The academic book "Toxic Language and Mental Violence" by Monika Schwarz-Friesel examines the deeply rooted anti-Semitic thought and emotional patterns that have influenced our communication for centuries. In a comprehensive analysis, it demonstrates how these patterns shape not only language but also interpersonal interaction, potentially leading to a form of mental violence. With a paperback cover and a total of 222 pages, the book offers a well-founded exploration of the topic of language and literature. The second edition, set to be published in 2025, is aimed at readers who wish to develop a deeper understanding of the effects of toxic language on society. The work is written in German and originates from Germany, making it a valuable resource for professionals and those interested in the fields of linguistics and social psychology.
