In the last quarter of the twentieth century, if French people had a parenting problem or dilemma there was one person they consulted above all: Françoise Dolto (1908-88). But who was Dolto? How did she achieve a position of such influence? What ideas did she communicate to the French public? This book connects the story of Dolto's rise to two broader histories: the dramatic growth of psychoanalysis in postwar France and the long-running debate over the family and the proper role of women in society. It shows that Dolto's continued reputation in France as a liberal and enlightened educational thinker is at best only partially deserved and that conservative and anti-feminist ideas often underpinned her prominent public interventions. While Dolto retains the status of a national treasure, her career has had far-reaching and sometimes harmful repercussions for French society, particularly in the treatment of autism.

Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem that puts the quality of life and life expectancy of more than a billion children and adults at risk worldwide. Many lifestyle diseases may be associated with vitamin D deficiency: myocardial infarction, infections, cancer, neurological diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, to name just a few. This 4th updated edition incorporates numerous new insights into the therapeutic effect of vitamin D, including its importance for a healthy pregnancy, prenatal imprinting, optimum sporting performance, diabetes mellitus and autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or multiple sclerosis. Since the metabolism and the effect of vitamin D are supported by a complex network of micronutrients – for example, magnesium, vitamin A or vitamin K – a specific chapter is devoted to this network. Here, the reader can discover how vitamin D successfully protects against diseases, improves the quality of life and optimises medication and treatment!

Following its declaration of independence in 1948, the State of Israel is credited with “making the desert bloom” as well as integrating millions of Shoah survivors and those in need of escape from the cold winds of antisemitism. This courageous country, proud of its many Nobel Prize winners, has fallen foul of biased media reports fed by propaganda that succeeded in blemishing the positive world image of Israel and has impeded its diplomatic relations. This testimony describes the impact on the often dramatic daily life of the author by opening a window into intimate human scenes, under the dark cloud that appears in blue skies to announce a violent storm. The cloud serves as a symbol of the paradox of a life of freedom and prosperity on one hand, and never-ending violence on the other. Israel’s short history is traced step by step by the French Israeli author who has lived in Israel since the seventies. The author unveils a patchwork of myths and falsifications that have created a fake reality now encoded into the awareness of new generations. Reading this book requires an open mind that allows readers to discover a whole new intimate and poignant world. Françoise Hoffmann was born in France during World War II. Vichy laws made it impossible for her parents to stay in Paris, so they found a safe place to hide. The whole family survived the war. The author lives in Israel and has pursued a lifelong career in social work. 384 Pages, 15X22.5 Cm.

Que savez-vous vraiment d’Israël ? Depuis 1948, ce jeune Etat connu pour avoir fait refleurir le désert et intégré des millions de rescapés de la Shoah et ceux fuyant les vents froids de l’antisémitisme, est aujourd’hui à la pointe du progrès et malgré tout fait l’objet de reportages biaisés qui dégradent son image. La propagande palestinienne s’impose dans la bataille médiatique et gangrène les relations diplomatiques d’Israël avec nombre de chancelleries.Ce témoignage décrit les impacts d’une actualité fracassante sur la vie quotidienne à l’ombre du cumulonimbus. Ce gros nuage annonciateur d’orages dans un ciel d’azur symbolise le hiatus entre la normalité et l’enfer des violences endurées.L’auteure guide le lecteur pas à pas dans la courte Histoire d’Israël. À l’aide de faits documentés, souvent occultés, elle livre sa version des faits. Cet ouvrage répond à la nécessité de déconstruire les mythes et falsifications encryptés dans les consciences et étrangers à la vérité. Il analyse également le rôle de la Ligue Arabe dans cette vaste supercherie.La lecture de ce livre exige l’ouverture d’esprit requise pour la découverte d’un monde méconnu et attachant. Du parallèle établi entre la France et l’Etat hébreu, ressort une inimitié entre deux pays qui n’ont pas vocation à se mal aimer alors que les attentats islamistes font rage, et que des Juifs français s’installent en Israël.Francoise Hoffmann est née en France alors que ses parents pourchassés par Les lois de Vichy réussissent à survivre. De sa première visite en Israël, elle revient transformée et fera son alya avec son mari sioniste lui-aussi et leur deux enfants. Les abondantes notes consacrées aux événements dramatiques, à sa vie personnelle et à son engagement dans le travail social contribuent grandement à l’écriture de ce livre. 384 Pages, Published in 2020
