Insgesamt verstehen die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes die Begriffe Widerstand und Fürsorge als historisch spezifische Formen des Umgangs der Subjekte mit gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen. Widerstand und Fürsorge sind weder gegensätzliche noch zwingend zusammengehörende Pole, sondern gesellschaftliche Phänomene, denen sich eine psychoanalytische Sozialpsychologie zuwendet.

Adam Phillips's short book, now issued with a new preface, is an elegant, thoughtful attempt to get to grips with a writer, paediatrician and psychiatrist whose work with children and mothers (and the wider implications their relationship has for all of us) continues to be profoundly relevant and fascinating.
No statesman shaped the twentieth century more than Winston Churchill. To know the full Churchill is to understand the combination of boldness and caution, of assertiveness and humility, that defines statesmanship at its best. With fresh perspective and insights based on decades of studying and teaching Churchill, Larry P. Arnn explores the greatest challenges faced by Churchill over the course of his extraordinary career, both in war and peace—and always in the context of Churchill’s abiding dedication to constitutionalism. Churchill’s Trial is organized around the three great challenges to liberty that Churchill faced: Nazism, Soviet communism, and his own nation’s slide toward soc...
