Bøger af UK) Bollas

Uses detailed studies of real clinical practice to illuminate a theory of psychoanalysis which privileges the human impulse to question. This title includes transcripts of real analytical sessions, accompanied by parallel commentaries which highlight key aspects of the free associative method in practice.

Builds on Freud's account of dream formation, combining it with perceptive clinical, theoretical and cultural insights to show how the psychoanalytical method can provide a rich understanding of what has traditionally been regarded as 'the outside world'. This title rejects the simplistic notion that mental life is unconsciously determined.

Christopher Bollas takes the reader right to the heart of psychotherapy, examining the mysterious aspects of the self that are revealed by the free associative process.
