Each person invests many of the objects in his life with his or her
own unconscious meaning, each person subsequently voyages through
an environment that constantly evokes the self's psychic history.
Taking Freud's model of dreamwork as a model for all unconscious
thinking, Christopher Bollas argues that we dreamwork ourselves
into becoming who we are, and illustrates how the analyst and the
patient use such unconscious processes to develop new psychic
structures that the patient can use to alter his or her self
experience. Building on this foundation, he goes on to describe
some very special forms of self experience, including the tragic
madness of women cutting themselves, the experience of a cruising
homosexual in bars and bathes and the demented ferocity of the
facist state of mind. An original interpreter of classical theory
and clinical issues, in Being a Character Christopher Bollas takes
the reader into the very texture of the psychoanalytic process.
