacy. Important implications arise for developmental psychologists and the work of child and adolescent psychiatrists: targeted promotion of developmental maturation and nuanced assessment of psychosocial burdens are essential to support sustainable deradicalization and reintegration processes. The study thus emphasizes the central role of developmentally informed expertise in multidisciplinary intervention approaches. Furthermore, the study points to the limited validity of existing evaluation tools and underscores the necessity for longterm, developmentally oriented interventions. The findings provide important impulses for the evidence-based advancement of deradicalization and reintegration practice.

Victims of Violent Extremism - Psychological Consequences and Treatment Options. Violent extremism is directed against societies and institutions and aims to destabilise such structures and trigger uncertainty. The expressive effect of these acts therefore also arises from the public's evaluation of them. The specific nature of the violent act also has implications for those children and adolescents directly and indirectly affected by violent extremism. Within the framework of a narrative review, the specific aspects resulting from this for the treatment of trauma related disorders in children, adolescents and their relatives are presented.

Psychotherapeutic Counseling in Disengagement and Deradicalization - Case-Related Insights Into the Work of Nexus. This article presents the work of nexus, a psychotherapeutic and psychiatric counseling team, specializing in the areas of Islamist and right-wing extremism. Founded in Berlin in 2018, nexus has been cooperating nationwide with specialized counseling services and deradicalization programs since 2023. In this article, case reports are used to highlight the crucial intersection of youth welfare, extremism prevention and mental health. Considerations are discussed as to how psychotherapists and related professionals can contribute to such complex case constellations in order to enhance the prospects of successful distancing and exit processes.

Medical Care for Minors After Sexual Violence, with Special Consideration of Technology- Assisted Sexual Violence This article provides a practical overview of holistic somatic medical care for minors who have been affected by sexual abuse. The procedures presented are based on current guidelines and on established structures at Charite-Universitatsmedizin Berlin. The article describes the key processes involved, from the initial consultation and physical examination to documentation, diagnosis and prophylaxis, and aftercare. Particular attention is paid given to traumasensitive communication, the legal framework and the importance of continuous interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary cooperation. Structured diagnostic consideration of technology- assisted sexual abuse (or online child sexual abuse, OCSA) is thus becoming increasingly relevant. Transnational recommendations such as the EU PROMISE-Elpis protocols support the establishment of standardized procedures to improve the quality of care and prevent retraumatisation. The article advocates for uniform and comprehensive further training in medical child protection.
