Description
Britton's exploration of belief and imagination in psychoanalysis brings together his writing from the last 15 years, examining key concepts from a Kleinian perspective. This book delves into the nature of phantasies in an individual's mind, their relationship to objectivity and subjectivity, and how they can be understood through psychoanalytic terms.
Britton also examines the connection between psychic reality and fictional writing, exploring how belief, imagination, and reality are represented in the works of notable writers. This thought-provoking book offers insights into the complex interplay between these concepts.
With its unique blend of psychoanalytic theory and literary analysis, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the human mind and the power of imagination.
