Who You Were Before Trauma
Over the last thirty-five years, our understanding of trauma has dramatically changed. We now know that most people live through at least one traumatic event—which can cause disorders that range from depression, addiction, and anxiety, to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. But when leading German psychotherapist Luise Reddemann became head of a psychosomatic clinic in 1985, many doctors were routinely dismissive of patients’ trauma. Dr. Reddemann has devoted her career to this question: How can survivors of complex trauma and PTSD heal—and even help themselves to heal? In Who You Were Before Trauma, she presents her groundbreaking method, along with positive therapeutic strategies, to therapists and patients alike. Psychodynamic Imaginative Trauma Therapy (PITT) incorporates imagination work at every stage of the three-phase trauma therapy model: Establish safety and stabilization Come to terms with traumatic memories Integrate and reconnect with others. By guiding patients to

Die Gleichnisse Jesu
Hat Jesus seine Gleichnisse wirklich so gemeint, wie die kirchliche Tradition sie versteht? Hat er Gott z.B. gleichgesetzt mit einem kleinlichen König, der seine Untertanen wegen Nichtigkeiten tötet? Luise Schottroff deckt den sozialgeschichtlichen Kontext der Gleichnisse Jesu auf. Sie zeigt, wie das herkömmliche Verständnis der Bildreden Jesu in die Irre führt und macht sichtbar, welch befreiende Botschaft Jesu Lehre tatsächlich enthält, wenn sie wieder als das verstanden wird, was sie ursprünglich war: eine im Gespräch vorgetragene Botschaft, die mit den Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörern rechnete und um die wirklichen Lebensverhältnisse wusste. Ein erstaunliches, spannendes und verblüffendes Buch!

Linguistik Der Eigennamen
Eigennamen genießen im Sprachsystem einen Sonderstatus, dem erst in den letzten Jahren verstärkte Aufmerksamkeit zukam. Personennamen stehen an der Spitze der Belebtheitshierarchie, müssen als spezielle, rein identifizierende Sprachzeichen erkennbar sein und bedürfen besonderer Schonung ihres Wortkörpers. Abweichungen vom 'Normalwortschatz' betreffen alle sprachlichen Ebenen und werden (im Deutschen) diachron ausgebaut. Die Beiträge beleuchten datenbasiert (syn- und diachron) onymische Sonderwege in den verschiedenen Bereichen der Grammatik. Das Spektrum reicht von der Phonologie bis zur Pragmatik. Im Fokus stehen u.a. Prozesse der (De-)Onymisierung, der onymischen (De-)Flexion, kreative Wortbildungen sowie soziopragmatische Steuerungen von Genus und Definitartikel. Der nun vorliegende Band richtet sich an das linguistische Fachpublikum, an Lehrende und Studierende. Er bündelt die aktuellsten Forschungsergebnisse und versteht sich als Impuls zur weiteren Erforschung des
