History and Psychoanalysis in the Columbus Centre
This book draws on a range of key archives and oral testimonies to provide the first systematic and historical study of the origins, context, development, frustrations, inner contradictions, and legacies of the Columbus Centre.

So deeply embedded were the assumptions and procedures of this distinctively German military culture that the Army, in its drive to annihilate the enemy military, did not shrink from the utter destruction of civilian property and lives. Carried to its extreme, the logic of "military necessity" found real security only in extremities of destruction, in th...

Prominent cancer specialists present the most recent facts about the causes, treatment, and coping strategies of women affected by this dreaded disease--either as its victims or as caretakers for those with cancer.
