The American domestic landscape has never been bleaker. Gone are the optimistic ideals of the American dream. The income gap continues to increase, the American manufacturing industry has all but disappeared, and jobs are outsourced overseas. When manufacturing opportunities disappear, we compete for low-paying service industry jobs. Our access to health care, clean water, and clear air is threatened by government paralysis. While elected officials squabble, place blame, and fail to represent the people who elected them, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The once thriving middle class is withering. What happened in the last fifty years to drive these negative changes? What is the role of the government in these turbulent times? Does the individual have a voice for change? If so, how best can we achieve positive government reform? Author Paul Gordon recognizes the need for a government that's capable of evolving with the populace. He sees the Constitution as a living document that can adjust to the times. His timely new book, Unions, Public Heath, Government Action, Oh My, is an insightful and brutally honest analysis of how we got here and how we can return to a robust economy-one built for Americans, by Americans.

The Philadelphia Association has been providing asylum for over 40 years. People diagnosed as 'mentally ill' have found in PA houses a haven where they can recover, in their own time and their own way, free from the well-meaning interventions of psychiatry or family. Little has been written about this radical movement until now.

Dial "M" for Mother is the first book-length study to consistently and systematically apply a Freudian psychoanalytic approach to a number of Hitchcock's major films. Central to this book is the author's analysis of a "mother complex" that informs not only the major male and female characters of these and other Hitchcock films but their plot, formal structure, and visual, cinematic artistry as well.

Victor Serge was the first and the greatest witness of the twentieth century. An anarchist in France, a syndicalist in Spain, a critical Bolshevik in Russia, an agent of the Comintern in Germany and Austria, an exile, Serge once said that people judged history, but they did so without knowing what really happened and who the actors really were. All his work - novels. reportage, poetry, criticism - was an attempt to show what really happened, and why. Serge never lost hope, that ordinary people would act for themselves and take control of their own lives. On the ship taking him to exile in Mexico, where he would die isolated and in poverty, he recalled, The Russians and Spaniards among us know what it is to take the world into their hands, to set the railways running and the factories working...no kind of predestination impels us to become the offal of the concentration camps.

Therapy is not a matter of technique but is rather an art or craft and has much to learn from other forms of art and craft, such as painting, fiction, music and poetry. Like artists, therapists need to feel free if they are to be truly creative. This book presents an argument for that therapeutic freedom.

Since its formation in 1965, the Philadelphia Association has carved out a unique position in the world of psychotherapy, particularly through its engagement with philosophy, especially phenomenology and post phenomenology.
