Since the concept was first created in the late 1990s, the New Authority has found its application in various fields of activity. For the first time, the NeNA (Network New Authority) publisher's network is placing the tried and tested concept clearly in the focus of the pedagogical, therapeutic, leadership-related and overall social context. The book thus fulfills the criteria of a manual, which makes the current status of the discussion and practice visible. In addition, it should stimulate thinking about further developments and meanings. So it should also be a sociopolitical book in which we act and respond appropriately to questions and requirements of our time. The new standard work of the New Authority is introduced by a foreword by Arist von Schlippe and Haim Omer.
