This book considers mysticism – a world of ineffable experience – to see if it might have anything to teach those in the therapeutic world, invites the reader to look at newer ways of psychoanalytic thinking, and uses writers of the past to help illuminate contemporary issues.
This book is a collection of occasional papers on the practice of psychotherapy for pre-qualification students and for more experienced professionals, focusing on the development of some psychoanalytic theories into their social and historical context.
