Emotional and cognitive adjustment in abused children
1994
Research on the impact of maltreatment on children has increased in the last years, as there is a need to design appropriate treatment strategies.

La violencia de género se suele ejercer en el ámbito privado o familiar, motivo por el cual, los hijos pueden considerarse tanto víctimas directas por sufrir violencia física o psicológica, como indirectas al ser testigos de la violencia ejercida sobre sus progenitoras por parte de la persona vinculada afectivamente.

Arendt, Eichmann and the Politics of the Past
2021
Part of the Pro et Contra series. Arendt, Eichmann and the Politics of the Past offers a critical analysis of the original American debate over Hannah Arendt’s report of the trial of Adolf Eichmann.

Parvikko’s analysis carefully draws from the historical background of the report, discussing Arendt’s early studies of Zionism and her critique of the Jewish state. The volume also gives an account of Eichmann’s capture in Argentina and the reception of the report among legal s…
