When the unthinkable truth emerges as their final conclusion, and the plan is exposed, George and the team must be silenced.

With evocative storytelling and incisive research, Katie Rose Guest Pryal brings a new eye to the mental health crisis that higher education has faced for decades. Written from the perspective of a bipolar-autistic professor, A Light in the Tower is both a bracing account of the mental health crisis in higher education and a passionate and informed proposal for how to teach with mental health in mind. Pryal contends that higher education's mental health crisis is the result of long-term systemic problems in education that demand nothing short of a revolution.

Las palabras, las grandes y las pequeñas, son puentes que nos unen. Nunca nacen solas. Hay tantos autores que han escrito grandes y luminosas palabras sobre la Gestalt.

L'uomo soffre per "l'insensatezza" del suo lavoro, per il suo sentirsi "soltanto un mezzo" "nell'universo dei mezzi", senza che all'orizzonte appaia una finalità prossima o una finalità ultima in grado di conferire senso. Sembra infatti che la tecnica non abbia altro scopo se non il proprio autopotenziamento. Di fronte a questa diagnosi, la psicoanalisi rivela tutta la sua impotenza, perché gli strumenti di cui dispone, se sono utilissimi per la comprensione delle dinamiche emotivo-relazionali, per i processi di simbolizzazione sono inefficaci.

In other words, once you learn how to cultivate a photographic memory, you’ll be able to easily set yourself apart from the rest.

Paixão da Ignorância: A Escuta Entre a Psicanálise e Educação, do Professor Christian Dunker, inaugura a coleção “Educação e Psicanálise”, da Editora Contracorrente, que tem como objetivo dar voz a educadores e psicanalistas, a fim de reduzir o hiato entre a transmissão oral e a escrita, entre escola e universidade, entre prática e pesquisa, surgidas do chão da sala de aula.

Wie aber kann eine andere, menschliche Autorität funktionieren? In diesem Hörbuch macht er fundiert und umsetzbar verständlich, wie sich Achtsamkeit, Respekt und Mitbestimmung mit Klarheit, Führung und Verantwortung verbinden lassen, und vermittelt ein klares Bild von einer guten Kindheit, ohne falsche Leuchttürme und Erziehungstrends.

In den ersten drei Jahren mit Baby und Kleinkind stellen sich viele Eltern immer wieder ähnliche Fragen zur Gesundheit und Entwicklung. Erstaunlicherweise sind die Antworten oft gar nicht so leicht zu finden. In der Kinderarztpraxis ist wenig Zeit, im Internet wimmelt es von verwirrenden, teils widersprüchlichen Aussagen und wen fragt man, wenn das Baby ausgerechnet Samstagnacht zum ersten Mal hoch fiebert? Neben dieser gibt es viele weitere Fragen, die gerade bei Ersteltern im täglichen Leben auftauchen.
