Reviews
In the simplest and most accessible manner, this French psychoanalyst-who used to be a theater director in his native Brazil--clearly and irrevocably demonstrates how the Freudian unconscious remains an invaluable tool for all psychotherapists to make their patients understand and deal with our world's terrors, as well as its joys. -Edith Kurzweil, Editor of Partisan Review, New York. I want to emphasize the practical usefulness of this book, which was very helpful to me in my psychiatric practice and in my work with psychotic patients. The fact that it describes many different universes and modes of expression of the unconscious encourages us to see the dynamic character of our daily practice. -Patrick Chemla, hospital physician and psychoanalyst (France), Director of Antonin Artaud Psychiatric Center, Reims. What makes these Letters essential reading is the generosity with which the author shares his internal world and his interest in the living being .With great honesty and gratitude, he poses the question of what makes someone a true psychoanalyst, whilst also looking at what sometimes prevents us from fulfilling this function. -Renato Mezan, psychoanalyst; professor of psychoanalysis and Director of Research, Catholic University of Sao Paulo. In the form of letters, the author deploys, with sensitivity, originality and precision, his art of accompanying a young psychoanalyst in her questioning about clinical practice. He exercises this art in resonance with inventive, open-minded analysts who ventured beyond Freudian territory to explore the encounter with the unprecedented, trauma, sexuality; the manner in which the questions raised, all of them timely, are reformulated communicates to the reader the joy engendered in an analysis and in life by the invention of a new frame of thought. -Jean Florence, psychoanalyst, former President of the Ecole Belge de Psychanalyse.
