Concentrative Movement Therapy (CMT) Konzentrative Bewegungstherapie (KBT) An evaluated Body Psychotherapy for psychosomatic and psychich disorders The body is becoming increasingly significant in the concepts of psychotherapy.

This book explores and reveals the intricacies of Jewish heritage in contemporary Germany, the role it plays as a "moral heritage" in the symbolic representation of Jews and Judaism in the national landscape, and its relevance for the cultural sustainability of local Jewish communities. The practice of synagogue music in the past and present is a central case study in the discussions. This ethnographic study examines how Jewish liturgical music as the cultural heritage of minorities has been constructed, treated, discussed, appropriated, and passed on to different actors in different forms and for different purposes over time.

A hipótese de utilização do judiciário para fins políticos tem sido aventada a partir de diferentes linhas de investigação no mundo todo. No Brasil, têm se destacado as categorias de pós-democracia, Estado de Exceção e Lawfare para descrever esse fenômeno. Este livro se propõe a habilitar no debate público brasileiro contemporâneo o conceito de justiça política, conforme construído por Otto Kirchheimer. Ao recorrer a esse conceito, mergulhando em bibliografia ainda pouco acessível ao leitor brasileiro em função da ainda pendente tradução de obras como "Justiça Política" para o português, esta obra investiga a hipótese de uma conceituação acurada do fenômeno jurídico-político que se desenrolou no país no chamado Caso Lula. A obra de Kirchheimer nos permite olhar a partir da lente de um jurista crítico do século XX cujos escritos sobre o constitucionalismo, a relação entre direito e política, a República de Weimar e a ascensão do nazifascismo na Alemanha reservam apontamentos que transcendem a distância temporal que guardam com a contemporaneidade.
