Beskrivning

In Christopher Bollas’ Streams of Consciousness, a wide spectrum of theory and practice are explored, sometimes appearing in simple fragments, sometimes via complex lines of thinking that are developed in detail over time. As Bollas revisits the received truths and dogmas of his profession – including his own prejudices – he demonstrates the value of open, intelligent uncertainty. Interspersed with clinical preoccupations, which highlight the richness as well as the bewildering complexity of psychoanalysis, we find other ideas that reflect his early life as political activist, literature professor, and cultural critic. Throughout, the notebooks are enriched by references to the work of numerous writers in many fields who have influenced his thinking.This work is essential reading for all with an interest in psychoanalysis which will enrich both academic study and clinical practice.

‘Psychoanalysis doesn’t need masters – and yet, by any reckoning, Christopher Bollas is among the most brilliant psychoanalysts of his generation. He is also one of the most inventive, and the publication of his Notebooks is a significant event. Many of the ideas in these volumes will be familiar to Bollas’s wide international readership, many more will not. It takes time and requires close reading to discover the recuring patterns of meaning in this extensive collection of what were originally intended as private notes. The pleasure of discovery is sustained by the often-involuntary layering of associations, resemblances, and allusions. Gradually, as the process of thinking is repeatedly caught in the act of writing, the architecture of Bollas’s thought begins to take shape, affording the reader a valuable insight into the inner workings of an eminent psychoanalytic practitioner.’
