  “This book is must reading . . . although it will at times shock and perhaps even offend the sensibilities of traditional therapists.” —American Journal of Psychiatry This book brings together Erich Fromm’s basic statements on the application of psychoanalytic theory to social dynamics. At the same time, it offers an image of man consonant with the hopes of radical humanism.The Crisis of Psychoanalysis is a collection of nine brilliant essays. Although his work is deeply rooted in Freudian theory, Fromm further develops Freud’s doctrines by including both social and ethical dimensions, and applies his discoveries and insights to address the problems we face in society at large. “This collection is a fine representative sampling from a lucid, humane, always attractive writer.” —Kirkus Reviews “Highly recommended.” —Library Journal

Written for college and university practitioners and administrators, The Little Book of Restorative Justice for Campus Sexual Harms: A Holistic Approach to Address Sexual Misconduct and Relationship Violence for Colleges and Universities combines explanation, justification, and contextualization for the application of restorative justice (RJ) for sexual misconduct, including for alleged Title IX violations. This book outlines considerations, action steps, and best practices for campuses that are interested in exploring the successful implementation of RJ for sexual misconduct. The authors' backgrounds as practitioners within the higher education context grounds this work with personal reflections, experiences, and stories. This book provides a primer for colleges and universities who seek to move campus culture in a more restorative direction generally, and specifically for practitioners interested in exploring the possibility of amending existing sexual misconduct policies, including investigative-adjudicatory Title IX policy and procedures, through a restorative justice informed lens. Readers will explore why it makes all the difference (for both students and administrators) to add RJ resolution options.

  [How to Recognize Toxic Anxiety] delves into the intricate landscapes of modern anxiety with unflinching precision and intimate understanding. Through lyrical prose that echoes the quiet moments of psychological struggle, this groundbreaking exploration maps the subtle territories where anxiety infiltrates daily life. With remarkable attention to detail, the book illuminates how anxiety transforms ordinary experiences—from morning coffee rituals to midnight thoughts—into complex negotiations with fear. Drawing on rich metaphorical frameworks of weather patterns, architecture, and internal chemistry, it offers readers a revolutionary lens for understanding their own experiences of anxiety. What sets this work apart is its masterful balance of scientific insight and emotional resonance, weaving together the biological underpinnings of anxiety with the deeply personal experience of navigating its presence in contemporary life. The narrative doesn't just describe anxiety; it captures its essence in the spaces between heartbeats, in the pauses between breaths, in the moments between thoughts—making visible what has long remained unseen.
