Description

The distinguished psychoanalyst Christopher Bollas here extends his exploration of the inner world of human experience. Taking Freud's vision of the dream process as a model for all unconscious mental experience, he suggests that the rhythm of that experience--in which we respond to everyday moments of psychic intensity by breaking them up into their constituent factors (remembered, bodily, instinctual) that we then recombine in a new understanding--is vital to individual creativity and freedom.
