Beskrivning

'It is one of life's chilling characteristics that bonds that nourish also damage. We are formed and malformed at the same time. In an earlier work, Toxic Nourishment (1999), I explored the ways that emotional nourishment and toxins are fused. Damaged Bonds complements and adds to this, by encouraging us to look at and face, as we can, how we wound and are wounded by the bonds we need to live. It is, perhaps, part of life's oddity that doing so, to the extent we are able, brings its own kind of joy. '...It is the underlying assumption of this book that the therapy bond (both damaged/damaging and generative) helps support dream-work and connections between dream reality and every-day waking activities. It is thus, also, our hope that therapy helps improve psychic digestion. At a minimum, we suspect that it will help us to learn something about our relationship to emotional processes, so that we can become better partners to ourselves and others.'- Michael Eigen, from the Preface

Recensioner i media

'In Damaged Bonds, Michael Eigen once again offers a uniquely vital vision of psychic life, centered on the paradox that that which makes us most alive and connected also renders us most vulnerable and fragile. Reading Eigen is an experience unlike that of reading any other psychoanalyst because he is able to speak from within an individual's struggle with fear and desire, while drawing on the deepest insights of psychoanalytic theory. Listening to his voice, compassionate and wise, transforms us - a voice that transcends the conventional Them and Us of therapist and patient, it takes us straight into the I and Thou of recognition, where self and other suffer and learn together.'- Jessica Benjamin
