Description
The Shadow of the Object: Psychoanalysis of the Unthought Known by Christopher Bollas. This book explores the relationship between unconscious thinking and creativity, offering new insights into the scope of psychoanalysis. Bollas draws on Freud's theory and the British Object Relations School to examine how our early experiences shape us, influencing our thoughts and emotions in ways we may not even be aware of. The concept of the "unthought known" is central to this work, referring to the unconscious knowledge and assumptions that reside within us. As Bollas argues, it is possible to access and understand this unthought known through the unique relationship between analyst and patient in psychoanalysis. This book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the human psyche, shedding light on the transformative potential of exploring our unconscious mind. Published with a new preface by Christopher Bollas, The Shadow of the Object remains a significant contribution to psychoanalytic literature.
