At once a memoir and a personal version of the author’s highly
influential Language of Psychoanalysis, this work by one of the
world’s leading proponents of psychoanalytic theory and practice
offers an autobiographical perspective on the private
“vocabularies” that develop between analyst and patient.
Because our ways of understanding the world are mediated by our use
of language, J.-B. Pontalis suggests that a close look at our
private lexicon can uncover a great deal about what we value.
Beginning with one of his own linguistic preoccupations, the
metaphor of the window, Pontalis considers language as a vehicle
for both self-awareness and self-deception; he explores how we
choose or eschew certain words to create our life-stories and
demonstrates how these words conceal—and reveal—our most
intimate preoccupations and desires.
