Reviews
This is a new, refreshing voice that speaks with complete clarity and understanding about the way people really experience the world. It is a book that is valuable for students and clinicians, as well as laypeople. - Faye Newsome, Chair of the Board of Trustees, Centre for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies Recently, the art of storytelling has come into its own, with the popularity of the Moth, and other similar story-telling venues. It wasn't invented by psychoanalysts in the late 19th century, but it certainly was brought to the level of high art as well as science. Unfortunately, when psychoanalysis was brought from Vienna to America, it was coopted by medical practitioners, a tradition that Freud himself objected to, and wrote, The Question of Lay Analysis, in defense of training psychoanalyst from all walks of life, not just physicians. Psychoanalytic patients are amongst the best story-tellers we have. They tell the stories of their lives; they ponder the interesting, the painful, the unimaginable (until the unconscious becomes conscious, and all is able to be imagined).In this new, wonderfully digestible book, Claudia Luiz makes it possible to understand complex principles in an emotional way. It's educative, entertaining, even enthralling, as a good analysis is, to both patient and analyst. - Jane G. Goldberg, Psychoanalyst-Author-Holistic Practitoner-Blogger Claudia Luiz understands what leads to mental health, and makes complex psychoanalytic principles accessible to readers. - Jane Snyder, President, Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis Like her previous book, Dr. Luiz creatively and cogently articulates the inner workings of modern psychoanalysis.ã She bridges the gap from old to new, modernizing psychoanalysis for our contemporary culture.This book will be required reading for all my students.And, since we always remain students in this field, it is an enlightening read for all clinicians and aspiring therapists.Dr. Luiz blasts through the analytic rhetoric and jargon to bring Modern Psychoanalysis into the 21st. century.Her writing style captivates the reader like a novelist as she teaches the core principles and techniques of contemporary analytic work. Delightful and refreshing. - Steven H. Padnick, Long Island Centre for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies An enduring pleasure. Luiz invites us in with her beautiful prose, but what kept me at the table was the feast of intellect, wit, and compassion each chapter provides. I return often for the pleasure of reaching the turn in each tale, in which I can see myself, and all humanity, illuminated from within. - Matthew Ponsot, Songwriter, Musician
