The Impostor Self-image and its Effects
by Sonja Rohrmann
They are successful high performers and to the outsider they appear to be capable, qualified, and skilled. Nevertheless, despite obvious evidence of their actual capacities, some of them fear that they will not be able to repeat their successes. They tend to attribute career success not to personal expertise but to excessive effort or uncontrollable factors such as luck. People with the impostor self-image or “imposter syndrome” are convinced that they are not as intelligent and capable as they ap-pear to others and that they have arrived in their positions undeservedly. They thus experience themselves as “frauds” or “impostors” and fear that sooner or later they will be exposed as such.This book examines the characteristics of the impostor self-image, how it can be identified, how widespread it is, how it develops, its links with other personality traits, and its effects. Finally, the question of countering the impostor self-image is explored, along with how people can arrive at a realistic assessment of their own skills, counter self-doubt, and achieve greater psychological well-being.

May 2019Die Erfindung des Westens
Eine deutsche Geschichte mit Will McBride
by Ulf Erdmann Ziegler, Will McBride
Dieses Buch erzählt vom deutschen Abenteuer eines amerikanischen Puritaners, der »die Anfänge liebte«. Will McBride kam 1953 mit der US-Armee nach Deutschland und blieb. In West-Berlin erfand er die »Clique«, die melancholisch gestimmt ihr Vergnügen suchte. Mit diesem Motiv wurde er Fotograf der neuen Zeitschrift twen und bald ein Star seines Fachs. Die Aufnahme seiner Frau Barbara als Schwangerer gereichte zum Skandal. In den sechziger Jahren betrieb er in München ein riesiges Studio, in dem die Bilder für Zeig Mal! entstanden, das paradigmatische Aufklärungsbuch der sozialliberal verjüngten Republik. Von Worpswede bis in die Toskana suchte McBride nach einer frischen Form für einen überzeugenden Lebensstil. Die biographischen Recherchen des Autors summieren sich zu einer alternativen Kulturgeschichte der Bundesrepublik. Gastauftritte haben Willy Fleckhaus, Donna Summer, Hans Filbinger, Willy Brandt, Norman Rockwell und Wolfram Siebeck. Eine Auswahl von McBrides besten schwarzweißen Fotografien begleitet die ungewöhnliche Erzählung von der »Erfindung des Westens«.

The ArtsFebruary 2007Mathieu Kassovitz
by Will Higbee, Diana Holmes, Robert Ingram
Mathieu Kassovitz is arguably the most important filmmaker to have emerged from French cinema in the past two decades. As a director, his work often engages with highly controversial socio-political issues whilst still managing to attract and connect with a popular audience - and, above all, with a youth audience. He is also one of the few contemporary French filmmakers who is capable of productively engaging with Hollywood, in terms of cinematic style, narrative and genre, yet still retaining his own identity as a French filmmaker. In addition to his directorial successes, Kassovitz has also achieved considerable critical and commercial success in France as a screen actor. His films - whether directed by or acted in, or both - show an astonishing variety, from his early Métisse (1993), his break-through, La Haine (1995) through to Jeunet's Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (2000), Astérix et Obélix: Mission Cléopatre (2002) and Gothika (2003). Will Higbee's study is the first to explore of one of the most fascinating characters in French cinema. ;

2021Self-medication in Pregnancy and Breast-feeding
Counselling handbook
by Dr. Annette Abhau
Cough, hay fever or herpes are at least as troublesome during pregnancy and breast-feeding as under normal “conditions” - and yet everything is different. Physiological changes to the body in pregnancy and lactation, together with the vulnerability of the unborn baby or infant, set particular requirements when selecting the correct, safe medication. Especially in the area of self-medication, the needs of pregnant and breast-feeding women for information are great and call for competent advice! This comprehensive handbook is the key: General information about pharmacotherapy, supplementary measures, vaccinations, questions about diet and infections in pregnancy and lactation creates a broad knowledge base. The core feature of the book are the traffic light tables, with precise recommendations for medicinal products for all types of treatment. All the important indications for selfmedication in pregnancy and lactation are listed and the tables are supported by detailed explanations of the individual assessments. The sections “Advice from medical specialists” are particularly useful, with additional tips from gynaecologists and “Footnotes” with relevant information on the use of prescription- only medicines – and as the ultimate practical tool: the enclosed sales counter leaflets with all traffic light tables to enable quick reference for first-class advice!
