Several thousand years ago Indo-European culture diverged into
two ways of thinking; one went West, the other East. Tracing their
differences, Christopher Bollas examines how these mentalities are
now converging once again, notably in the practice of
psychoanalysis.
Creating a freely associated comparison between western
psychoanalysts and eastern philosophers, Bollas demonstrates how
the Eastern use of poetry evolved as a collective way to house the
individual self. On one hand he links this tradition to the
psychoanalytic praxes of Winnicott and Khan, which he relates to
Daoism in their privileging of solitude and non verbal forms of
communicating. On the other, Bollas examines how Jung, Bion and
Rosenfeld, assimilate the Confucian ethic that sees the individual
and group mind as a collective, while Freudian psychoanalysis he
argues has provided an unconscious meeting place of both
viewpoints.
Bollas s intriguing book will be of interest to
psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, Orientalists, and those concerned
with cultural studies.
