  Human beings are inherently social creatures. From the moment we are born, our connections with others shape who we are, how we feel, and how we navigate the world. Relationships are not merely a luxury or a source of comfort—they are fundamental to our mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. The bonds we form, whether with family, friends, romantic partners, or our broader community, are critical to our sense of self and our ability to thrive. 
  Interpersonal therapy (IPT) recognizes the central role that relationships play in our lives. Unlike other therapeutic approaches that may focus primarily on individual cognition or behavior, IPT places relationships at the heart of healing. It understands that many psychological struggles do not arise in isolation but rather stem from disruptions or difficulties in our interactions with others. Whether it is a conflict with a loved one, the pain of losing someone dear, or the struggle to adapt to a major life transition, these challenges can deeply impact our emotional health. 
  The foundation of IPT lies in the belief that by addressing these relational difficulties, we can foster profound healing and personal growth. This approach is not about blaming others for our problems but about understanding how our interactions influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is about recognizing patterns, improving communication, and building healthier connections. By focusing on the here and now of our relationships, IPT provides a practical and focused framework for change.

  Edgar Award Winner: True stories of miscarriages of justice, legal battles, and landmark reversals, by the creator of Perry Mason.    In 1945, Erle Stanley Gardner, noted attorney and author of the popular Perry Mason mysteries, was contacted by an overwhelmed California public defender who believed his doomed client was innocent. William Marvin Lindley had been convicted of the rape and murder of a young girl along the banks of the Yuba River, and was awaiting execution at San Quentin. After reviewing the case, Gardner agreed to help—it seemed the fate of the “Red-Headed Killer” hinged on the testimony of a colorblind witness.   Gardner’s intervention sparked the Court of Last Resort. The Innocence Project of its day, this ambitious and ultimately successful undertaking was devoted to investigating, reviewing, and reversing wrongful convictions owing to poor legal representation, prosecutorial abuses, biased police activity, bench corruption, unreliable witnesses, and careless forensic-evidence testimony. The crimes: rape, murder, kidnapping, and manslaughter. The prisoners: underprivileged and vulnerable men wrongly convicted and condemned to life sentences or death row with only one hope—the devotion of Erle Stanley Gardner and the Court of Last Resort.   Featuring Gardner’s most damning cases of injustice from across the country, The Court of Last Resort won the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime. Originating as a monthly column in Argosy magazine, it was produced as a dramatized court TV show for NBC.

  How inequality was forged, fought over, and forgotten through public policy in metropolitan Chicago. As in many American metropolitan areas, inequality in Chicagoland is visible in its neighborhoods. These inequalities are not inevitable, however. They have been constructed and deepened by public policies around housing, schooling, taxation, and local governance, including hidden state government policies.In Structuring Inequality, historian Tracy L. Steffes shows how metropolitan inequality in Chicagoland was structured, contested, and naturalized over time even as reformers tried to change it through school desegregation, affordable housing, and property tax reform. While these efforts had modest successes in the city and the suburbs, reformers faced significant resistance and counter-mobilization from affluent suburbanites, real estate developers, and other defenders of the status quo who defended inequality and reshaped the policy conversation about it. Grounded in comprehensive archival research and policy analysis, Structuring Inequality examines the history of Chicagoland’s established systems of inequality and provides perspective on the inequality we live with today.
