NEW CHRONICLES OF DEAFNESS
In this work Paula Pfeifer tells us what it was like to lose her hearing progressively during childhood, until she became profoundly deaf at the age of 31 years old and then decided to have a cochlear implant which enabled her to hear again. Full of highs and lows, her journey towards sound is described in a sincere and heartfelt manner. From the preliminary tests prior to surgery through to the cochlear implant activation and months of adaptation to her new life, Paula builds a compelling account that captivates both people with hearing loss and those who interact with them. Paula describes the process of making her decision to have a cochlear implant: ‘’this book tells the journey of a person who was born hearing and became deaf, a journey that is very different from someone who was born without hearing and did not know any sound. I say that because I am aware of the philosophical discussions surrounding deafness. However, I am not interested in these theories and philosophies: I opted for sound’’.

Evil, good and beyond
In Evil, Good and Beyond, Flávio Gikovate states that the union between man and woman is a bond between opposites — that is, a selfish person is bewitched by a generous person and the other way around. Yet this kind of relationship causes both partners problems, for they will ultimately go through situations of sorrow and disappointment. According to the author, investing in one's own freedom and individuality is the solution. This could bring about couples formed by fair people, more mature to experience love.
Body, Mind and Healing After Jung
It is difficult to point to an aspect of Jungian psychology that does not touch on mind, body and healing in some way. In this book Raya Jones draws on the triad of body, mind and healing and (re)presents it as a domain of ongoing uncertainty within which Jung’s answers stir up further questions. Contributors from both clinical and scholarly backgrounds offer a variety of cultural and historical perspectives. Areas of discussion include: the psychosomatic nature of patients’ problems transference and counter-transference therapeutic techniques centred on movement or touch. Striking a delicate balance between theory-centred and practice-oriented approaches Body, Mind and Healing After Jung is essential reading for all Jungians.
A love story... with a happy ending
Technological advances and changes in society have led to the growth of individuality and the impoverishment of conventional love - which nonetheless prevails in the collective imagination as an ideal. This slow transformation, according to Flávio Gikovate, is excellent news. He believes that adults today have two options, both of which are much better than the possessive conventional relationships of old: to live alone, establishing more superficial emotional and physical connections or to develop relationships based on what he calls +love, which respects individuality and can create ties capable of lasting a lifetime. In this work, Gikovate explains how to take the second path - definitely more difficult, but far more rewarding.
