Psychoanalytic process, as Eugene Mahon envisions it, is an odyssey
through the mind of each of his analysands, the many children and
adults he has treated over the forty years of his analytic
practice. The painted guinea pigs of the title refer to three-year
old children mourning their school pet. Who painted him? a child
asks when a replacement pet of a slightly different color arrives
in the school a few days after the death of the original pet, as if
the dead can return from the grave after a paint job. This book is
full of arresting images like this as the author explores many of
the most basic, fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis e.g.
repression, insight, transference, play, child analysis, working
through, dreams within dreams, jokes, puns, parapraxes as well as
the uncanny in dreams, screen memories, symptom, character and
Freud s discovery of the Oedipus complex. This book is a highly
original, creative psychoanalytic odyssey, a most intriguing
psychological voyage you will not want to disembark from."
