Description
This Art of Psychoanalysis: Dreaming Undreamt Dreams and Interrupted Cries by Thomas H. Ogden offers a unique perspective on psychoanalysis, exploring the role of dreaming in human psychology.
Building on the work of key figures such as Freud, Klein, Winnicott, and Bion, Ogden examines how human psychopathology arises from a breakdown in an individual's capacity to dream their experience. The book delves into the analyst's role in participating psychologically in the patient's dreaming, providing a fascinating insight into clinical practice.
With elegant and absorbing accounts of clinical work, this engaging book conveys not just techniques but a way of being with patients that is humane and compassionate. It will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and other mental health professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of psychoanalysis.
