From National Jewish Book Award Winner and author of Israel, a bold reevaluation of the tensions between American and Israeli Jews that reimagines the past, present, and future of Jewish life Relations between the American Jewish community and Israel are at an all-time nadir. Since Israel's founding seventy years ago, particularly as memory of the Holocaust and of Israel's early vulnerability has receded, the divide has grown only wider. Most explanations pin the blame on Israel's handling of its conflict with the Palestinians, Israel's attitude toward non-Orthodox Judaism, and Israel's dismissive attitude toward American Jews in general. In short, the cause for the rupture is not what Israel is; it's what Israel does. These explanations tell only half the story. We Stand Divided examines the history of the troubled relationship, showing that from the outset, the founders of what are now the world's two largest Jewish communities were responding to dif...

Thoughtful and eloquent, as timely (or timeless) now as when it was originally published in 1956, Thoughts in Solitude addresses the pleasure of a solitary life, as well as the necessity for quiet reflection in an age when so little is private. Thomas Merton writes: When society is made up of men who know no interior solitude it can no longer be held together by love: and consequently it is held together by a violent and abusive authority. But when men are violently deprived of the solitude and freedom which are their due, the society in which they live becomes putrid, it festers with servility, resentment and hate. Thoughts in Solitude stands alongside The Seven Storey Mountain as one of Merton's most uring and popular works. Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk, is perhaps the foremost spiritual thinker of the twentiethcentury. His diaries, social commentary, and spiritual writings continue to be widely read after his untimely death in 1968. Produ...

Spezifische Bedingungen, die die Sozialisation eines geistig behindert Menschen bestimmen. Dazu gehören die Instanzen der Diagnosestellung, die primäre Umwelt sowie die spezifischen Behandlungsmethoden. »Für mich besteht die beeindruckendste Leistung von Niedecken darin, wie sie in ihren Beispielen aus der therapeutischen Arbeit durch ihr psychoanalytisch geleitetes Vorverständnis und der Reflexion des therapeutischen Geschehens zu einem einfühlsamen Dialog mit den Kindern und Erwachsenen gelangt, ohne auf eine bestimmte Technik zu rekurrieren. Ihr therapeutisches Vorgehen ist weniger von einem logischen oder psychologischen Nachvollzug der Entwicklungsgeschichte der jeweiligen Kinder geprägt als vielmehr durch eine, immer wieder aufs Neue zu vollziehende Verständigung auf ein gemeinsam zu bearbeitendes Thema. Niedecken hat dabei deutlich machen können, wie vor allem eigene Widerstande und Abwehrmechanismen diesen Zugang zu einer »Verständigung« verhindern oder erschweren können. Sie h...
