Haim Omer's first work, "Authority Without Violence" was published in German in 2002, and the book "Authority through Relationship", which was published a short time later, has been in demand for almost twenty years now. The concept of introducing the principles of non-violent resistance in therapy and counseling is now theoretically and empirically better founded and has found its way into a large number of new fields of application. All of this is reason enough for an update on the development of the approach that is now briefly referred to as the "New Authority". In his tenth book with Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, Haim Omer, in proven co-authorship with Arist von Schlippe, presents a work that resolutely traces the development of "parental presence" through to the "anchor function". The bandwidth of the fields of application is presented, research results and proof of effectiveness are reported. In this way, the requirements of a handbook are fully met. Haim Omer presents an inspiring overview of his approach, which has become more and more differentiated in the concrete practice of his teams over the decades. The "current status" shows once again Omer's high standards of respect for the problems of parents, children, adolescents, young adults, but also other educators up to problem constellations in community-oriented contexts, as well as respect for the autonomy of those who focus of offers of help. There is no more fundamental work on the "New Authority" in all facets of development and application.
