Somatic Ego State Therapy for Trauma Healing: Whole Again
Par Silvia Zanotta. 2025
This book integrates Ego State Therapy with body-based therapies to present a multidimensional approach to working with clients who have…
experienced trauma.Drawing upon a range of important modalities, including Somatic Experiencing®, Polyvagal theory, Hypnotherapy, and Ego state therapy, Silvia Zanotta lays out a practical view of what it means to navigate the internal and external world in the aftermath of trauma. She provides an up-to-date applications-oriented view that prepares the practitioner to move beyond a one-size fits all treatment formula to meet the complexity of human experience. This approach holds that issues such as resistance, guilt and shame, rejection, and rage should be anticipated as a part of, more than an obstacle to, PTSD treatment. Case vignettes, transcript content, and step-by-step instructions for specific interventions and activities take the content of the chapters from theory to practice. This is a practical, experiential book that will appeal to all professionals working with trauma, including psychotherapists, counsellors, body workers, and social workers.
Somatic-Oriented Therapies: Embodiment, Trauma, and Polyvagal Perspectives
Par Stephen W. Porges, Herbert Grassmann, Maurizio Stupiggia. 2025
An innovative collection of research and theory from leading voices in the fields of trauma and somatic therapies. Somatic-Oriented Therapies…
represents a significant consolidation of innovative research and clinical approaches aimed at addressing trauma through various somatic modalities. In the past six decades, a multitude of therapeutic methods have emerged globally, revolutionizing trauma treatment and existential distress management. However, these approaches have often diverged, hindering the development of a cohesive, distinct field independent of traditional paradigms. This volume of collected work from some of the world’s leading experts in trauma aims to delineate this novel domain of research and clinical intervention. It elucidates the common thread linking the contributing authors and introduces a new clinical perspective. Central to this perspective is the recognition of the profound significance of the body-to-body relationship between therapist and patient; the critical role of trust establishment within the clinical context as a prerequisite for deep transformation; and the possibility to “question” the body, finding “unthought-of” avenues of transformation. Contributors include: Michael Allison, Martina Ardizzi, Ken Benau, David Berceli, Sue Carter, Cristiano Crescentini, Francesca Ferroni, Aaron Freedman, Vittorio Gallese, Jeltje Gordon-Lennox, Susan Harper, Molly Boeder Harris, Bach Ho, Steve Hoskinson, Hanneke Kalisvaart, J. David Knottnerus, Jacek Kolacz, Aline La Pierre, Rabih Lahoud, Francois Le Doze, Chairaa Marazzi, Alessio Matiz, Emily Newcomer, Pat Ogden, Antonia Pfeiffer, Betsy Polatin, Alessandra Pollazzon, Robert Schleip, Arielle Schwartz, Raja Selvam, Jane Shaw, Marlysa Sullivan, Jennifer Tantia, Chantal Traub, Donnalea Van Vleet Goelz, Ruby Jo Walker, Jan Winhall, Zabie Yamasaki, and Silvia Zanotta.

Par Sven Daniel Wolfe. 2025
This open access book explores the linkages between geopolitics and hosting mega-events. It encompasses and transcends the international and domestic…
dimensions of soft power to unpack how mega-events shape cities and societies through notions of unity and greatness, but also investigates local developments beneath the Potemkin surface of the global spectacle. Drawing on a global range of case studies from Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North America, South America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia, this volume features the sensitivity of grounded local research framed within geopolitical perspectives. Together, they present an international and transdisciplinary understanding of the local and global political implications of hosting mega-events. The volume reveals what hides under the mega-event spectacle: problems that – regardless of national context – most often occur to the detriment of host populations. This is an open access book.
Internalist Virtue Epistemology: A Stoic Model
Par Benjamin W. McCraw. 2025
This monograph works at the intersection of two of the most popular and growing fields in epistemology: epistemic normativity or…
value and virtue epistemology. By challenging two hitherto un- or under-explored sets of assumptions—epistemological orthodoxies—operative in those fields and, by rejecting them, the book develops novel approaches to current theories of epistemic value and virtue. The book argues that what is needed is an internalist (i.e. non-externalist) mode of epistemic virtue. To accomplish this, it draws on Stoic moral theory, whereby the deployment of virtue—no matter whether one has any &‘external&’ success—suffices for completely successful action.
The German-Soviet War: Combat, Occupation, and Legacies
Par Jeff Rutherford, Robert Von Maier. 2025
The German-Soviet War revises the conflict's generally accepted understanding through case studies, demonstrating the complexity of the war at the…
local level. The contributors assembled by Jeff Rutherford and Robert von Maier examine the multiplicity of experiences of individuals caught in this savage war, starting with the German war of annihilation launched against Soviet state and society in June 1941. This detailed collection shows that the particular nature of the war in the east resulted from an intertwining of military, ideological, and economic motives. The German-Soviet War puts Germany's murderous policies toward Soviet Jews and prisoners of war, and the justification for these policies and actions within the ranks of the army, into the larger context of battlefield events. The neglected topic of the destructive German scorched-earth retreats receives detailed analysis, demonstrating the importance of ideology and economic thinking in the German army's war. The difficulty in reconciling economic and ideological considerations also played a prominent role in Soviet attempts to rebuild after the war. The German-Soviet War not only brings attention to these devastating events but also revises the general narrative of the war. By internationalizing the conflict through examinations into the various Axis and Allied nations and peoples who participated in the fighting, this volume provides new ways of conceptualizing their motivations, actions, and importance in its eventual outcome. Together, the contributions to The German-Soviet War provide new ways of examining the defining conflict of the Second World War.

Theater of the Void explores contemporary German theater in the aftermath of the technology of the atomic bomb. Informed by…
threats of total annihilation—whether through nuclear technology or, more recently, global warming—German-language theater since the late 1970s encounters the void not as empty space or nothingness but as the possibility of radical transformation. Theater of the Void investigates theatrical forms that transform fundamental categories of time, space, and causality in light of the ontological and epistemological shifts of the nuclear age. Teresa Kovacs focuses on four directors and playwrights whose works offer insights into the theater of the void: Heiner Müller, Elfriede Jelinek, Christoph Schlingensief, and René Pollesch. Kovacs shows that contemporary German theater has not turned away from the sciences after Hiroshima and Nagasaki but has remained entangled with scientific thinking about quantum physics, biology, and the environment. Investigating these entanglements, Theater of the Void finds in the works of these German theater-makers a grammar of the void that speaks to the possibilities of a transformed theater in the Anthropocene.
