This book is a fascinating account through a series of essays, made more interesting still by its courageous self-disclosures and glimpses into the author's own history. --Professor Edward Khantzian, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Harvard Medical School (11/01/2016) These excellent and elegant essays extend the frontiers of group analysis, adding further depth and breadth, not to mention innovation, to our discipline and researches. --Malcolm Pines, group analyst, author of The Evolution of Group Analysis (11/01/2016) Very original, imaginative and striking - a different point of view on what we do. -- (11/01/2016) Martin Weegmann further develops his acute understanding of analogy, rhetoric, metaphor and symbolism and the ways in which group and individual narratives interweave and influence each other, including novel insights into the formation and lure of psychoanalysis. --Alistair D. Sweet, psychoanalytic psychotherapist, Belfast (11/01/2016) This beautifully written book is dizzyingly wide-ranging, its span including narrative and dialogical psychology, group analysis, rhetoric, literature, historical and political analysis, and even an excursion into the world of monsters, as well as the author's own clinical and personal experiences. We should be grateful to Martin Weegmann for giving himself the permission to narrate so broadly because the result is not just an invitation for a paradigm change in group analysis but a fine and evocative demonstration of the power of words. -- (11/01/2016)
