  Abolish Rent takes aim at one of the foremost engines of inequality and injustice. 
   
  Rent drives millions into debt, despair, and onto the streets. The social cost of rent is too damn high. Written for anyone fed up with the permanent housing crisis, complicit politicians, and real estate greed, Abolish Rent dissects our housing system from the perspective of those it immiserates. Through unsparing analysis and striking stories of resistance, it shows us how tenants can, through organizing and collective action, harness our power and win the housing we deserve.From two cofounders of the largest tenants union in the country, this deeply reported account of the resurgent tenant movement centers poor and working-class people who are fighting back, staying put, and remaking the city in the process. Authors Tracy Rosenthal and Leonardo Vilchis take us to trilingual strategy meetings, raucous marches against gentrification, and daring eviction defenses where immigrants put their lives on the line. These are the seeds of the revolutionary movement we need to make our housing, our cities, and the world our home.

  Lillian: A True Story of...

  For most of us, the varied parts of our personalities are woven together and unified by our memories. But what happens when we have no memories? What happens when the components of memory (facts, feelings, and body states) are split apart and no longer relate to each other?
   
  When this story began more than 40 years ago, doctors and psychiatrists were mystified by patients with more than one personality. The diagnosis at the time was Multiple Personality Disorder. Lillian was afflicted with this condition owing to severe abuse during her childhood. Her mind held each trauma separately. Each personality took over her body, developing
   a life and personality of its own.
   
  Lillian’s aunt, Jean, became friends with 22 personalities. She played hide and seek with four-year-old Mary, taught five-year-old Amy to write, shopped for undergarments with Robin Jean, and communicated endlessly with each of the others. In the process, each personality revealed its beginnings. Over time, each personality revealed its own memories of their trauma and eventually became integrated.
   
  This is an exquisite and beautifully written story of poverty, transgenerational abuse, mental illness, and the healing power of love, science, and spirituality.
   
  As one reader puts it: “You will laugh, cry, turn away and come back again to its compelling truth.”

  Mental health resources increasingly focus on the self as the antidote to psychological suffering, offering strategies for prioritizing self-care and self-esteem. Yet as people focus more on the self, their suffering may actually worsen, as evidenced by the prevalence of mental health disorders today. According to Christian clinical psychologist Joshua Knabb, when people focus less on the self and more on God, their mental and spiritual health may improve. 
   
  Combining up-to-date psychological research with theological reflection, this book helps readers better understand the role that awe, pursued through the act of worship, plays in optimal psychological and spiritual functioning. Knabb explains that at its core, Christian mental and spiritual health involves worshipful awe of God, which can be intentionally cultivated throughout the day. The book also includes practices for readers to try out and use in clinical contexts. 
   
  Worship and Awe in Christian Psychology will benefit students in Christian counseling and psychology programs, mental health practitioners, and others who want to improve their mental and spiritual health from a Christian perspective.

  Psychodynamic Therapy -...

  Psychodynamic therapy is an approach to psychological treatment rooted in the ideas and concepts developed by Sigmund Freud and his followers. It emphasizes the importance of unconscious processes and early childhood experiences in shaping an individual's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This therapy aims to bring these unconscious factors into conscious awareness, helping individuals gain insight and resolve internal conflicts that may be contributing to current psychological difficulties. 
  The history of psychodynamic therapy traces back to the early 20th century when Freud, a neurologist, developed his theories of the unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, and the structure of the psyche. Freud’s ideas on human development, sexuality, and the role of unconscious drives sparked both widespread debate and fascination, establishing the foundation for psychodynamic therapy. Over time, various schools of thought and modifications emerged within psychodynamic theory, influenced by key figures such as Carl Jung, Melanie Klein, and Erik Erikson. Despite these developments, the core principles of psychodynamic therapy remain grounded in understanding how unconscious thoughts and past experiences shape present behavior. 
  Central to psychodynamic therapy is the belief that much of human behavior is influenced by internal, unconscious forces. These forces are often formed in early childhood and can result in unresolved conflicts, repressed memories, or unmet emotional needs. By exploring these unconscious factors, psychodynamic therapy seeks to uncover hidden patterns and help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves. The therapeutic relationship itself plays a vital role in this process, as the dynamics between the therapist and the client often mirror significant interpersonal relationships from the client’s past.
