It is rare to find an author or editor who does not believe that his/her book fills a very specific need. This editor is no exception. With the incredible proliferation of medical textbooks in recent years, it has become difficult to find an empty niche for yet another text. Nevertheless, the editors and authors of Principles of Medical Therapy in Pregnancy have been impressed by one very clearly appreciated void: While the association of medical

Overview: My heart sank when I was approached by Dr Hastings and by Professor Briggs (Senior Editor of Materials Science and Technology and Series Editor of Polymer Science and Technology Series at Chapman & Hall, respectively) to edit a book with the provisional title Handbook of Poly­ propylene.

Encour­ aged, however, by some colleagues (the new generation of scientists and engineers needs a good reference

Overview: Viele Psychotherapeut*innen schreiben ihrer Praxis eine Förderung von Selbstreflexion und selbstbestimmter Lebensführung zu, wohingegen Kritiker*innen eine Individualisierung und Verinnerlichung gesellschaftlicher Zwänge konstatieren. Ebenso umstritten ist, ob die Präsenz von Depressionen Folge einer pervertierten Emanzipation oder von selbstwertschädlichen Abhängigkeiten und Einschränkungen ist. Können und sollen Psychotherapien bei Depression Emanzipation fördern? Und wie lässt sich ein kritischer Anspruch in der Praxis der Verhaltenstherapie umsetzen, die traditionell als Anpassun
