Acclaimed author of On Kissing, Tickling and Being Bored and On
Kindness A collection of literary essays like no other - exploring
the deep connections between literature and psychoanalysis - from
Britain's leading psychoanalyst. For Adam Phillips - as for Freud
and many of his followers - poetry and poets have always held an
essential place, as both precursors and unofficial collaborators in
the psychoanalytic project. But the same has never held true in
reverse. What, Phillips wonders, at the start of this deeply
engaging book, has psychoanalysis meant for writers? And what can
writing do for psychoanalysis? Phillips explores these questions
through an exhilarating series of encounters with - and vivid
readings of - writers he has loved, from Byron and Barthes to
Shakespeare and Sebald. And in the process he demonstrates, through
his own unique style, how literature and psychoanalysis can speak
to and of each other. 'Adam Phillips is that rarest of phenomena, a
trained clinician who is also a sublime writer' - John Banville,
author of The Sea 'Reading Phillips, you may be amused, vexed,
dazzled. But the one thing you will never be is bored' Observer
'One of those writers whom it is a pleasure simply to hear think'
Sunday Telegraph
