Love is blind – not just to a partner’s shortcomings and faults, but often to one’s own needs as well. How can personal needs be identified, while staying true to oneself, yet still showing empathy towards the partner? How can one tell if this is Mr. or Ms. Right? How compatible are thin and thick-skinned people? In this book, Maja Storch shows the reader how to find out what their own needs are, take them seriously, articulate them, and communicate them to those they love. There’s no doubt about it: a relationship is hard work. But with this self-help book it can be fun. Target Group: Everyone interested in long-term, happy relationships
A guilty conscience can be a real nuisance. There is simply no rest and you can’t just turn it off through rational thought. Psychologically, in psychotherapy, advising and coaching, a guilty conscience is one of the most persistent and difficult symptoms to pin down. Maja Storch and Gerhard Roth ask the questions: why feelings of guilt are so prolonged and how to deal with them. Gerhard Roth explains which components of the human brain, over the course of its development, give rise to a phenomenon as complex as a guilty conscience. Using three practical and easily understandable examples, Maja Storch presents a system for everyday use which can be used to get to the root of your own guilty conscience and to develop a plan for dealing with it.

The idea that people can understand each other is based on the assumption that there is such thing as the “correct” meaning of a message that simply needs to be found. According to the theory of embodied communication, however, a message has no fixed meaning that can be extracted or deciphered. There is merely the mutually produced feeling of agreement on a linguistic form, which arises spontaneously and anew from the interaction and which is not present in the beginning. Psychologists Maja Storch and Wolfgang Tschacher have at last supplied a new theory of communication that is in line with the latest research – and that can be applied in real-life situations. In addition to a section on the theory of embodied communication, the book contains detailed practical comments and a workshop section. The practical section describes a selection of everyday situations in which communication skills are called for. The methods can be applied to promote authentic and spontaneous behavior in real life situations. Target Group: Psychologists, communication experts, trainers, coaches, managers, teachers, marketing experts, and anyone who needs to communicate effectively at work or in their private life.

Als Mira ins Auto steigt, um sich auf den Weg nach Südkärnten zu machen, weiß sie, dass ihr schwierige Tage bevorstehen: Ihre alte Mutter muss auf den Auszug aus dem Haus vorbereitet werden, in dem sie vor Jahrzehnten als ungelernte Arbeiterin mit den damals noch kleinen Kindern Obdach gefunden hat. Tatsächlich verdichten sich im Lauf der folgenden Wochen die Erinnerungen an eine als traumatisch erlebte Kindheit, die vom frühen Tod des Vaters genauso belastet war wie von der rigiden patriarchalen Ordnung und den Dogmen der katholischen Kirche. Die alten, unaufgelösten Konflikte verschaffen sich neuen Raum, und Mira beginnt zu verstehen, dass sie von den lang beschwiegenen Lebensgeschichten ihrer Ahninnen befeuert werden: Tagelöhnerin die eine, die unter dramatischen Umständen ums Leben kam, Partisanin die andere, die nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs nicht mehr nach Kärnten zurückkehrte. In eindringlichen Bildern erzählt Maja Haderlap in ihrem neuen Roman aus dem Leben dreier Generationen von Frauen, von ihren Verstrickungen in aufgezwungene und verinnerlichte Leitbilder und ihrem Ringen um Autonomie. Die Geschichte der Nachtfrauen ist eine der Verluste, des Schweigens und der Schuld, in der trotz allem die Nachsicht und der Respekt füreinander, vielleicht sogar die Liebe, nicht aufgegeben werden.
