In writing and lecturing over the past two decades on the
relationship between psychoanalysis and art, Danielle Knafo has
demonstrated the many ways in which these two disciplines inform
and illuminate each other. This book continues that discussion,
emphasizing how the creative process in psychoanalysis and art
utilizes the unconscious in a quest for transformation and healing.
Part one of the book presents case studies to show how free
association, transference, dream work, regression, altered states
of consciousness, trauma, and solitude function as creative tools
for analyst, patient, and artist. Knafo uses the metaphor of dance
to describe therapeutic action, the back-and-forth movement between
therapist and patient, past and present, containment and release,
and conscious and unconscious thought. The analytic couple is both
artist and medium, and the dance they do together is a dynamic
representation of the boundless creativity of the unconscious mind.
Part two of the book offers in-depth studies of several artists to
illustrate how they employ various media for self-expression and
self-creation. Knafo shows how artists, though mostly creating in
solitude, are frequently engaged in significant relational proceses
that attempt rapprochement with internalized objects and repair of
psychic injury. Dancing with the Unconscious expands the
theoretical dimension of psychoanalysis while offering the
clinician ways to realize greater creativity in work with patients.
