Changing Gender Roles
DeBiaggi focuses on recent Brazilian immigrant families. There are over 600,000 Brazilians in the U.S., the majority in metropolitan New York (230,000) and Boston (150.000). Drawing on the methods of cross-cultural and gender studies, DeBiaggi interviewed 50 Brazilian families, husbands and wives, in Boston. Using quantitative and qualitative data, she found that immigration to the U.S. affected both the husband's and the wife's gender roles as well as their relationship. Coming from a more patriarchal society, Brazilian families face changes in their attitudes towards women and in their division of household labor and childcare. In turn, these changes affect how satisfied husbands and wives are in their marriage. Finally, the study indicates the importance of women's rights to the development of fairer and more egalitarian relationships.
O Eu em Ruína
Problemas na constituição e no funcionamento do Eu estão no cerne de boa parte das chamadas "novas doenças da alma", nas palavras de Júlia Kristeva. Os sofrimentos narcísicos em variadas formas e magnitudes (atingindo o psíquico e o somático), a melancolia e outros estados depressivos, as organizações paranoides e esquizoides da personalidade, as toxicomanias, os transtornos alimentares etc., ocupam lugar relevante na clínica psicanalítica atual, para não falarmos dos casos que, infelizmente, não puderam ser objeto de nossos cuidados, como o de Estamira, contemplado em um dos capítulos do livro. A expressão adotada – o Eu em ruína – corresponde perfeitamente a este grande conjunto de adoecimentos que desafiam os psicanalistas das mais diversas procedências, independentemente de suas orientações teóricas. Assim, torna-se bem-vinda esta reedição do livro organizado por Eliane Michelini Marraccini. Luís Claudio Figueiredo

A Psychoanalyst on the Couch
An interview with Juan-David Nasio. In A Psychoanalyst on the Couch, we find the noted psychoanalyst and Lacan commentator Juan-David Nasio on the analysts couch himself. In the interview that makes up this book, he provides insight into his forty-year career as a writer and practitioner, elaborating on Freudian and Lacanian concepts important to his work and reflecting on broad issues related to psychology and cultureas well as personal remembrances. The result is an intimate and wide-ranging look at the man and thinker, both an introduction to his work and a deeper look at his approach and outlook.
The Atlantic Forest
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
